Should be Chef tomato ketchup not Heinz.

Jim_Hodge · 14-05-2023 06:56PM

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 · 14-05-2023 07:24PM

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.

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

In any case I like beans with the breakfast.

Strumms · 14-05-2023 07:29PM

Jumbo sausages from my local butcher x 2

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 · 14-05-2023 07:41PM

Im offended by Heinz baked beans!

Bachelors have some flavour at least!

kneemos · 14-05-2023 07:49PM

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

They're just a cheap filler anyway.

14-05-2023 08:15PM

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

blade1 · 14-05-2023 08:16PM

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 · 14-05-2023 08:33PM

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

Galwayguy35 · 14-05-2023 08:35PM

Thats a very unhealthy breakfast.

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 · 15-05-2023 12:21AM

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

StupidLikeAFox · 15-05-2023 02:00AM

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

Fathom · 15-05-2023 02:44AM

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

Grayson · 15-05-2023 06:31AM

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

Furze99 · 15-05-2023 08:59AM

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 · 15-05-2023 09:34AM

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.
