    What should not be in a good ol fashioned fry?
    The other half insists on mushrooms but those slimy feckers have no place in my opinion.
    I also think beans can gtfo.

    Liver in a bit if flour.

    Also fried mushrooms and fried bread. Should also use lard instead if oil / butter

    Hash browns. A serious no no for authenticity.

    For me a real Irish fry should include: Back rashers, sausages, black and white pudding, mushrooms, fried tomatoes, 2 fried eggs and fried potatoes. Accompanied by hapes of toast and a bucket of tay.

    I prefer a northy one. What they lack in pudding they make up for in bread.

    Tomatoes for me too. Don't understand those who say beans. Beans are the glue that hold a good fry together. Without them it's just far too dry. Mushrooms also are awesome

    Sausage, rasher, eggs, liver, black and white pudding, a lamb or pork chop, potato bread or soda bread. No mushrooms, tomato or beans and certainly none of that American abomination of hash browns. A few fried onions are permitted.

    Beans should always be in a separate bowl on the plate.

    Beans.

    Also pot noodle. My Dad went through a phase in the 90s where we'd have a cooked breakfast for a treat at the weekend. An egg, a sausage, a rasher, half a tomato and a pile of instant noodles to bulk it out.

    Give me sausages, rashers, pudding black and white, beans, tomato, mushrooms, fried spuds/hash browns, eggs must be fried not scrambled and white toast. Guinness sauce or brown sauce for dipping sausages in. Under no circumstances should coffee be had with a fry, 2 mugs of strong tae and that's it sorted.

    If you’re putting in liver and chops then you’re in mixed grill territory. That’s a whole different beast than a fry.
