    Whats a spice burger? Some people havent lived! Walsh family are legends in thier spare time!

    I thought they were an Irish thing but must be a Dublin thing).

    Im in Poland the last week and tgis morning i was craving a fry up. Although we grill everything and poach the eggs.

    Sausages, white pudding (from the local butcher and its spreadable when cooked) denny maple rashers, beans, granby burger, spice burger, hash, and on a rare occassion some fried mushrooms. 2 toasts, 2 batch untoasted and i have a giant mug for tea. Its a gnarly task eatting it.

    After that the sunday is usually a write off and i cant look at food until lunch time monday but its sooooo worth it.

    Thread title disappoint. Was expecting more Stephen Fry :(

    I have cooked thousandsand thousands of full irish brealfasts as a chef and ironically I am not a fan of them. I like stuff in it individually, but eating all that as a breakfast in the morning is freaking horrible.
    I don't care what anyone say, but irish breakfast pork sausages are rotten. There is nothing that would resemble pork in them! A few times we did proper free range pork sausages ourselves and people were complaining that those tasted bad/were gone off/something wrong/Wtf is that.

    The perfect fry involves a drive to Fidelma's in Dunshaughlin, ordering a large fry, then having someone carry you back to the car and laying you down in the back seat if you manage to finish it!

    Not just the biggest, but hands down the best fry going.

    Butter flying sausages, stuff them between a diced fried tomato , two pieces of streaky bacon, all wrapped around two pieces of back bacon, put them in a ciabatta bread with sautéed onions seasons with black pepper ...... ( grated grilled cheese optional)

    Doing a fancy version of a fry up is just wrong. It's a fry, enjoy it for what it is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,530 ✭✭✭Duck's hoop


    Not a fry man anymore. Sausages just don't do it. Eggs must be poached.

    That having been said, fried almost everything is tasty. To imply it is always unhealthy is indicative of knowing jack shìt about cooking and/or health.

    White pudding is the work of Satan

    Thats probably why they taste so damn good.
    Keep up the good work Lucifer!

    Any decent fry up worth its salt must contain at least three different products of a dead pig.

    After that the added extras come into play. Eggs, beans, fried potato (never chips - ever), tomatoes, mushrooms, fried bread, bubble & squeak (not available in R.O.I :(). But it must contain at least three of these things.

    Copious quantities of toast/soda bread (preferably both) with real butter and a big fuck off mug of shcald with plenty more in the pot are absolutely obligatory.

    Hash browns are pure dirt.

    Damn right. And great for soaking up the juices from the rashers. Always leave room on the plate for at least two of them.

    As for spice burgers. These things have no business gatecrashing a breakfast. The only excusable to reason to permit these things to enter the human body is if they are going in after a day long session of Bulmers. They don't belong out in the mornings - Well, not after after sunrise anyway.

    The men of the Easter Rising did not fight for this countries freedom so that the above blasphemous statements could be made without retirbution. You should be shot sir.

    Four Denny's sausages
    Four Denny's rashers
    Two slices of hot buttered toast buttered on both sides
    Spread some chef red or brown sauce on the toast
    Insert sausage and rasher to the toast, dip in some more sauce
    And polish the whole lot off
    And to drink you get a lovely steaming hot mug of strong sweet tea.

    I bake my bacon and sausage. Can't stand frying it, stinks the joint.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,197 ✭✭✭Eutow


    Sausages, rashers - (and because I don't like white or black pudding, two extra sausages and two extra rashers will be needed) - fried potato, fried or poached eggs, mushrooms, beans, tomato, fried bread, toast, soda bread, and plenty of coffee.

    Condiments should include tomato sauce and mustard.

    All good, throw some on, bachelors if your flush, lidl's if your on a budget. Avoid Heinz's offering here, not good.

    Why are so many of ye people calling rashers "bacon"? Are ye trying to be sophisticated and cosmopoliton Americans or something. FFS what you have for breakfast is rashers and what you'd have for dinner with cabbage and spuds and a glass of milk is bacon....in this country anyway. Would ye call yer mobile a cell phone or the wing of the car the fender?

    This is on my to-do list this year when I go to London:

    http://i.imgur.com/aJsj6qX.jpg

    Breakfast by Hawksmoor:

    That pic feeds 2 for £35 sterling, the thing under the tomatoes is bone marrow for spreading on your toast or just eating with a fork.

    Heres the menu, some great stuff on there:

    Anyone who has chips and beans with their fry can just fcuk right off to teatime.

    A clean frying pan is the best tool for making good scrambled eggs.

    I love fry stuff,
    but you know, they never look all that good in a picture.

    Also, that's FAR too much food.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,886 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    That breakfast in the pic serves 2, Id eat that much no bother.

    I don't like baked sausages, they shrink and lose their juiciness, even good quality ones..

    That's big but I don't believe it's 8000 calories.

    That's really expensive, ~€20 each. For a fry. And apart from the bone marrow, it looks nothing out of the ordinary.
