THe Breakfast roll

RobYourBuilder

Normally I'm a weetabix kinda guy. I scooped up a brekkie role this morning. No sauce, just drizzle on some salt. More salt says she. More salt.

It's sexual.

I love mushrooms on a roll with the dough scooped out. I always feel really embarrassed asking for that but jaysus -onrale

Its a breakfast bap over here. They're so funny with their quirky little ways

RobYourBuilder

Do they do that, lex? Sounds serious.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Yep! They look at yoi as if you have ten heads but if you can brazen out the shame it's completely worth it

RobYourBuilder

Sausage, two bloods, a few shots of tasher in there. There's hash browns going. Lob one or two in. But mushrooms? Are they fresh, Lex?

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

They're just the fried ones at the deli. Some shrooms

seamusk84

Scoop the bread out....I like that, must try it.
Yeah no egg for me and leave the butter out too, just a bit of red sauce. Also if you have a brown roll, even better!

I'm a big man - 6'2 - and if you get an Irish mammy working in a shop to make you a breakfast roll, it could keep you going til dinner time. There's a lovely old dear in my local shop who's either trying to kill me or thinks I need extra feeding but she packs in the fillings the very rare time I get one.

She packs in the extra rasher and the extra sausage and the extra hash brown. I'd say the full daily calorie intake there in one go. She smiles sweetly as she sends me one big, greasy breakfast closer to a heart attack.

Vile things. A cheap and stodgy roll filled with even cheaper ingredients. Withered looking sausages that have been under lights since they were heated up in an oven 5 hours earlier. Pudding without any of the flavour that makes good black pudding such a beautiful occasional treat. Then drown it in sugary sauce and eat while walking. Yuck.

Do you have them for lunch or dinner?

If you're buying a breakfast roll 5 hours into the day it's time to start going to bed earlier

Cafe ones do be very nice, though I agree with you on the convient store ones .

You have been going to the wrong place, go somewhere with a seat, the experience will change

If you have been up all night, then the so-called "breakfast" roll is actually supper, breakfast and lunch all amalgamated into one feast of food. Mop it up, lick the drips.

I don't like breakfast rolls. However, I do like to sit down to a full Trucker's Special that'd capsize a bull-elephant.

Heading off many years ago to matches in Thurles. Something similar to this was the order of the day followed by a day's consumption of stout. Nothing like it for soakage but, my God, how unhealthy was it? Top it off with a visit to a chipper at about midnight. Carnage to the body.

This.
A lot of grease enthusiasts,myself included,are wide to this trick.
I get my rolls at a nearby supervalue so usually there are three or four staff behind the counter.Most of them are early 20s and/or foreign and make a balls of the roll,sins like sausage on the bottom and eggs on the top etc, but there is one middle aged local woman who makes among the biggest and therefore best breakfast rolls in the country.She flattens the dough in with a spoon and stuffs them to the gills,yet only ever charges for the basic 3 items.
She always throws me a knowing grin when she's squeezing that fourth rasher or sausage in.I want one now

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

Love the things (too much probably). The more packed the better and either mustard or nothing. Ketchup shouldn't be let near a breakfast roll. That said most weekends I cook my own frys as its that bit nicer and I can have more stuff.

All the bits are already in the fridge for today's and tomorrow's frys so no rolls this weekend.

Manys the hungover Saturday or Sunday I've gotten a breakfast roll in the mid afternoon or got one after a weekend sleep in at 11am.

Unfollowing this thread cos I'm just getting irrationally angry that I haven't got a breakfast roll now

Irish excellence

regarding the mushroom roll, the polish have a thing called zapiekanka...lord latherin jaysus I'd horse one of them into me right now

CarrickMcJoe

Breakfast roll guy's just aren't the same anymore. 3 young bucks in front of me, dressed head to toe in Snickers gear ordering rolls but insisting on the fat being cut off the rashers and low fat spread on granary rolls.
Bloody wimps.

One food I miss from home. Tesco used to do them, but haven't seen them in a while now.

I know they're not that difficult to make (buttermilk flour and baking soda) but i can never get the time.

Filled soda (sausage, egg, bacon and tomato) in a slightly toasted soda with butter and brown sauce for breakfast.

Couldn't beat it with a big thorny one.

I HATE mushrooms in a breakfast roll. It turns it way too greasy for my liking.

Had to google it, but have to admit it looks delicious.

I love breakfast rolls in theory, but i make them myself now, just couldnt find anywhere that does them how i like them.

Occasionally I'll grab one from declans on Bolton St though, magic.

Oh god I want rashers and brown sauce so badly now!

Lucyfur

I think I'll go to the butchers and get proper saussies and proper rashers. I have fresh eggs....clonakilty pudding....maybe mushrooms sauted in garlic butter...nice fresh french baguette

And tea from a pot.

epesapart

what about 2 slices of white bread..think white....slightly toasted...2 grilled wrashers across some mosserella,a big fried forest musrhroom,with blood pudding on top...sauce up to yourself...and then a big cold beer...any takers? or am i mentally sick

I don't like ones you buy on deli counters but I do like ones made at home with soft white rolls, Kerrygold, Clonakilty White pudding, superquinn saussies, and a runny egg. Only delish.

Won't be having one of them for a while. Loada shyte.

fleet_admiral

Sausages, rashers, black pudding, hash browns, a couple of eggs and lashings of brown sauce.

But that's not a breakfast roll,its a rasher sambo,no matter how you dicky it up.I do like the idea of a beer with a fry though,reminds me of great drinking holidays with the lads along the Spanish Costas during my teens.In most places a pint of beer is/was included in the price of the breakfast

I'll also substitute the rashers with Aldi Black Forest ham - grills in very little time, great smoked bacon flavour & none of that weird white gloop emanating from it.

Un Croissant

Has to be a soft roll. Crispy rolls just ruin it.

Better yet, lob it all into regular white bread. That's the business.

Tearin It Up

Yum, yum, I'm only getting up now and have a craving for a breakfast roll. I'll make do with what I've got in the fridge, egg, pudding, mushroom sandwich. That can work?

Nothing better than a fully loaded breakfast bap from a greasy spoon!

In the UK they don't do rolls from the deli in supermarkets/petrol stations, it's weird. I remember picking up a roll and going to the deli in ASDA and asking the fella to pack it up with cocktail sausages and bacon, he looked at me like I had 2 heads. Also the same day I found out that to most of the world "sambo" is actually a racial slur and not a sandwich.
