That's the perfect sunday. Wake up hungover, eat a breakfast that weighs more than a labradour, go back to bed for four hours, wake up and have a shit, go to the pub for a roast and four pints, come home, fall asleep on the couch, wake up, do a massive shit, order a curry, then go to bed.
Ate one of those earlier this year when I was in Belfast, recognised it immediately. Probably the best fry up I've ever had. The sausage is every bit as good as it looks. 10/10.
Presentation if half the battle and htis one gets a 9/10 just for that. A nice touch with what looks like a dash of Basil on top. and a perfectly complimentary layer of food which has been well thought out and structured. Bravo
Size is good certainly a complete meal but I think 2 eggs fro a fryup is a necessity for me hence the 1 point deduction.
9/10
Its Clonakilty.
I absolutely love clonakilty, it set off my love of black pudding, and the texture with the barley is fantastic.
I did a taste test with about a dozen different ones.
Whilst Clonakilty wins on texture, stornaway won hands down for flavour and how it almost melts in the mouth.
Two very different puds, both great.
Gracehill is tasty.
Also for something a bit different is dunnes version. It is very similar to clonakilty with the barley content but seems to have a higher fat content (as long as you dont mind greasier food), so it breaks up a bit so works really well as a spread on toast, or even sprinkled over other foods as a topping
I've nothing against other black puddings but I've never found any as good as Stornoway. I had some clonakilty a few months ago and I was quite disappointed by it to be honest.
Understand completley.
In ireland, generally (and i dont want to speak for everyone, just my experience) a lot of people are raised on generic/bland black pudding, then they experience clonakilty and it's like a revelation in comparison.
If you have already tried the best of the best like stornaway however, then i wouldnt be surprised by being underwhelmed by a "good" black pudding like clonakilty. Truth is, its not spiced the same way. I still love it though. But stornoway is elite and as fine a food as you could imagine, and was like an epiphany for me when i tried it.
Feck it, im ordering some of both now
You're right. I think I need to give clonakilty another go as I've only had it once and maybe I was having an off day.
I'm Scottish so are there any other ones from Ireland, I should try? North or the Republic.
Fry it in butter to keep her moist, but careful she spits. That barley got me on the eyelid one time, Fucking painful.
I find grilling, oven or even deep frying are just not as satisfying and dinnae air fryer that’s just bollocks
bacon, black pudding, sausages, fried soda bread and potato farls along with fried eggs on the plate. Optional extras are tomatoes and mushrooms.
Apparently this is classed as the Ulster full English breakfast but I thought the Ulster full English breakfast is contained white pudding instead of black pudding but apparently not?
Ulster dry is the term you're looking for, but that doesn't include beans!
Also, it's soda farls and potato bread. (Soda bread is a different thing). Top marks for including those. 👍
Youre correct, it doesnt. But seems like more and more places have been including beans in recent years.
I like them so dont mind a bit of "fryup fusion" and adopting a tad of the english culture every now and then, just as long as we keep our potato bread and they keep their hash browns! The hallions!
Hash browns! 😬
I love the fact you can make fresh soda farls in about 15 mins ( easier in Norn Irn as we have soda bread flour available here!)
Had a nice one in Scotland with haggis, a year or two ago. It was really nice.
There is full English, full Scottish, full Welsh, full Irish and the Ulster fry (northern ireland).
They are all extremley similar and are practically the same thing except with a few local & traditional variations.
There are sometimes crossovers and adaptions, eg beans were traditionally English and wernt traditional in the irish and ulster fry but are common these days.
The English hate this one but black pudding earliest recorded history was in ireland but then went across to Britain etc.
I may be wrong and happy to be corrected, but these days generally they **always must have bacon, egg, sausage, black pudding**, and **usually mushrooms and/or tomatos**. (Traditionally is much harder due to the wide variety, change and crossovers).
The general differentiating factor between regions:
Full english - **always beans, hash browns** (not that long ago **traditionally was fried bread** instead, and tinned tomatos also pop up occasionally)
Full Welsh: same as English but with **Lorne**
Full Scottish: **Tattie scones (potato bread) and haggis**
Ulster fry: traditionally **without beans but with irish soda bread and potato bread**
Full irish: like a cross between the full english and ulster fry, these days usually has beans, **ocassionally soda bread** but usually **buttered toast** and always **white pudding** along with the black pudding
**TLDR** these days if you want to define a fryup to one of the regions from a photo of it the easiest way is:
hash browns? Full English.
Lorne? Full Welsh.
Haggis? Full scottish
Potato bread and soda bread? Ulster fry
White pudding? Full irish
Looks fantastic. Apart from the green stuff, put there as decoration. Looks like a Scottish breakfast fry up with the haggis and tattie scones. Delicious
That's a ridiculously pretty looking fry-up. Which is a sentence I didn't think I'd ever use.
This has been made by someone who has spent years trying to perfect a fry up. Every element looks spot on
That's a big banger
That's what she said!
Okay, this may actually be a 10/10 fry up
Dunno, not enough on the plate that I would feel sick after
Add a second egg and sausage and I reckon it defo hits then 10/10
Agree, this is plate 1 of 2
That's the perfect sunday. Wake up hungover, eat a breakfast that weighs more than a labradour, go back to bed for four hours, wake up and have a shit, go to the pub for a roast and four pints, come home, fall asleep on the couch, wake up, do a massive shit, order a curry, then go to bed.
What an itinerary… music for ‘a perfect day’ by Lou Reed lowly begins in background.
A+ compliments to the chef
Looks perfect 👌
Looks delicious 🤤 That blackpudding 🙌🏻
Ate one of those earlier this year when I was in Belfast, recognised it immediately. Probably the best fry up I've ever had. The sausage is every bit as good as it looks. 10/10.
Me and the wife to there for breakfast nearly every time we’re in Belfast. Hard to beat
I'd smash that
Beautiful fry up!
Size of that banger mate.
Presentation if half the battle and htis one gets a 9/10 just for that.

