Can't beat an Ulster Fry, particularly on the morning of a big away game where lots of alcohol may be consumed!! They aren't much different from an English Fry except we have Potato Bread (Fadge) which is very nice indeed. I don't think we have that much black pudding over here, although I could be wrong. I just don't eat the stuff!

Is Fadge anything like bubble and squeak? Ingredients and cooking method would be rather good please! Also a picture of said Fadge for our drooling masses to salivate over! The food equivalent of porn I bet!

The food equivalent of porn I bet! Don't know the ingredients though I would suspect it is in the name, or the cooking method but despite my liking now for brioche, freshly squeezed orange juice, and espresso  I had many an Ulster Fry during a very happy twelve months in Belfast in 1979/80 (also I think with Soya bread or something like that). Football wise I used to watch the nearest club to where I was staying Cliftonville and also used to go across the city to Windsor Park for Linfield (quite different supporters of the two clubs in respect of what was going on at that time and Linfield v Cliftonville was one of the more interesting games I saw). Also caught Glentoran a couple of times. Football wise the most memorable thing for me is that it was where I saw my first International Games. For the 1980 European Championship the four home nations had been grouped together over two seasons for qualifying, plus the Republic of Ireland. My first game was England winning 5-1 at Windsor Park, and a month later I saw what I believe was the first ever game between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (certainly the first competitive game). 1-0 win to Northern Ireland. Apart from the football the most memorable thing about my stay was a visit to the Bushmills Whisky Distillery on the North Antrim coast, but the less said about that the better! ;D I have been back a few times since for short visits the last time being about six years ago so I am overdue for a bit more 'craic'. It's what I really like about this forum though .... a debate about breakfasts has got me rambling about fooball memories in Northern Ireland!!!  |

Just proves your as mad as the rest of us! Madder I suspect as I've had more years of practice! ;D Soda bread was the other thing I was trying to think of in the last post. That together with potatoe bread and all the other traditional fried items you've all been banging on about ad nauseam for weeks is perfect to set you up for something like say, .... a visit to Bushmills Whisky Distillery! ;D |

I get a mental work out when ever I`m near my mother, it does rather explain a lot but you`d have to meet her to understand what I mean! |

I get a mental work out when ever I`m near my mother, it does rather explain a lot but you`d have to meet her to understand what I mean! The trainers bit is simples. Can only be footwear obtainable from Madness Shoes at www.zazzle.com/madness+shoes. Mad Strengthening loads of options:- (1) Watch Question Time and shout at the screen as a better alternative to throwing things at it in an infuriated rant! (2) Go to Tesco for a string of onions and join the multitudes panic buying bread and milk! (3) Try to get on a bus that is not full of free bus pass holders! (4) Meet my ex-mother-in-law! (5) Better still meet my ex-wife; (6) Drive around working in the snow with all the idiots on the road who can't drive in normal conditions but somehow think they will be ok to venture out in the white stuff! (7) Plan your day based on the weather forecast (and rant throughout the day!)! (8) Watch a game at Home Park! (9) Join the TFF!!!!!! (10) Spend a weekend in Barking!! Simples |

I love how the "vegetable roll" has sausagemeat in it. I remember going to a pub in Bromsgrove with the Mrs and they had a carvery on. She asked if they had a veggie option and was told it was Steak and Kidney Pie! |

You won't find too many farls served in South Devon I'm afraid..... The best hotels for breakfasts used to be Stakis ones before they were taken over by Hilton. They started off in Scotland so they used to have a Scottish breakfast that included farls and something dellicious called colcannon - a bit like bubble and squeak. Checking wiki, it says colcannon is a traditional Irish dish. |

Colcannon. Delicious. I'd liken it to bubble as well. Also white pudding is something I encountered on a trip to Dublin a few years back. If you don't do black pudding, you won't do white. But I've no idea what it comprises of. Quite heavy. Edit: White Pudding recipe www.mrbreakfast.com/superdisplay.asp?recipeid=1667 |

 I get up daily (Mon~Fri) at 3am, work roughly ten hours a day and would reckon I've earned the right to call myself "down to earth" wouldn't you? Amongst the complimentary reading put out in the back of my car is a "Concierge Magazine" ~ that's a new fangled term for "Bog Reading" ~ in which I read this: "Richard's menu reflects an innate passion for wild flavour rich, no nonsense cooking, my current favourite is pheasant with almonds and lentils" and later he adds to that, "fennel pennacotta with lobster and orange; saddle of wild rabbit with chestnuts and squash; and toffee apple soufle" and he tells the reader that he sources his ingredients from "a committee  of hand picked suppliers................oysters from Colchester, corn fed chicken from Lancashire, beef from Tipperary,, butter from Lincolnshire and all presented on plain white tableware....................the food is the star of the show"That's were I'm going wrong then, yesterday I completely overdid the "pretentiousness" and served up braised beef and rice sorced from Morrison's down the road in a nice sauce made from tinned chopped tomatoes, garlic and chilli powder which "the committe" (that's me and the kids this Sunday)all agreed should come from the corner shop because when I set out to prepare it, one's supplier from Tuscany had bloody well not turned up again with the tomatoes, the garlic was still in France due to a customs and excise strike and Osamba ruddy Bin Liner had blown up the chilli fields once more ~ I blame that Tony Blair. All served on the rectangular black plates I bought to hide the "presentation" of my ruddy missus who would burn a lettuce leaf!  I'll just have to get up earlier or work a seven day week then I can afford Richard's restaurant prices of £45 a head per main course, and wine at just a tenner a glass.
