My sister and her bairns are coming from Northern Ireland next week
for a visit. I would like to make the Ulster Fry.

Could anyone tell me what it is and how you cook it?

Isn't it basically a fried breakfast?

Eggs, bacon, black pudding, white pudding, sausages, fried potato cake,
fried soda bread and toast. With thick tea in thick mugs :)

At least that's what I had a few times in Belfast. Perhaps there are
local variations of it in other parts of Ulster.

Talking of local variations on the breakfast fry-up, does anyone know
where in London I can buy the ingredients to turn my regular English
breakfast into a Scottish breakfast - namely Lorne sausage and fruit
pudding?

Iceland used to sell Lorne sausage but it wasn't very nice at all.

Yes, it's just a fry-up. I think the irish tend to have theirs at the
end of a night of drinking, rather than in the morning though. Might
want to miss that step out for the bairns :)

And Farm Foods, of course. If you take the innards out of a really cheap
sausage like those Richmond Irish Recipe pink offal tubes and remake it into a
square-shaped patty you won't be too far off.

We call it potato bread. Available sometimes in Sainsburys, M&S and
Waitrose. White pudding not essential. All the above fried, though you
could grill the bacon and sausages. And not complete in my home without
HP sauce.

>fried soda bread and toast. With thick tea in thick mugs :)

Fried sliced loaf is common, too.

Perhaps grilled tomato halves and mushrooms sauteed in butter if you're
somewhere posh.

Thanks. I don't shop in Iceland on principle, which is probably why I
haven't seen it.

Stovies for breakfast? I've not encountered that. But I don't claim to
be an authority on Scottish breakfasting habits - I just like fruit
pudding. Lorne sausage can be hit and miss, but I've had decent examples.

Something to do whilst the children are asleep.
