Heart Healthy Breakfast, Irish Style

[bigwheelzip]

Thought some of you dedicated carnivores would appreciate this plate.

My cousin's family went to see her granddaughter marry an Irishman, in Ireland, this past weekend, and this is the artery clogging hotel breakfast.

Looks delicious to me! Nothing like a good hearty breakfast to start the day. Think I would skip lunch later though. Great looking sausage.

My arteries are hardening just looking at it!



A little heavier than I'd want for breakfast, even when I ate meat, but it does look good. I'd probably give it a try if I ever visited there.

Some wedding photos of the bride and groom were behind the well stocked bar.

The bean fiber makes it healthy.

Just drink a diet Coke after breakfast. The solvents in it will wash away all the oil and fats!

That’s known as an English breakfast.

Yummy! Especially with blood sausage!

There is not much difference between English and Irish breakfasts.

The Brits will often throw in kippers, french fries and sliced tomato.

Blindfold me. I'll take both.

Our neighbor in Switzerland had a small farm and made his own blood sausage once a year at slaughter time. We were honored that they would bring us some as a gift, but it made me gag. I think the texture stopped me from acquiring a taste for it.

Those "hardy" breakfasts were typical when
the menfolk worked hard in mines, iron mills,
and other energy consuming jobs.

Now, according to a report I heard a few years
ago, those same breakfasts have turned a lot
of Brit Isle folk into "hearty" disasters.

Besides, over here it's hold the beans and
lay on the hash browns smothered in onions.

Yes, a Full English Breakfast. Black Pudding (Blood Sausage) Fried Bread (toast) Baked Beans, a Raster of Bacon, English Bangers and marinated mushrooms. The English version will usually have a half of a baked tomato, while the Irish will leave that out. When you throw up, with the tomato, you might think you have some internal bleeding! The only thing I don't like is where I usually get this when I am in the U.K. they ACTUALLY FRY the eggs in an electric skillet full of oil, which they float the eggs in when cooking them.

For the British Version, you need a Pint of Bitters, but for the Irish Version, a glass of Redbreast 12 year old neat or a Pint of Guinness. For American's Orange Juice or a Mamosa.

Some add kippers, but I will pass on them.

the grilled tomato and Guinness are missing.....

What is that at about 4 o'clock ?

Previous posters say the tomato is typical of the English version, and the Mimosa is an acceptable beverage.
My cousin's son, the brides father, stuck to his guns and happily drank Budweiser while there.

 

[Absalom]

That looks delicious.

What we used to call an “Irish breakfast” was much simpler:

Black coffee. Shot of Jameson’s. Repeat if necessary.

I think it's Blood Sausage.
