CHEW ON THIS

An Ulster Fry is a dish similar to the Irish breakfast or the Full English, and is popular throughout Ulster. A traditional Ulster Fry consists of bacon, eggs, sausages (either pork or beef), the farl form of soda bread (the farl is split in half crossways to expose the inner bread and then fried with the exposed side down), potato bread and wheaten farl.

Other common components include mushrooms, baked beans or pancake. All this is traditionally fried, however in recent decades, people have taken to grilling the ingredients instead. The Ulster Fry is often served for breakfast, lunch and dinner in households and cafés around the province. Emigrants have also popularised the serving of an Ulster Fry outside Northern Ireland. The usual accompaniment is strong tea, typically a blend, which is Assam-rich.
