A Proper Fry!
Well, here is an easy way to induce a heart attack!
I grew up knowing this breakfast as an "Irish Fry", so please - no insult is meant to my friends in England that enjoy this dish! But my lawd, this is one tasty, and unhealthy, but awesome plate that makes for a great dinner!
I'm fortunate to have a small grocery store nearby in my area just north of Atlanta, GA called the Queen's Pantry. They stock a very nice selection of groceries from England and Ireland, including frozen meats. I recently stopped by and grabbed a few things to put together a "proper fry". That included bangers, rashers, white pudding, and blood pudding. At a local grocery store, I stumbled upon Batchelors Beans (sorry, better than Heinz!), and grabbed some canned sliced potato and a tomato to go with my unhealthy feast.
The ingredients all gathered!
Right here we have the proper rashers. Mmmmmm good!
Pudding! For the squeamish - just think of it as sausage!
One of my favorites - Irish bangers! The best!
Some sliced potatoes in a can, because they fry up really nice. And I'm sorry, but not sorry - Batchelors Beans are better than Heinz! There is just a lot more flavor to the Batchelors brand.
Basically, I fry it all in butter, using one pan to cook it all. It's messy (there is a lot of grease!) and VERY unhealthy. It's probably a good thing this is a rare treat for me! I start with the meats in the pan first, to build up the grease for cooking the other bits. The potatoes benefit from cooking in all of the grease and dripping because they suck up all of the good flavor. And I fry up the tomato quickly before finishing with the eggs.
Can you feel your arteries clogging? HAHAHAHA!
Bangers and rashers!
This rare treat will always rank high up on my favorites list. It's a good thing I only get this every couple of years! It's a feast for sure, and I highly suggest it!
Served the right way, with a Guiness!
Look at all of this tasty, unhealthy, awesome flavor!
Mmmmmmm yeah! I love eggs cooked "sunny side up"!
Tomato is healthy, no? HAHAHAHA!
Mmmmmm. White pudding and blood pudding. I swear it's not as bad as it sounds!
Proper Irish bangers! For my friends in the United States, you need to find a some real Irish bangers and fry 'em up. The flavor and texture of this type of sausage is unparalleled!
To round it out, we have our fried starch! These potatoes go really well with this plate.
What a beautiful plate!

Now your talking my language apart from the beans
My cholesterol when 40 points just looking at this. Get rid of the tomatoes and beans and I game 😀
Hehe, the tomato is the salad 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It makes it all healthy!
Okay, I may get a heart attack from that, however I am certain I will die very happy.
Not sure if I've ever had Batchelor's beans but I prefer HP to Heinz, not sure why. I would scoff the lot with the possible exception of the white pudding.
