Proper breakfast fry?

[TrevorM]

It has come to my attention that those of you on the fringes of the empire (i.e. outside Northern Ireland) are not preparing your breakfasts in the correct manner! How can you live without potato bread and soda bread!
No point calling it a full English breakfast when it is not complete.

The Ulster Fry is the official standard by which all others are judged and it is:
Bacon (Irish)
Sausages (Irish pork)
Fried egg
Potato Bread (at least 4)
Soda Bread (at least 4)
Tea
Brown Sauce
Black Pudding (optional)

Grilled Bacon
Grilled Sausages
Scrambled Egg
Baked Beans
Grilled Tomatoes
Fried Fried Mushrooms
Black Pudding
Toast

Thats my ideal breakfast, not fussed if the meats English or not.

Canadians know how to do it. Have a look at The Yukon Big Bite that Ricky's serves in BC.

Examine the highlighted items. These make it a Ulster Fry - which is Irish and not English!!
You can't call an Ulster Fry a full English, now can you?


Anyways, a full English should have :-

Sausages - varying in number, size and variety according to personal grrediness and location.
Bacon. Lots and lots.
Fried eggs according to taste.
Fried bread and/or toast
Hash browns are nice, but hardly traditional...
Tea or coffee, juice of some sort.

Whoa I say. Stop! Where's the white pudding??? The kidney? The liver? How can black pudding ever be "optional"??

I'm happy to lose your soda bread as long as I can keep my two extra eggs.

My son who fancies himself as a bit of a Jamie Oliver, fried some sausages very very slowly last Sunday and they were a revelation.
I'll give it another try on Sunday.


p.s. The good Doctor already said what I was going to say

p.p.s. A full English with kangarro burgers is just so wrong!

Does no one else have tomato and mushrooms with their fry ups??? Strange!

As for the soda bread etc, all that bread would be too much imo, just toast is enough

Always...

Not a lover of sausages...but mine would be bacon, egg, mushrooms, black pudding, fried tomatoes, baked beans and toast. All
done on a griddle.
Ironically, if i'm having a fry up at home, it'd be for tea, not breakfast. Couldnt face that lot in the morning.

I'd have a go at potato bread n soda bread...if i knew what it was.

 

[ianrauk]

got to love a full English.
But the preferable brekkie in the ianrauk household is

American style pancakes covered with lashings of butter and maple syrup (I have got cooking these down to a fine art)
Few rashers of Bacon & 2 eggs
copious amounts of tea.

Actually, Trevorm, put something over your keyboard....

Soda Bread - yes!!! Baked by ace 661-Baker himself to our own recipe. Love it!

Can't match any of the others, sorry (apart from the tea).

(Actually, I thought that in the Six Counties it's generally referred to as 'wheaten bread' rather than 'soda'. But no matter).

Smoked salmon and green peppercorn sausages mmmm.

 

[fishfortwo]

THe ideal cooked breakfast for me has to be
Grilled Bacon
Grilled link Sausages Pork or beef
Square sausage
Tattie Scones
Fried haggis slice
Black pudding Stornoway preferably

I can feel the need to go and work it off even thinking about it lol.
