Irish Breakfast
Irish breakfast is a traditional meal consisting of fried eggs, fried vegetables (tomato & mushroom), potatoes, fried meats such as bacon & sausages, both black and white puddings, baked beans, and toast.
The meal is always served with Irish soda or brown bread, a cup of tea, and a glass of orange juice on the side.
Originally, breakfast was invented as a way to prepare the people for a day of hard work on the farm, and the meal was especially popular on cold winter mornings.
Today, its huge size is making it somewhat impossible to consume on most working day mornings, so it is usually prepared on Sunday morning or Christmas morning.
