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)

Ans for the main course?......

You can't call an Ulster Fry a full English, now can you?
Read my post again. I wasn't. I was saying the Ulster Fry was the standard by which others, i.e. English can be compared

Soda bread is lovely, I grant you, but anyone who thinks that black pudding is merely optional isn't taking the subject seriously.

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

What does that mean?

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

No, two completely different things. Although it does get confusing.
This is what we always refer to as Soda Bread (also known as Soda Farls).
Wheaten Bread (is a type of Soda Bread but is never called that)

Threads like this should be banned....................:angry:














So poor sods like me don't start slavering because we're not allowed them...........................Sometimes I could kill for a 'Full English' , but then think what I've gone through to get the old cholesterol down.

Absolutely but you forgot the white pudding and mushrooms.


At least you didn't include beans or hash brown. They have no place in a proper breakfast.

The best breakfast I was ever served was in the Kal-Mar B&B near the Giant's Causeway earlier this year. It was huge. A French couple who were staying there at the time brought out a camera to take a photograph as they had never seen such a huge breakfast before :hungry:

Oh nothing, just, seeing the negative responses above, thought you might splutter on learning that someone else actually likes it....

I have noticed a slightly frivolous approach from some participants! Time for a stern face. :angry:

The ideal breakfast chez theclaud is as follows:

Bill O'Hagan's Traditional Pork Sausages, fried very slowly.
Dry cure middle or collar bacon, unsmoked. Fried.
Clonakilty Black Pudding, fried.
Fried eggs (over-easy in the bacon fat) or scrambled eggs (in butter)
Home-made spicy beans in tomato sauce
Flat mushrooms, fried in butter
Buttered spinach (unorthodox, I know, but trust me on this)
Grilled tomatoes (optional, cos the spicy beans are ticking the tomato box)
Home-made sourdough or wholemeal toast and butter

I'm sympathetic to the soda-bread and potato-bread ideas, but those frozen triangular hash-browns do not belong anywhere near all the good stuff.

You're all missing some.

To quote the OP:

Bacon (Irish)
Sausages (Irish pork)
Fried egg
Potato Bread (at least 4)
Soda Bread (at least 4)
Tea
Brown Sauce
Black Pudding (optional)



But he's missed:


White pudding
Mushrooms


...and you've all forgotten:


BAKED BEANS

TOMATOES


This is the proper Ulster Fry according to my late pal from Newry and my living pal from Bangor.

Two fried eggs
two bacon
black pudding
bubble and squeak(crispy)
Tinned tomatoes
mushrooms
two toast
and a large mug of tea. All this for £5, it should set me up for the rest of the day.:hungry:

I forgot about the tomato but putting beans on a fried breakfast is something that has only started happening recently. I speak as lifelong Ulster resident, and something of a fan of fried breakfasts.
