    Do you think the full Irish is superior ?

    And if so .. whats the difference between and English Breakfast and an Irish one ?

    I've never even heard of a Northern Irish, Welsh or Scottish Breakfast (Although the last one might be a can and a punch in the face).

    Any Insight ?

    The Continental Breakfast is just a way for cheap hotels to save money on an actual decent breakfast.

    Oh, and I don't think the full English has pudding.

    English has beans.
    Irish usually ends in a session.
    My experience anyway.

    The Kris Kristofferson breakfast is the best.

    Well I woke up Sunday morning,
    With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.
    And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,
    So I had one more for dessert.
    Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes,
    And found my cleanest dirty shirt.
    An' I shaved my face and combed my hair,
    An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day.

    I'd smoked my brain the night before,
    On cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'.
    But I lit my first and watched a small kid,
    Cussin' at a can that he was kicking.
    Then I crossed the empty street,
    'n caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken.
    And it took me back to somethin',
    That I'd lost somehow, somewhere along the way.

    I hate continental breakfasts -.- Too early in the morning for sweets and pastries tbh.

    Difference between English and Irish breakfast, I think Is that they're both the same, but the English breakfast contains hash browns, Irish uses Soda bread, while English has toast.


    I think :pac:

    +1 one hating the continental breakfast I always feel cheated if im on holiday and the hotel only does it.

    Irish Breakfast does have toast as well. Well almost everywhere I have had it had it. An English one has fried bread was the main difference i seen

    The English one has them rotten sausages and no brown bread. How can you eat a fry with no brown bread? It's sacrilege. I'd rather eat porridge.

    I don't think I've ever had a fry with brown bread to be honest. Interesting.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Oh you're missing out! If you're going all out, fry the soda bread. Class.

    in the Welsh fry-up you get lamb chops, so that makes it the boss of all other fry-ups. German and Dutch brekkies are the worst(no wurst),like something you would eat at a Trappist Monastery as a pennance.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,104 ✭✭✭Swampy


    It lacks bacon. Need I say more?


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,899 ✭✭✭✭BBDBB


    Scottish breakfast variously includes lorne sausage (its a slab of sausage meat, very tasty), potato scone, and haggis as well as the usual bacon egg etc




    then they dip it in batter and deep fry the lot! ;)

    I like McDonald's breakfast. Mmmmm... Double sausage and egg muffin

    I think the main difference between Irish and continental breakfasts is about 10 years off your life expectancy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,407 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    Sure nobody wants the last 10 years anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1



    I've never even heard of a Northern Irish,

    Never heard of the Ulster Fry?

    It has soda bread :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,167 ✭✭✭Fr_Dougal


    A croissant and cup of freshly brewed strong coffee on a sunny weekend morning around 8am on the balcony whilst reading the news, heaven.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,128 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    what exactly is a continental breakfast anyway it seems different every time I have it, usually its a croissant jam coffee though and sometimes its accompanied by cold deli meat, some cheese, fruit and a boiled egg. its not a bad breakfast if it comes with cereal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,262 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    English and irish breakfast is the same. I prefer our sausages though. Ulster one usually has potato cakes and soda bread.
    Continental breakfast is shiite. If you're lucky your hotel might do eggs benedict

    I can't stand soda bread, or brown bread, or mcdonalds breakfast. A sound english breakfast is

    Sausage
    Bacon
    Egg
    Black pudding
    Beans
    White toast, cut into triangles
    And a pot of tea.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Anyone


    English sausage and pudding is rank. Also their rashers aint up to much either. Then again, I hate hotel rashers...never cooked enough, and they stew in those containers.

    As for a continental breakfast, not for me I'm afraid.

    The Ulster fry is a thing of beauty, it has to have a soda farl in it, really not healthy but delicious.

    A pub in Ennis used to do a Banner Breakfast, full Irish with loads of toast and chips along with a pint, wonderful on a Sunday morning.
