    Bring it on! Seriously though,someone recommended it too me and honestly it's powerful stuff.
    I must get some of your Kanturk stuff to compare, but it would want to be mighty stuff to beat Kelly's black pudding.

    Ive added pudding to finish it properly but it can give me heartburn. Eggs and Rashers never do! Toasted brown bread and tea to go with it.

    I eat a variation thereof most mornings

    My dad used to make dinner somedays and often produced beans and peas on the same plate. Often beside each other where the sauce from the beans would cover the peas.
    Beans, spuds, sausages and gravy was another one. Beans and gravy isn't very nice.

    For those saying no to tomatoes in a fry, you don't have to cook them. Cut them up into fine slices, then salt and pepper them, drizzle with a little olive oil and then garniai with basil and voila.

    Ha ha. Yeah right. Ha.

    Jesus H. Christ. You need a slap in the face with a big chub of Clonakilty if you think that sheite has any place in an Irish Fry. FFS.

    If you grill the slowly with salt pepper and a bit of died basil until they're nice and caramelized on top...

    Some bacon curls up on the frying pan. Put it on the base of the grill pan, with the grill insert (if that's what it's called) upside down on top. That keeps it nice and straight. The sausages and puddings go on top.

    This is genius, I always grill cos you can get the rashers crispier ..

    No potato of any kind for me, I love mushrooms but done in a pot with garlic, salt and black pepper, no oil or butter, the salt draws out the water from the mushrooms do you don't need oil, and they're just yum.

    I dont mind tomatoes in their right place such as in salads. But they have no place in a fry or on a burger.

    That’s a grill. I don’t know since I don’t cook myself a fryup very often but I always assumed the fry needed a frying pan for all cooked meats and the eggs. Or is that old fashioned.

    You may get with the times. This time next year it'll all have to be vegan anyway.

    As for the fry, very few no no's for me. I don't worry too much about authenticity. I always grill mine ( except the eggs obviously) to maintain some illusions of being slightly more healthy. I'd have grilled tomatoe (not tinned though, yuck) and hash browns at times, beans too sometimes. Clonakily black pudding is my fave. Very rarely go all out now though, find the whole shebang a bit too much, sadly.

    It's called a "grill up" if you're eating it after midday when you're gone into lunch territory. It's a "fry up" before midday.

    It's a fry. There's no 'up' unless you're English and also call all dinners 'a roast'.

    I fry the eggs and onions, grill the meat. Just find it tastier that way. Also all the ****e that comes out of the rashers and sausages ruins the pan for frying an egg on

    You need all the good stuff out of the rashers and sausages so you can tip the beans into it to heat them up.

    My ideal Irish fry has spiced sausage patties (like the ones that come in an egg mcmuffin). Lots of crispy streaky bacon. Drizzles of maple syrup. A large stack of pancakes with blueberries and cream. 2 eggs sunny side up. Blood sausage and a side of French toast.


    Delicious.

    Controversial but my fav is the vegetarian fry our local Deli has. Not a veggie but not a fan of the fry meats.
    Fried egg, hash browns, tomato, beans, mushrooms with homemade brown bread. The best.

    You are no more than a rank amateur. The very best of fried eggs are prepared using the fat from rashers and sausages, with a bit of real butter to keep things dripping.

    Next you'll be telling me coconut oil is a good alternative to dead pig grease.

    Damned hippies.
