What's in the ultimate fry-up?

Right who has the money this close to Christmas, also some of those aren't easy to obtain.

Maybe I'll do a slightly cut down version on Friday.

I have never seen fruit pudding and white pudding isn't easy to obtain either.

You'll probably struggle for fruit pudding in England. As for white pudding, you can't even get it in Glasgow chippies (well a few do it), but the supermarkets tend to have it. More of an east coast thing.
 
Grapefruit to start.

Thick bacon bacon, good cumberland sausages at least 98% meat very little filler, black pudding, fried sausagemeat patties, lambs kidneys.
Highly seasoned basted eggs with butter, mushrooms sauteed in butter, fried tomatos, baked beans, proper hashbrowns (no frozen ones!). Fried bread, toast, bread and butter.
Black tea and grapefruit juice with it.
Red sauce.

Italian coffee and a nice cigar to finish to meal.

Simplicity is key, too much on your plate and you can't enjoy it for what it is.

This but with the addition of Bacon Grills, crispy black pudding and change the fried bread for buttered "uncut loaf" slices

- GP
 
I feel the ultimate fryup shouldn't be a scrabble for the most possible things fried but rather a well composed hangover cure.

Bacon - thick, but not overly so. Unsmoked.
Fried eggs - with runny yokes of course!
Black pudding - you just can't beat good black pudding
Sausages - Cumberland, of course, heretically I prefer to mostly grill these - they just come out nicer than friend sausages.
Mushrooms.
Beans.
Hash browns and potato farls - These are just better than friend bread. SOrry.
Toast - white, and buttered. You need toast to mop up the slops, and provide a brief respite from all that fried goodness.
 
Fruit pudding can go jump.

Freaky as ****.

No place for fungus or other fruit (such as tomato) either.

White pudding is Irish?

It's very popular on the East Coast of Scotland as well. It's very hard to find in Glasgow, but it's everywhere in Aberdeen. I'm sure various nations can claim it is theirs.

However, it has no place in a fry up.
 
You can't start something called the "ultimate fry-up" with a grapefruit.

I don't know what a lot of the stuff in the OP is but I want to eat it. :(

I think there is more than enough covered that I would mention.
 
I think I tend to agree that there should be no fruit in a fry-up, so I'm taking out the grapefruit course. I don't like tomatoes or mushrooms either, but since so many people eat them I think they should stay in.

So is the consensus to take out the fruit pudding? I have to say, it sounds disgusting :p

it sounds nice, with some butter and a cup of tea. NoT as a fry up.

However it is officially part of the Scottish full breakfast so it has to stay..

Also missing oat cakes and liver (yuck, on it's own anyway), laverbread
