    No sausages?

    Yep.

    I can take them or leave them, me.

    If it's a high quality sausage I'll chow away otherwise meh.

    Yes to beans!
    No to mushrooms!
    Shove your tomato up your hoop!

    Was staying in a hotel for a wedding once before and they had little potato cubes (I'm sure there's a fancy name for them) there also at the breakfast 'buffet'....a welcome addition!

    Couldn't agree more, very English idea of a fry up.

    No sausages? That's not a fry up, that's bacon and eggs.

    Given that Irish 'sausages' are worse than Hitler, Chuck has the right of it.

    Mushrooms, hash browns and beans are all the work of the devil and shouldn't be on the same plate as a decent Oirish fry up.

    You need good quality sausages (Superquinn or Clonakilty), thick smoked bacon, white and/or black pudding, eggs (done in any way one chooses - my preference being poached) and grilled tomato (with lots of pepper) with either toast or fried homemade brown or soda bread. A heart attack on a plate but nothing as tasty if you've been out of the country for a while! :pac:

    Or chips. Chips are strictly a no no. Only places that serve poor produce serve chips with their fry, in an attempt to over compensate.

    I got a full Irish in a cafe once that came with chips. Not only were they over-compensating for the poor quality of the breakfast, they were actually trying to conceal the poor quality of the breakfast as when the plate arrived, all I could see was a mountain of chips.

    I had to ask where my breakfast was, to which I was told, "under the chips".

    I remember a fry up I got at a B&B near the University in Cork about 5 years ago. 2 x Jumbo Sausages, 3 x Thick Cut Rashers, 2 x White Pudding, 2 x Black Pudding (the puddings were huge), 1 x fried egg, 1 x small side bowl with Scrambled Egg, 1 x small side bowl with beans, 1 x small side bowl with mushrooms, 4 x brown bread, 4 x toast and big pot of Tay.

    Took up the full table and since I was on my own, holy shít, I swear I didn't know whether to eat it or climb it :(

    There seemed to be a few builders staying there to so maybe it was a Celtic tiger breakfast that has gone by the wayside now. Done me for the day anyway and was tasty and heart attac-tasic.

    Kearneys sausages in Carlow.
    Nolans sausages in Kilcullen.

    The finest sausages known to mankind.

    Fried eggs hard fried not runny (ugh) sausage , bacon (no fat) one black pudding one white pudding hash brown and maybe a few beans, and if im feeling up to it ill cook a bit of french toast:-)

    these cafes that think throwing in fried mushroom and half a tomato can replace the hash brown need to be shot

    hubby and i went to a cafe before a saturday football drinkin session one lunch time, 8.50 for a breakfast so expecting it to be good size. One fried egg, 2 sausages, 2 pudding and one rasher with burnt toast and one cup of tea.

    Beans ruin it, the sauce gets everywhere, no beans!

    Other than that, 2 good quality sausage, 2 rasher, runny egg, 1 black,1 white and a bundle of toast with real butter. All washed down with a nice cold beverage, my personal preference is a can of coke.

    I am going to have a hunger busting fry. I am male and have the metabolism many would die for. Might even have a round two. Hard luck, woman.

    Oh the hash browns are gorgeous, my favourite part! No beans though, nice with mashed potatoes, not with a fry.

    Ok now Im hungry and it's only 10am!!!

    I;m a porridge person too, nothing like it.
    However I do have a fry on these days and don't feel a bit guilty

    Christmas morning
    Easter morning
    the Morning I go on holidays (airport fry)
    First morning of having visitors

    Thats about it - can go for months without one, but when I have one, I flipping love it
