Behold. Ireland’s contribution to World Cuisine

  1. This whole list is suspect when the one US entry is a regional favorite sandwich from an obscure state (which is never served as street food anyway).

  2. Still the best breakfast roll I had was off three hours sleep and three hours driving in Monaghan off the N2. I was in a haze and haven’t been able to find it since.

  3. Havent time for the fancy breakfast
    or put muesli in a bowl
    I just head to the Statoil garage
    for the jumbo breakfast Roll.

  4. Is Durum Turkish for Kebab? Cause when I was over there years ago you got the best kebabs.

    Also what kind of absolute mad cunt puts brown sauce on a breakfast roll

  5. I think calling the pastel de nata a street food is a stretch nobody is making those on the street

  6. Yes! I hate breakfast rolls.lol.There always dry as fuk and I dont like the taste of sausages and rashers together dunno why. I just don’t enjoy them.

  7. Seems like so many people try to apply ‘Street food’ to countries that have little to no ‘street food’ culture at all. Like Ireland has barely any actual street food and a breakfast roll is just something we eat. There’s nothing ‘street food’ about it.

  8. I hope more of the world comes to realise our culinary genius, the humble breakfast roll punches far above its weight.

  9. Well at least it’s better than Canada.

    But my favourite is Namibia, anything made with a machete must be fresh!

  10. I met the man who invented the breakfast roll. He’s a taximan in Dublin now, told me this story after I mentioned I’m a chef.

    Apparently he ran a cafe near a big building site and two lads in the high vis vests came in hanging one morning just as a delivery of fresh baguettes was coming in.

    One orders a full Irish and the other can’t stop looking at the baguettes. He goes to the counter and asks for a full irish “but can you put it in one of those rolls?”

    The guy says yeah, no hassle and wraps it in tin foil for him and off he goes down to the site.

    Next morning at fuckin seven a.m. there’s a queue of builders out the door, all getting breakfast rolls.

    The guy told me he was the only one selling them for a while but then sure, word got out, and now it’s an icon.

  11. That list is mostly bullshit.

    Whoever made it hasn’t travelled Fuck all and is just listing stuff hoping for best.
