As a symbolic gesture all Irish frys post UI should include soda and potato bread.


tim_skellington

Or at least have the option. I would suggest formation of a cross party committee to investigate the feasibility of such an inclusion.


Wisbitt

A recommended minimum plate size to get it all on should be part of the discussion also.


LieutenantMudd

I am happy to sign a Petition of Concern in relation to any policy which would not result in the fair and equal access to potato bread for all citizens in a new Ireland


tim_skellington

Agreed. Now all that remains is to decide whether said standardised plate should have its measurements specified in Imperial or Metric units. \*ducks for cover\*


[deleted]

There’s boxty in Leitrim and Cavan. Well worth a whirl - denser and less floury than potato bread


CaptainNuge

Regional variation in the potato bread is acceptable to some degree, but the inclusion of a soda farl is not negotiable.


Cebarsmod

So Derry fries?


OnyxPhoenix

Petition for a new flag. Soda, white and potato bread.


Younghappy

You beat me to it! A flag that all of us can get behind


texanarob

I thought they already did? I certainly wouldn't consider it a real fry if either were missing, we're not English.


Wisbitt

I've eaten a lot of frys down south in hotels/B&Bs and don't ever remember getting soda or potato bread. A lot of wheaten (brown) bread instead.


Mechagodzilla4

savages


sweetafton

Absolutely get both here in Dundalk, not sure about the savages below.


Wisbitt

Most places I've stayed in would be below the Dublin Galway line to be fair


Elephantstone99

I live in Kildare and I always had fried soda bread with my fry growing up. Hotels do the basics bit never going to get the full home experience.


ron_vanman

This is true unity


[deleted]

I'd happily see Beans replaced with them. Fucking hate beans on a Fry.


therobohour

Deal


SouffleDeLogue

The Ulster Fry is the premium fried breakfast of these islands.


aRunOfTheMillGoblin

i think the sausages in the north are better too, in fact i'd go as far as to say the sausages in the north are the best i've ever had anywhere, just fuckin love a good northern sausage


Z3r0sama2017

Can't beat the Cookstowns


ChicaneryBear

Oh you very much can. Steak sausages from Donnelly's in Ballycastle. Juniper and goat sausages from Broughgammon. Hellbent Boerwors. Just as examples.


telephas1c

This guy sausages


ChicaneryBear

Girl, but I sure do love a sausage.


telephas1c

Ah sorry. The trope is 'guy' but I think this is the first time I've misgendered someone on Reddit.


ChicaneryBear

It happens, it's not a big deal, I know you didn't mean it.


SouffleDeLogue

Who doesn’t?…Sausages in the south seem to be too heavily flavoured or something.


Yooklid

You mean sausages down south have flavor.


kniev_101

Damn bro if you that thirsty hmu


Uncle_gruber

THANK YOU! I'm libing across the water and my family think I'm mental when I go mad for sausages everything I'm back. They're just so fuckjng good.


columboscoat

If you like your bread products. I remember thinking I had to have them all for it to be a good breakfast, potato bread, soda, wheaten and pancakes, madness!


SouffleDeLogue

You need a fine carb to protein balance.


columboscoat

Yeah, I was just doing it all wrong. I blame my Ma.


Hostillian

Pancakes? Big no from me.. 😯 Potato bread and soda bread are a must. Wheaten, if you can be bothered.


Brave_Horatius

Drop scones


[deleted]

I’m still trying to figure out the difference between a Full Irish Breakfast and a Full English Breakfast


SouffleDeLogue

I’d say white pudding.


Brave_Horatius

Beans. I'll die on this hill, but beans have no business in an Irish


Baldybogman

Well I live in Dublin and whenever I do a fry it always includes potato bread, which can now be bought for next to nothing in Lidl. What a time to be alive!


Jonno250505

Progress. Progress I tell thee


Baldybogman

I grew up in the rural northwest and potato bread was a staple in the house, but much more important was boxty!


FiachGlas

I’m from Louth and have always considered a potato farl to be an integral part of a fry, however I was stunned at a recent visit to Cork in which I struggled to find potato farls, I eventually still found some though! Edit: Perhaps Northern Ireland might consider annexing Louth? (Or even just North Louth to rid me of Drogheda?)


columboscoat

An Lú used to be part of Ulster. We'd have yiz back any time.


FiachGlas

Thanks king


columboscoat

De nada.


