I had one or two of those canned fry-ups when I was at uni.

They are not good. Even when hungover.

Great when fishing though. I used to get the Full Monty ones, open the top and stick it straight on the trangier stove. Beautiful.

I'd sooner eat the fishing bait. The only thing I can think of which is as bad is the Stag chilli in a can.

Never seen Fray Bentos pie in a can?

What can only be described as Winalot wrapped in pastry and sealed in a tin.

Those Fray Bentos pies are my guiltiest of guilty pleasures.

Steak & Vegetable, tin of beans, tin of new potatoes.....

Ye are some sick men. My body would shut down in protest if I even dreamt of eating that sh*te.

English think bacon should be salted to sh!t and their grandiose sausage types like cumberland are horrible. Galtee and Denny beat any British brands hands down

Probably 2 of the worst brands of sausages in Ireland

Their sausages aren't anywhere near as good though
Cant bate the aul superquinn sausies
ps: beans have no place in breakfast

Yes, you can. Hicks, Paul Rankin and Tesco Finest are just 3 off the top of my head that are better, and that is before I mention butcher sausages.
Superquinn sausages, just like that other overrated brand, Tayto, are just loved by some simply because they are Irish.

Haven't had one of them in years. They weren't too bad that I can remember, though I did eat some crap when I was growing up, those frozen pizzas that cost 50p or whatever from Quinnsworth.

Tesco finest are absolutely gash, nothing fine about them at all. And Hicks are ok but still definitely inferior taste-wise to Superquinns.
Saying 'butcher sausages' is like saying 'shop meat', what butcher, and where do these butchers get this hallowed sausage meat?
The butcher by me has brutal sausages.

King are a better crisp than Tayto though, I'll give your post that.

Not living in Ireland, but when living there, O'Gormans in Ranelagh (butcher no longer exists), and O' Donovans in Rathgar would be two places I can remember.

Superquinn/Supervalue are just bland. They shrink by about 50% when cooked and I feel they are overrated compared to other sausages I have eaten.

I'm telling you goys, If i was going to be eating fry's it better be a boutique, handmade fry that came from artisan pigs and served with a good pot of loose assam tea leaves that were curated by a food celebrity, none your bagged floor sweepings that people in this country seem to love

If you said Olhausen or superquinn then fair enough, but those two?

No. Just no.

You're probably right. Superquinn are a step above. Not sure about Olhausen though
