Are fried tomatoes banned from being served with full Irish breakfast.

Fried tomato. mmmmmm

Don't have it too often though. They seems to soak up an awful lot of grease.

Or I'm just doing it wrong.

Sofiztikated · 13-05-2011 06:51PM

Don't know about anyone else, I just call it a fry.

But I'd have the potato bread instead of boxty, more bacon instead of the tomato, more bacon instead of the egg, more sausages instead of beans.

And some extra bacon, please.

And no fried tomatoes aren't banned. They are horrible though. Nasty little red creatures, from Mars originally I believe.

Fried potatoes? That's disgusting.

I love sautéed ones though.

You're really losing your edge. Whatever happened to the subtlety?

In fairness to KeithAFC, an Ulster fry and an Irish fry are different.

Yes, it's wikipedia but nobody is going to invent information on a page like this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_breakfast

So if it was a question on the difference and that's how I read it, I don't see the problem. And now the lad has a warning from a mod

The best fry I have had is in a Cafe in Donegal (not in N Ireland but still part of Ulster for those who still dont quite get it :rolleyes:). They call it 'The Big Breakfast'

2 sausage, 2 bacon, fried egg, 2 hash browns, beans, fried potato, toast, tea, and orange juice. Some tattie or soda bread would make it the perfect fry.

Micky Dolenz · 13-05-2011 07:01PM

How in God's name did this turn into a NI debate? Rhetorical question.

No more please.

SirenX · 13-05-2011 07:02PM

Fried tomatoes do not belong in a fry. End of.

fried tomatoes are only good in a fry if one uses the correct terms while cooking

Take that back.

Bacon can solve the worlds problems! Hungry? Bacon Sammidge. Hungover? Bacon Sammidge. Chymadia? Bacon Sammidge. It's science.

Well, the rest of the thread seems to hinge on description rather than content...

I'm partial to a fried tomato myself, but that's fightin' talk.

Sauteed (la-di-fcuking-da) potatoes are thinly sliced raw potatoes fried.

Fried spuds (delish) are last night's leftover boiled spuds chopped into chunks and fried.

barone · 13-05-2011 08:04PM

Do you know what’s the business, and you’d never think so? Tinned (skinned) tomatoes with a fry-up. Had it once in London years ago and it was the dog’s dangly bits. Have never being able to reproduce the experience on home turf though.

There's an image.

On a happier note, bacon yes please.

Liam Byrne · 13-05-2011 09:13PM

Fried tomatoes are yuk, and putting ketchup on a fry is sacrilege!

Raw cherry tomatoes maybe, but not for brekkie.

Agreed! But for some reason, acceptable in a b/f roll. Don't know why! Them's the rules.

Was this a diner betwen Derry and Letterkenny by any chance. That place is lovely.

Teyla Emmagan · 13-05-2011 09:27PM

I'm frickin starving reading this.

As long as there are no beans on my fry I'm happy. Beans are utterly wrong on all conceivable counts.

The London canned tomatoes come from a big industrial-sized drum thing, and I think that means they keep their shape and texture a bit more.

It's a hot ball of fun & tasty juice.

Try these out, South Carolina tradition, a really interesting variation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_green_tomatoes_%28food%29

Pretty damn filling, actually. And full of flavor. I usually call 2 slices breakfast.

Jaysus no! Wouldn't ruin a roll with it either!

Ketchup is for hot dogs or McDonald's-style fries, nothing more.

No, this was in Donegal Town, but I have an idea of where you're thinking.

Tar.Aldarion · 13-05-2011 10:02PM

the fry jsut doesn't count without the beans, so many places don't add something so cheap?

It's mad how a simple question about fried tomatoes can quickly change.

Its not mad at all, its simply inevitable when a certain poster decides to grace us with his presence and drag every ****ing thread he posts in in a certain direction.

That Was A Thought that just occurred to me but I could be wrong. 10 quid says we'd still be talking about breakfasts not borders if he hadn't shown up.
