irish or english fry up?

r3nu4l, get yourself down to London for the finest sausages in the world at Biggles (by Bond street). http://www.ebiggles.co.uk/range.asp

Irish sausages taste different to English 'cos they are both made from different crap.

Saying that Irish sausages are tasty can get you a ban in the Cooking forum

Also, English sausages are rank, even the tesco finest one with Apple in them, Irish sausages ftw!

How can you say that. Irish sausages are awful things. I regularly bring sausages over and freeze then because the ones the supermarkets sell here are so bad. Dunnes finest ones aren't too bad but the Tesco finest ones are nothinglike the sausages you would get in Tescos in England.

As for Denny gold label sausages, my arse :mad:

Had square sausage in Edinburgh a few months ago. It is indeed very odd :pac:

well your first problem is buying them in the supermarket,support your local butcher and shop there.Oh and fried soda bread with the brekkie is teh best thing evor.

In terms of supermarket sausages, Superquinn are actually very decent - as well as their burgers which are dirt cheap. If you live outside of Dublin/Cork/Limerick/Galway city anyway you should be able to track down 'proper' sausages.

Also, did no one pick up on the 'Welsh' Breakfast? Poor bastids...

The traditional Welsh breakfast include laverbread, a seaweed purée which is mixed with oatmeal, which is formed into patties and fried in bacon fat. Cockles are also often eaten

Rashers, sausages, eggs, black and white pudding, tea and toast, maybe with a few beans. That is the finest breakfast. Mushrooms are evil, and tomatoes have no business near a fryup. Fruit on a breakfast, why the hell would you?

I totally agree, unfortunately i tend to shop on sundays or late at night though. mind you, I do get a few sausages from Hicks in Dun Laogahire whenever I can. They do some great stuff in there.

Full English has everything the irish has with the addition of baked beans and chips and possibly fried bread although u rarely get it

English breakfast > irish breakfast

Silenceisbliss · 19-08-2008 11:01AM

no, ya need beans in a fry-up IMO.

my fry consists of:
eggs, rashers, sausages, hashbrowns, tomatoes, muchrooms, beans, one of each pudding, toast, and a glass of OJ. YUMMERS!!!!

Now thats a mighty HORSE of a feed!

YES THEY DO!!! tomatoes give that nice succulence to the whole thing, else the plate is a bit too dry. TOMATOES FTW

That's my impression of the difference too. In England i remember you'd often get a second egg as standard. Here you have to ask for it. But chips?

Remember the all day breakfasts in Bewleys (when Bewleys was Bewleys)? Those sausages were terrible, but i always had at least 3 of them!

i love some black puddings, the ones with plenty of stuff in them and not just the blood sausage type. Clonakilty or Shaws FTW!

You have been brainwashed by the tomato munching brigade. I'll pray to the god of breakfast (Pigthor is his name) for you to see the light.

Help him Pigthor!!!! Banish the evil tomaotes. He will be putting garnish on the fryup next.

meditraitor · 19-08-2008 11:21AM

Proper fry

Sausages(Cumberland for english)

Eggs (fried/scrambled/poached)

Rashers

Toast

Tea

after that its up to you

Beans,pudding,fried potatoes,waffles,chips,fried tomato,mushrooms,spice burger and pancakes for our american cousins.

Im starving now:D

ScumLord · 19-08-2008 11:43AM

You can't get a good breakfast in England that's the difference. They have horrible grey sausages, and black pud that looks and tastes like fried play do. You can't get good rashers anywhere any more (eating out I mean) and their tea is piss poor.

The best way to enjoy a fry is at home where you can get proper ingredients.

Sausages, Black & White pud (that's crumbles apart), big thick rashers, shrooms, fried onion, hash browns (or some form of potato) maybe a little beans, NO CHICKEN PERIODS!

B00MSTICK · 19-08-2008 12:13PM

Now look what you made me do! *puts sausages on*

Ideal fry:
Eggs (whatever way you fancy, but it is a fry, so fried is the obvious choice)
Sausages (Rudds if you can get them)
B&W Pudding (Clonakilty)
Rashers (Hickory smoked a fave atm)
Tomato, if you're making a sambo or for mopping up with toast purpose
Hash browns/fried potato
Scoop of beans
Toast with lashings of butter

All this talk about brekkie makes me hungry!

Ah is it just me or is breakfast cheaper in the UK than in Ireland? Like Irish brekkie all the way but they set you back 14.50 :O

I thought we have small sausages and the british ones are bigger.

Not so. I think Kinsey did a study and he reckoned that nations with imperial world conquering ambitions were usually trying to compensate for something.

dtwhaler · 19-08-2008 12:32PM

How come no-one has mentioned Irn Bru as part of the Scottish Breakfast. Ideal cure for any hangover

MIN2511 · 19-08-2008 12:41PM

First thing me thinks of is the Colin Farrel movie In Brughes?

Steve_o · 19-08-2008 12:44PM

I've heard enough....

*Heads to the shop for Brekkie Roll*

You can get a hell of a full irish in a place in Galway called O Riordans for 9 euro. Would never spend 14.50euro on one.

matrim · 19-08-2008 01:05PM

My fry would be

Sausages, Rashers, Egg, Black and White pudding, Hash Browns (or waffles or fried potatoes), Toast, Beans and Tea.

That's near Brusshels isn't it?

loyatemu · 19-08-2008 02:45PM

I don't often agree with anything they do in Norn Iron, but potato bread FTW!

as for Superquinn sausages - they have MSG in them = instant fail.
