    Just had an unhealthy fry for lunch. Full now for a few hours.

    Hate it when the rind isn’t crisp. Nothing worse than that floury, whitish, jelly is stuck to a “leathered” piece of bacon.

    You should be able to tear it off and eat it, not have it fall apart in your hand.

    That looks good. Everything cooked perfectly. Get rid of the sauce and replace half the beans with 2 hash browns and an extra egg and you're sorted!

    Hash browns are handy to do at home. Bag of them in the freezer and throw them in the oven. Not as good as the deep fried ones you get out, but nice all the same.

    i say cooked breakfast as we only fry the eggs everything else is grilled or more recently cooked in the air fryer.

    My Mrs bought an airfryer. The dry wrinkly sausages that come out of it make me sad.
    I am like Mrs Doyle with her tea maker. Just waiting on an opportunity to destroy it.

    Are you kidding?

    Look at that poor excuse for white pudding, the dehydrated sausages, the “leathered” bacon, the excessive serving of vile beans and, to top it all off, the incredibly poor placement of the brown sauce. Why put it there? Now it’s just mixed in with the bean sauce.

    That’s the sort of muck you’d get in Heuston station or a dreadful Kylemore “cafe”. A “hot lamp” fry.

    Beans do not belong anywhere near a fry. Simple.

    Actually there was 2 hash browns and 2 extra eggs but I had em scoffed before I took the pic :)

    Yes, I wish I could do crispy rashers but always make a balls of it.

    I disagree. Plenty baked beans and especially nice covered in YR sauce.

    You are talking out your arse. The sausages were lovely, maybe I slightly overcooked them but they were not dehyrdated. and the puddings were all I could get in tesco yesterday but were fine. Can't do crispy bacon on the electric hob I have. As for the brown sauce, that's the idea, you mix it with the bean sauce. Moron.

    May be use a larger frying pan and heat it up well before frying the rashers?

    Sir , take that comment back.
    Beans should never be near a fry.Beans only go with toast , I.e. beans on toast.

    No, that's an English fry especially with YR sauce.

    Chef for me all the way.

    Beans are not fried, so don't belong on a fry. Simple rule.

    I like both but HP or YR are my favorite. I'd even eat a catering sized tin baked beans cold out of the tin if it had a half bottle YR dumped into.

    Is hair now mandatory in a good fry, or is it a hairline crack on the plate.

    Whoa, no need to start throwing personal insults around just because you made a fry that only a, long haul, trucker could enjoy. The kind “served up” on a, late night, ferry crossing.

    I believe a central “tenet” of this site is to attack the post and not the poster. Please adhere to this in future, you’re letting yourself down. Just like your fry.

    I don't believe it's the fat that is bad, it's the processed meat. What the hell is rusk anyway!?!

    Regarding a poached egg, which is a beautiful thing in itself, if one is being health conscious there is no point in ordering a poached egg and then slathering yer toast in butter.

    I thought we had moved past people thinking butter is the enemy. The bread is the worst part of this. Poached eggs wouldn’t be much healthier than a fried egg. Egg is wonderful in all forms, a little wonderfood. And fat is not the enemy in small amounts. Some people just prefer poached to fried.

    Aye. The only way I cook sausages is fried. Grilling and oven-roasting turn them shrivelled and apparently so does airfrying. In the pan, they stay plump. I’m not the biggest fan of sossies but if I’m having them, it has to be fried all the way. And you don’t even need to use much oil. A teaspoon is enough. And my hubs LOVES sossies and feels the same: fried or nothing.

    Wow, couldn’t disagree more. The airfryer is the best thing I’ve ever bought for the kitchen by a distance. It’s used pretty much everyday and loads of stuff we used to do in the oven/grill now goes in the airfryer as it’s makes a better job and is faster.

    I think it makes a savage job out of a breakfast too (incl sausages don’t find them dry at all) and is so handy as you can stick it on, turn things once and no other handling or watching.

    Only fault I’d have it’s it’s size which is helped a little as I bought a shelf for inside it but I’d like one 3 times the size and when this one packs it in I’ll buy the biggest one available.

    She uses it every day too more is the pity. Wrinkly sausages, rotten chips.

    If this keeps on I may even need to start cooking myself.

    You may find that the people you are cooking for are not being entirely truthful.
    Actually are you my wife?

    My breakfast was 2 rashers, 3 sausages, black and white pudding and 2 poached eggs.
    It was maybe unhealthy but so delicious I might have the same again for my tea.
    No such a thing as a healthy death anyway.

    I actually like sausages cooked in the oven, I like how the skin crisps. The rare time I make a fry, I do the sausages separately in the oven, pudding and bacon in the pan.

    Beans and a fry would be akin to expecting Mayo to win the All Ireland or your wife wanting to go fishing with you.

    I stand 100% behind my statement regarding the imperative presence of beans to complete the perfect fry.

    Ps, lets not get silly now, Mayo will never win the All-Ireland and one sure way of ruining a good fishing trip is to bring the wife along with you!

    Anyone get crippling stomach pains from Clonakilty, Rudds, Shaw types pudding? Love them but have to avoid them.



    Hate the cheaper Denny Galtee puddings.

    Personally, I think there is no place for beans in a good fry. Taking over the plate messing up the taste

    There’s something desperately wrong with people who like beans with a fry. Or like beans in general.
    Even more perverse than people who like those tasteless triangle hash brown yokes that have creeped onto the fry plate in the past 15 years. Cheap auld shïte designed to bulk up the meal.

    Kelly’s pudding from Newport, Co. Mayo is lovely stuff.
