    Am reading a Stephen Fry book at the moment called '' More Fool Me '':)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,819 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    I like:

    2 OldHausen's sausages
    5 circles of Denny white pudding (my Dad says it's not real pudding but I like it)
    2 Galtee Hickory Rashers
    Glass of orange juice/Cup of tea/Two slices of fresh white bread and butter

    ALL done in the oven...cept the juice, tea and butter.

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

    I agree. Hawksmoor is pricey place anyway but their food is generally excellent. Although I don't think I'd be too gone on that breakfast. Bigger doesn't always mean better.

    For a really good breakfast in a proper cafe in Central London, The Regency is hard to beat.

    Actually, I don't think it looks very big at all, considering that's for two people and the price charged is a bit ridiculous.

    Spice burgers, in a fry? What the actual f*ck?

    Rashers, sausages and pudding grilled. Mushrooms and eggs fried.Toast... toasted. Beans optional. And if yer feeling fancy, cut the top off a tomato, hollow out some of the segments inside, pop some cheese in and grill that too. Plus a pint glass of orange juice (no bits!).

    For me tomorrow though, it'll be eggs benedict. *adjusts monocle*

    I could see a spice burger working alright in a fry, but can it be grilled or does it need time in a pre-heated oven, ergo being a bit of a nuisance to add?

    Let's just slap in a smoked cod while we're at it, at that rate. I will not abide by this madness!

    You get them in packs in the shops there not the kind u get in the chipper.

    Lovely with a nice runny fried egg on top and in between two lovely soft pieces of buttered bread!!

    You might as well try to convince Nick Griffin to consider the benefits of more races and religions in the UK.

    It ain't happening! :mad:

    Don't do it, you'll be dragging the unity and integrity of the REAL fry up ingredients into the mud!

    Multiburgeralism is a proven failure!
    Defend rights for egg whites!
    Love Breakfast vote NSB (No Spice Burgers)!







    And that's my cue for bedtime.

    Baked sausage is the best :)

    You can't beat a dried out sausage for either taste or flavour.....

    My death row breakfast would be a fry......smoked rashers, decent sausages, two fried eggs, B&W pudding [the nice one's from Westport], proper hash brownes 'merican style, plenty of toast and a pot of coffee - sorted ;)

    Disgusting way to start a day; it just makes you parched and bloated from all the salt and it probably uses up a whole day's calorie allowance in one go.


  • Registered Users Posts: 992 ✭✭✭danger_mouse_tm


    Here's my unique fry:

    Fire up the oven to 160 and throw in a glass dish containing halved vine tomatoes doused in olive oil and basil.
    Go do 20 minutes on the exercise bike and come back and warm up the frying pan with a knob of butter. put four eggs into that tiny little saucepan and beat the livin jaysus out of them with a plastic fork (You don't want that cancer causin' teflon favouring your eggs).
    Throw a pack of dry cured pancetta from Super valu (€2!) onto your pan and get your two plates out. Keep stirring them eggs and lift off the heat just as they start to break apart. Stir them out onto the plates, flip the pancetta and then use a slotted spoon to pick the tomatoes out of the glass dish. When the growler raises her afro head, you can shlap the meat on the plates Yumm!

    Hash browns are pure dirt.

    Home made ones are yummy ��. Lost on the spice burger thing too though. Miss the real superquinn sausages, they haven't been right for years, butchers only now.

    i use the petrol station rasher trick and lay them overlapping on a tray in the oven, so that (aside from the one on the far end) just the fatty bit is sticking out, no need to turn it at all.

    that way the loin part is all soft and moist, but the fat is properly rendered and crispy. :)

    I don't understand the fascination with ****ty cuts of pork for breakfast in Ireland and the UK. It's all horrible tasting and unhealthy to boot.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,226 ✭✭✭boobar


    Not spice burgers anyway.

    For me...sausage, egg, black and white pud, rashers and to crown it off......boxty!

    Jayse, I'm hungry now!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭Tarzana


    It's all horrible tasting and unhealthy to boot.

    Actually, many components of a fry aren't unhealthy at all.

    (Real) Butter = healthy (fry everything in butter)

    Eggs = healthy

    Rashers = healthy

    Mushrooms = healthy

    Tomatoes = healthy

    Potatoes = healthy


    Sausages and pudd would be more processed so less healthy. Bread in small doses would be fine. Beans are fine too.

    So overall, not too shabby. Huge kcal content, but many people don't eat them all the time. I'd only have them maybe 2-4 times a year.

    French toast with a fry is heaven. In fact I may make some now.

    I like sausages and eggs and rashers but the rest no thanks

    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.

    Fidelmas is dynamite. I have driven from cabra to dunshauglin for it a few time but Clarks in Cabra is better.

    I have to say, the large breakie there is a vulgar amount of food!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Remmy


    Also soda bread fried in the juices of the fry at the very end. nom

    Not a big fan of a fry up tbh. Most I'd have would be a bacon and egg sambo.
    Do get a fierce craving every so often for kedgeree though
