Because that way madness lies. If we start to allow mushy peas in a fry up, what will become of us? I despair for our future.

Listen closely. Beyond the noise of the stable door banging in the wind... You hear that faint galloping sound?
That's the horse, already a mile away, which bolted when you allowed things like Alcopops and the deep fried Mars Bar™.

Are deep fried Mars Bars allowed in fry ups? No sane person does them. In fact I would put them in the same deviant category as the mushy peas in a fry up crowd.

At least we still arent as bad as Americans (yet) with their deep fried slabs of butter, deep fried beer ravioli, deep fried kool-aid, deep fried jelly beans and deep fried suger cubes

Those don't make any sense, though.
Mushy peas in a fry up (non-breakfast) are essentially the same as a pea fritter, which has clear origins in 16th Century Europe and likely much earlier.
 
No place for mushy peas in a fry up of which the (Ulster) Fry should consist of:
Fried Bacon
Fried Eggs
Fried Sausages
Grilled Tomato
Fried Potatoe Bread
Fried Soda Bread
Fried Mushrooms
Black pudding
Baked Beans
Brown Sauce

You forgot the pint of Guinness!
 
Personally I don't care, they're not something I'd normally have. Potato bread is important and my Mrs always does scotch style pancakes toasted with it too.

Mushy peas are never acceptable under any circumstances. If I washed up on a desert island with nothing to eat but cans of mushy peas I still wouldn't touch the bloody things.

Now now. Mushy peas are superb but there is a time and a place for them. With battered fish or a pie. Never, ever in a fry up.

I recall a holiday once where there was a group of Irish lads in the same complex who we got on well with. One day a few of them joined us for breakfast only they brought a crate of Corona with them! Just booze, no food!
