Full Irish Breakfast:

fortwilliam

Proper cumberland sausage x2

Smoked thick rasher x2

3 slices of Clonakilty black pudding

Serving of Heinz baked beanz

Fried egg

Brown bread sliced pan toast with butter & jam

Heinz tomato sauce

Lucozade

Done and dusted.

Emblematic

Should be Chef tomato ketchup not Heinz.

Jim_Hodge

By definition it's not a Full IRISH if you include Cumberland sausage.

As for having Lucozade with it....enough said.

Each to their own, proper Irish fry for me is frying steak mushrooms egg bacon x2 pork sausages x3 half a soda 2 potato breads and 1 maybe 2 crumpets and either HP or daddys sauce and black coffee. The meat section has to be from the local butchers and the eggs must be free range. Soda and potato bread from the bakers, crumpets doesn't matter much because the secret to a good fried crumpet/pancake is giving it a slightly over-cooking by 10-20 seconds.

Egg cold pan cold oil crack the egg and let it get to cooking temp from the hob used for the main ingredients, spoon the oil over the yolk and once it ready for turning flip it over and just give it 30 seconds then off the hob. Pat the lot dry with kitchen towel. Thats more of a full fry saturday dinner, fry breakfast is a full bacon n egg soda.

+1 on a Cumberland sausage not belonging in an IRISH breakfast.

(Hint: the clue is in the name).

It also requires tea or coffee (either are acceptable). Soft drinks DO NOT belong with any fried breakfast.

I'd also add fried or grilled mushrooms, and some hash browns for personal preference.

Jumbo sausages, white puddings, hash browns, bachelor baked beans, fried onions, fried mushrooms, fried tomatoes, chef ketchup, toast, tea, and orange juice 🥰 for a breakfast roll it's sausages, white puddings and hash browns with ketchup, tea and OJ with pulp which I had this morning 🥰 rashers are too much work trying to take the fat off them and I know you can get lean rashers but I'm just not that bothered

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

2 x black puddings, 2 x white.

Fried tomatoes (not a fan of them myself, but I know some are)

**** yer lucozade - hot steaming mug of tea, splash of milk, one sugar.

I remeber Bewley's used to substtiute items - if you didn't want something, they'd give you an extra of something else.

rtron

There's something about if there's beans it becomes an English breakfast?

In any case I like beans with the breakfast.

Strumms

Jumbo sausages from my local butcher x 2

black pudding x1

white pudding x1

rashers x2

toast x2

small portion of beans

Portion of fried mushrooms

hash browns / potato waffles x2

i could go for this right now…. It be dinner time… I can’t recall if I have sausages left though….I ‘think’ I might have… wait, I’ll be back… 😋

bigroad

Kearns sausages,bacon,black pudding,mushrooms,fry eggs,pork chop with a few chips,toast with plenty of butter, tomatoes,chef brown sauce.

Orange juice to start with a pot of strong tea.to finish.

And a large cream donut for afters.

Guildenstern

Every country has this as their own. Here, it is the full Irish, in Belfast, the Ulster Fry. In London, they gave me the full English.

Are their regional differences or is it basically the same everywhere?

I think it's really down to personal choice.

But a Full English must have lashings and lashings of beans.

Eoinbmw

Im offended by Heinz baked beans!

Bachelors have some flavour at least!

kneemos

Beans are for an evening fry. Not right for breakfast.

They're just a cheap filler anyway.

Beans are fücking rank and have no place in a fry.

blade1

Unless any of those mentioned come with a shītload of chips I'd need 2 to keep me going

You wouldn't think it to look at me but I've a savage appetite.

nachouser

If you're having jam and lucozade with your fry, I'd say your next meal is probably heroin.

Galwayguy35

Thats a very unhealthy breakfast.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120596996#Comment_120596996

is it a fried breakfast if the items are in a baguette?

cos lad in fairness a cold lucozade with a breakfast roll is pure daycent

Riddle101

Nothing beats a good cup of tea or coffee after a nice fry. Not sure about Lucozade though.

StupidLikeAFox

Don't forget the large glass of gaviscon on the side

Fathom

Are Heinz baked beans English? For an Irish breakfast? How about Batchelors for authenticity?

Grayson

I hate beans, mushrooms and fried eggs. So I have the eggs scrambled and have a plate full of meat :)

Furze99

I thought a big mug of strong tay would be de rigeur?

Oh and carry a few stents in the wallet.

There ya go, I've never tried but I'd make a good attempt at that

randd1

Rashers, 3 sausages, black pudding, white pudding, fried egg, fried tomato, sautéed mushrooms, a few toast, real butter, scrambled egg or beans on the side as an extra (I go for the scrambled egg). Orange juice or milk to wash it down.

