“A marvel of indolence-inducing heft, the ‘fry’, or traditional Irish breakfast, is both savory and very filling. The basics: bacon, pork sausages, white pudding and black pudding (both oatmeal based, the latter with pig’s blood added), fried eggs, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, brown bread, sometimes baked beans and/or fried potatoes, always hot milky tea or even a glass of Guinness. Slainte!”
