This abomination of a “full irish” that I got at a Dublin hotel this morning

  1. The only green in a big dirty fry should be a bit of a hedge that fell off your head after a mad session the night before.

  2. That plate looks like it’s made of that ceramic nonsense that would make your skin crawl every time the cutlery is scraped across it.

  3. Shame about the salad (especially the cucumber) but the sausages look good, as do the hash browns and the eggs look poached to perfection

  4. Think this is bad. The absolute state of the US lounge in Dublin airport. Advertised Irish breakfast and it was an actual disgrace. Think sausages was the only meat

  5. 1 rasher? Salad?

    I’ll start my cookbook here so to help other hoteliers who also may not know how to make a fry.

    Sausages: x 4

    Rashers x 3 (two for the toast, one extra for yourself as you’re worth it)

    Hash browns x2

    Eggs (Fried or poached) x 2

    Black pudding x4

    White pudding x 2 (can be replaced by more black pudding)

    Buttered toast triangles x 4 (2 slices total)

    Tea (milky as you like it, not going to gatekeep tea)

    Bottle of lucozade (optional)

    Fried tomatoes (optional, sometimes I want that sweetness, sometimes the idea of tomatoes makes me feel sick)

  6. This was at the Aisling Hotel. €220 for the night and getting two of these up to room cost €40. We missed a flight to Iceland for our honeymoon yesterday, but this is the worst thing that happened to us this weekend.

  7. I make my own hash browns because nobody in Ireland knows what hash browns are. Those piddly little triangular things are not hash browns. For real hash browns you grate some potatoes, squeeze the liquid out of them, and fry them in melted butter with some salt and pepper. Trust me, once you’ve had real hash browns you’ll never go back to those triangle thingies.

  8. I’m actually offended by the fact this is being called a full Irish. €40…. for that? Jaysus! And then salad on the plate too… talk about adding insult to injury! One feckin rasher… nah.

    If we were American I’d tell ye to sue for emotional damages and hate crimes against real Irish frys!
