Options other than Full Irish

LadyLucinda

When out for breakfast do you ever get anything bar the full Irish or some form of a fry?

Poached eggs, whole grain waffles, fruit and yogurt, just toast... I very very rarely want a full Irish, but it's still nice to have something a bit different without preparing it myself!

Letterkenny has some great spots to eat

Eggs Benedict done properly is magnificent but tricky to find even on brunch menus.

HugsiePie

Egg and soldiers

OR PANCAKES

tobsey

French toast, two sausages and some maple syrup.

Hotel menus mostly, and nicer cafes I suppose.

PizzamanIRL

No it doesn't fit into my €50 per week food budget

LadyLucinda

If something is not on the menu do you ask for what you want? Any place I ever go into it just seems to be a fry in a few different forms

I often have a carvery in the morning, get a clean run of the day.

The Backwards Man

Toast and bananas!

debabyjesus

French toast with rashers and maple syrup. The hungarian place on bolton street dublin does this very well.

I never order off menu, too many memories of total as$holes asking for stuff that wasn't even related to the actual menu when I was waitressing - one particularly memorable lady asked for eggs benedict and a side of exotic fruit salad. Sounds lovely, except it was a dodgy enough, small town greasy spoon with a choice of full breakfast or mini breakfast

A fry up is the king of breakfasts in my opinion, it's hard to beat. McDonalds and Burger King's breakfast menus come close, though, I'd barely consider what Burger King sells a breakfast food, though it is delicious. I remember once ordering a "Continental Breakfast", and no exaggeration, I got some ham and cheese on a plate, I'm not sure if that's what a continental breakfast is supposed to be, but I'll never be ordering one again. I went to Cyprus on holiday a few years ago, all the places served an item called a "Cypriot Breakfast", which was pretty much a regular Irish/English breakfast, but with an omlette instead of fried eggs and a slice of grilled halloumi cheese. Halloumi cheese is delicious, really added to the fry up, I wish the stuff wasn't so expensive here.

Surely all reasonable requests could be provided? The customer is always right after all!!

Ah yea, I can imagine the chef now, run up to supervalu there for some mangoes and whatever goes into hollandaise!
There's 'no mushrooms' reasonable and then there's '4 star hotel quality breakfast in greasy spoon' reasonable!

Choodefat

Poached eggs on spinach - lightly boiled from frozen - and garlic bread...pretty tasty!

Or a full irish including the above hah.

pandaboy

Crack. Definitely crack.

You cant beat a load of sausages and puddin' with fried eggs n ****, washed down with really strong tea. Amazing. Truly amazing.

Was passing a small cafe in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, years ago, on the way back to the motel about 5am. The queue was mad so I hit the hay and came back later. There was still a bit of a queue near midday, so I stood in line and noticed all were ordering the same coffee.
I asked for it before ordering food, but the guy said twas a special only available with the 'All day breakfast'...
Went for that - and soon felt pretty grand all over - and so did everyone else by the looks of them...
You had to pay for a coffee refill - which was unusual in the U.S - at least then, anyway...but it was gorgeous stuff...
Went back every day for nearly a week, until I heard the Columbian owner was shut down and arrested..!

Hungover, full fry up. Not hungover, pho noodle soup. Before work, coffee and a smoke.

I love natural yoghurt with sweet granola and different kinds of berries (my favourites are strawberries, raspberries, cherries, & blueberries) and honey. Occasionally have a spoon of peanut butter mixed into the yoghurt too. My favourite regular breakfast by a mile!

biko

Bubble and squeak.

full_irish

Well this is awkward...

Choodefat

Uh huh...

Choodefat

One third Irish meself

Smidge

Never understood the love for the full breakfast. If I was out somewhere ordering breakfast, I would have bacon and eggs with maybe mushrooms on the side. A full breakfast just seems like way too much fried stuff all in one go
Puts me right off.

Sir Arthur Daley

A full english.

I go for it because it's exotic.

Oatmeal with sultanas and sliced banana, with a large milky coffee.

And mugs and mugs and mugs of tea to follow.

Farmer Brown's on Bath Avenue in Dublin does a breakfast salad - amazing.

When hungover - chicken wings in either Tribeca or Canal Bank Cafe are the perfect cure.

Heaps of mushrooms! Mushrooms and orange juice. Or, if I'm at a deli then mushrooms on a roll with all the dough scooped out. Top job!

When I'm hungover, pineapple for breakfast.

neamhspleachi

Cheese & pancetta omellette, glass of freshly squeezed OJ & ground coffee & a roll-up to finish

Arthur Beesley

A few cuts of bread and a sup of tae. Swally it in to you and up the road.

Corvo

Low fat natural yoghurt with some berries and honey (very small bowl of this) and then a small bit of gluten free toast with two poached eggs. Wash down with a bottle of water.

Full Brazilian. The stickyness and crunchiness combined is heaven.

Scrambled egg with smoked salmon is my favourite breakfast in the world!
