    mmmm, farls.

    I had 2 soda farls with smoked rashers on them and real butter. For about 5 minutes I was the happiest man in the world.

    Rashers on a farl? Not sure I approve.

    Farls need butter and jam.

    These southerners don't know what they're missing on the farl front.

    We have Farls here, how dare you!

    I like mine with melted cheese, for what it's worth.

    We used to always get Irwin's, I think, or Ormo. Not Paul Rankins though, they're.... wait for it..... rank!

    Drools.

    Farls with plenty of proper rashers, and a pile of butter melting in between.

    YUM

    Like a big stack of rashers, not a couple of miserly ones that you have to hunt down.

    I've never tried rashers on farls, am I missing out?

    Where do we stand on smoked rashers?

    The devil's work, say I.

    Ok. What are farls?

    And smoked rashers are still bacon so therefore are still delicious.

    It's cooked in a pan / griddle instead of an oven. Buttermilk, baking soda and flour all you need.

    I just like rashers really.

    They're like a really soft soda bread, I could never figure out how they managed to keep them soft, but now I know.







    *hides shame at revealing I've only had shop bought.

    It's what makes nordies the hardy breed they are.

    Fancy dan southerners raised on their posh baguettes and bagels while we ate farls, potato bread and belfast baps.

    Farls are bread? What's so special about them?

    I should point out, I've never had the Irish obsession with bread. I usually don't have toast with my fry ups.

    Now potato bread sounds interesting. Is that like hash browns?

    They are a delicious concoction of soft gorgeousness unlike any other bread you may eat.

    I had the best of both worlds, I'm as comfortable in a fancy restaurant with sourdough and bruschetta as I am at home with a big dirty slice of potato bread with fried eggs on top.

    Actually, we used to get Kingsmill soft baps when we'd go to visit my granny and you couldn't get them here so we'd fill the boot with them before we came home. Simpler times :p

    NO!

    It's bread with potato in it in like a puree form. I dunno how to describe it really, there's bread with potato in it and it's nice.

    It's also known as fadge. So if anyone ever asks if you'd like a bit of fadge they aren't offering to sleep with you, but whether or not you want some potato bread.

    They're mashed potatoes and flour mixed into a dough and fried.

    You can "dry fry" them in flour, which makes them like the ones you buy in the shop, I think it helps them keep longer too.

    Then when you want to eat them you fry them in butter and throw a fried egg on top and then you sit back and feel your arteries harden. Bliss.

    Ah! I've had those. They're tasty. Yeah I'd definitely have those with a fry instead of toast or farls.

    And hash browns are tasty!!

    Sodas are also dry fried with flour, not oil or butter. Until you want to eat them, then you fry them again in the butter.

    Also known as potato bread.

    All said, my home made potato, onion, paprika and mozzarella hash browns trump farls I'm afraid.

    Also I find farls have a tendency to pass to touch. Wait, sorry that's earls...!