You'd be sorted for the day.

Clonakilty anything - disgusting rubbish.If,needing jam on toast then not eating enough meat.Cumberland recipe not Irish

EmmetSpiceland

Never understood the need to pepper a breakfast fry plate with fruit & veg or, even, childish ketchup.

Should be all about the meat, and eggs, with a bit of brown sauce.

Wouldn't be sold on mushrooms either.

Is it okay to pepper it with pepper? 😜

Yes, a thousand times. Heinz is muck. Wouldn’t touch their ketchup or beans. Bachelors every time.

Cant beat an Ulster fry

I'd love to try a challenge like that but I'm too fussy about certain things. I don't eat mushrooms, any version of egg, tomatoes, or steak, but I'd happily take substitutions. No tea or coffee either, but I'd be happy with orange juice or water.

TagoMago

For the sausages, rashers and pudding I'd go for Kelly's, definitely the best this country has to offer.

Also, if it's going to be traditional would boxty not need to be included?

donegal_man

2 Sausages, 2 eggs, 2 rashers, 1 black pudding, 1 white pudding, fried mushrooms, fried potatoes, soda bread with real butter and plenty strong tea.

Baba Yaga

feckin starving now...wheres the frying pan...?

CaboRoig

Keep it simple. Couple of sausages, couple of rashers, black and white pudding and a fried egg. Tea, toast, butter and a jar of mustard must also be available.

Hooked

Two eggs two rasher two sausage two bacon two puddins one black and white

All stacked like a tower on top of each other and rowwllled up good and tight!

Doc07

One of the last bastions of a good fry in Dublin City closed last year , Gerry’s RIP

His big fry was ;3-4 small sausages , 3 bacon, B&w puddings , 2 eggs, tomato, beans, toast, tea or coffee and all under a tenner. Proper butcher sausage and bacon although pudding was never great. God I loved that place

My home cooked weekend favorite every couple months would be; sausage , bacon, b&w pudding, fried eggs, fried mushrooms and few little tomatoes, beans, potato cake, toast or homemade bread rolls, fresh OJ and loads of good coffee and Barry’s or Lyons tea.

Must try the challenge in Cork someday!

Fancy schmancy you!!!

I'll be honest, all the tinned beans taste the same to me, so I don't really care which brand goes on my fry. At home it's supermarket own brand.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120599278#Comment_120599278

In Cork, would that be Tony's?

Grilled tomatoes are essential for me; the tanginess cuts through the oil.

And Lea & Perrins. Or an Irish Wooster sauce, like Terra Ignus.

Not entirely Irish but here goes

2 good quality sausages, preferably from the butcher's or Dunnes Stores Simply Better range sausages

3 slices of Truly Irish Black Pudding

2 good quality smoked rashers

Scrambled or fried egg

Sauteed mushrooms

Heinz Beanz (I prefer the sauce to the Bachelor's beans. Bachelor's reduced sugar baked beans are particularly rank)

A dollop of spicy Polish ketchup

2 slices of wholegrain toast

A big mug of tae

I'm not a fan of fried tomato. I like hash browns but they don't agree with my stomach.

brokenbad

Ideal Full Irish for me......

2 x Denny Jumbo Sausages

2 x Galtee Traditional Rashers

1 x Portion of Fried Mushrooms

1 x Fried Egg (Runny)

1 x Hash Brown

1 x Clonakilty Black Pudding

1 x Clonakilty White Pudding

1 x Portion Bachelors Beans

1 x Large Mug of Tay

2 x Slices of White Toast/ butter

Chef Ketchup

MOR316

Who has a Lucozade with a full Irish?

Good Jesus...

Greyfox

Got to be 3 sausages, 2 rashers, 2 while pudding, 2 soft eggs on birds eye waffles and tea and toast. Beans kinda ruin a fry and those who add in a fried tomato should be shot

Water John

Sausages have to be 80% + pork meat. Either Truly Irish or De Roiste's Ballymakeera.

Best rashers around are Dunnes Simply Better range.

Puddings would be either McCarthy's Kanturk or De Roiste.

A boiled left over potato, sliced and fried with a shake of salt.

Love the sauteed mushrooms but leave the fried tomato out.

Always a fried egg or two, not fussy.

Our family get together meal is usually breakfast, out or at home.

Years ago there was a small Italian place on Thomas Street called Piedescalso that used to serve the most amazing butter beans with a tomato sauce. They were incredible. Variety Jones is there now, I keep meaning to get my sh*t together and try book a table to check it out.

Not really fry related, but god those beans were amazing.

Jeez, you can't compare Dunnes Rashers with decent cured bacon from your local butcher's shop.
