Real Irish Breakfast?

Controversial! Surely the "basics" - the absolute minimum - are sausage, rasher, egg, toast and tea or coffee. Ideally, you'll be getting black and/or white pudding, too. Tomato is optional. Mushrooms are optional. Hash browns aren't traditional but are welcome. Never seen one served with onions! Beans - if you really, really must, but they have to be in a ramekin and not touching anything else!

Soda bread, potato farls/cakes and other types of cooked/fried bread are all 'Ulster Fry' territory, which is not 'Full Irish'.

We used to have left over boiled potatoes, semi mashed and fried with our breakfast ..

Two sausages,two rashers(not streaky),two eggs,a well fried tomato,toast and a couple slices of bread to wipe up the egg yoke and a couple of cups of tea.And Chef Sauce(brown) will do me ant time.

40 years ago sausage were first on the list certainly from my experience, couldn’t imagine full Irish without them

Hard to say what is ‘real’, but what I like…

sausages x2

bacon x2

fried eggs x2

Bread : soda or just regular toast

black and white pudding

mushrooms

occasionally fried baby potatoes too but that’s my own variation.

if the beans are on the plate use a sausage as a breakwater

Sausages are the first thing the majority would say is definite.

Streaky bacon is a load of dumb American shte.

Smashed avocad...

I'll leave now.

You can't beat a glass of sparkling water with a slice of lime. Can you make tea with sparkling water?

😂 Wishful thinking I would say

If you read the article again, the study never actually recommended eating a fried breakfast

The study found that eating a bigger breakfast is beneficial, but they don't mention if they recommended any particular foods.

It's the author who keeps saying it's healthy to eat a fry. That's actually pretty bad journalism, a lot of folks might take it at face value and think they're eating their way to success, when in reality they're eating their way to an early grave 😱

Unfortunately the current advice is to avoid those heavily processed meats like sausages and bacon as much as possible. Maybe when all this gene modification becomes normal we'll be able to eat whatever we want, but for now we'll have to stick with the limits imposed by mother nature 😭

Still, I actually prefer a fry as a once a week treat, makes it a nice bonus. I think I'd get fed up eating it every day