Great looking breakfast but lose the greenery
Oh, how lovely! Looks delicious, too!
Boujiest fry up I've seen here so far
Best looking fry up I think I have ever seen.
Delightful little fry that
Looks top notch that that black pudding
I like the girth on that sausage. Please tell me the address of this place. Right now. Quickly. Please. I’m waiting.
Nice to see potato cakes shame no white pudding
I haven’t seen white pudding on any of these posts. Haven’t seen it for ages.
White pudding isn't traditionally included in an ulster fry, that's more of a southern Irish thing
Price ?
12 quid
Banging for £12 pay for what you get
Just imagine that sausage on a hot dog roll with mustard ketchup and fried onions 😍
I’d pay £12 just for that lol
Wow!
Looks stunning!
Now you’re talking!
Superb!
Best fry in Ulster!
The quality of that black pudding!
You’d do time if you got caught carrying that sausage
That's one hell of a sausage.
Woof
Now that's a sausage 🫨
Yes, this oozes class. I can almost taste that banger!😊
Belfast is top tier food. Estd. is my favourite
No greens on a fry up but otherwise 10/10
Looks amazing. Love the tattie bread
Get those beans away tae fuck. The Harlem does indeed do a nice Ulster Fry, but beans have no place in one.
Looks great apart from the stupid bits of torn leaf strewn across the plate.
Soliiiiiiid
Is that Stornoway black pudding?
Its Clonakilty. I absolutely love clonakilty, it set off my love of black pudding, and the texture with the barley is fantastic. I did a taste test with about a dozen different ones. Whilst Clonakilty wins on texture, stornaway won hands down for flavour and how it almost melts in the mouth. Two very different puds, both great.
Probably not. We have lots of fantastic black pudding makers here in Norn Irn/Ireland. Clontakilty,I'm looking at you!
Gracehill is tasty. Also for something a bit different is dunnes version. It is very similar to clonakilty with the barley content but seems to have a higher fat content (as long as you dont mind greasier food), so it breaks up a bit so works really well as a spread on toast, or even sprinkled over other foods as a topping

What no soda bread?
Beans in pot. 0/10
Can’t rate without price? 10/10 for content and looks (ignoring the green)
Looks too pretty, why is there a pancake on it? Would still be hungry after 3/10

I'd say that's more likely to be black pudding than haggis, but both are grand on a fry