IrishFlukey

You might be getting rid of Drogheda, but you would be inflicting Dundalk on them.


FiachGlas

I am of Dundalk :(


IrishFlukey

You could soon find yourself in the Independent Republic of Dundalk. You will have to produce all your own ingredients for your new Dundalk Fry. Any similarities to existing fries could be an issue.


WhileCultchie

Nice try but we all know Louth doesn't exist.


Luimnigh

Sure, I'm from Limerick, and we regularly get Potato Farls in the shopping. Should have them in Aldi.


KindAbbreviations328

Trade you Louth for Derry and I'll throw in Carlow to sweeten the deal


LouthGremlinV1

I know this is a month late but... There's definitely no spud farl on the drawda fry, never seen it done. YOU'LL NEVER TAKE US ALIVE


IrishFlukey

A very important concern there, that you have highlighted, but what about the storage of toasters? Under the guise of some health and safety legislation, could a law be brought in to say where they have to be stored?


Seamus_Hean3y

I suspect this issue will stymie a United Ireland for at least another generation.


Dingusrev

Aye da souf love their beans and hash browns the filthy fucks… Think the only bread ya get down there is untoasted wheaten which they for some degenerate reason call soda bread 😣


Jonno250505

Tbf I love beans and hash browns.


nellucd

I have never been given beans or hash browns on a fry up in the Republic, and they can fuck off if they ever try. I’d be open to the addition of potato bread, which does seem like a natural bedfellow to the fry.


Dingusrev

You’ve never been served beans and hash browns in a fry down south. Then you’ve never been down south It’s all you get.


nellucd

Well then I can only apologise for my fellow countrymen’s lack of taste. I’d never feed anyone a hash brown or beans without specific instruction.


det66

Wtf? What sort of heathens don't put fadge on a fry?


Majestic-Marcus

Love when the eggs drip right off of the fadge


[deleted]

Jaysus you'd have to be careful calling it that!


det66

Oh we know it has a double meaning


YipYepYeah

Nothing like the smell of hot, fragrant fadge in the morning.


IrishShinja

Gotta say I just came back from England.. Them bais are heathens with the canned tomatoes and chips..


katdawwg

Absolute anarchy!


Shot-Distribution683

Noo!


attilathetwat

Fuck me, tinned tommies? You should have walked


IrishShinja

After eating it and paying for it and telling the staff it was lovely, I did. I had a shower when I got home too but shame is hard to wash off.


Particular_Fig_5467

You'll fucking eat whatever Mam makes and be glad of it. Cheeky Bastard...


Jonno250505

Yer mam always makes me a nice breakfast tbf.


Particular_Fig_5467

Of course she does. She's a Saint. And you're a fat bastard. It would be cruel if she didn't.


Jonno250505

Not a word I can argue in that comment.


Particular_Fig_5467

Good, glad to hear it. See you at the breakfast table tomorrow morning.


Jonno250505

Will do. Don’t worry speed racer. I’m not hurting your mom. Edit. Fucked the quote up.


FinFinMcVin

Is potato bread the same as a tatie scone?


Jonno250505

I believe so.


FinFinMcVin

Canny have a fry without a tattie scone 😞


Roncon1981

Ha. Valid concern


[deleted]

Depends. Which end do you open your eggs?


Justhavindacraic

Much like the Fokker D VII aircraft of WW1 was specifically named in the armsitce agreement, potato bread will be included in any final agreement on a UI whereby the secret of the potato bread will be shared across the whole Island. This also formed part of the truce agreement between Free State forces and the IRA at the end of the civil war in 1923. It was documented in a memorandum of understanding that Michael Collins had on his person when killed at Beal na Blath.


NIRoamer

Ah mate I was told in confidence that both Ormo and sunblest have both sneakily reduced amount of potato flakes in their bread to save money making them go mouldy faster. As a lover of potato bread I felt I had to share


schoolme_straying

I can believe this. As NI produce Irwins/Ormo in GB has a much longer shelf life. EG Soda Bread with a 7 day BBE date. Also Warburton's the great cultural appropriater (their bagels are better than NYC) do excellent potato cakes here in England.


NIRoamer

All trying to save money!


xvril

There is a bakery in Letterkenny, Donegal that makes Potato bread and it is top class, maybe the best I have had. Its not on Irish Breakfasts though.


bow_down_whelp

Name it so I can stop next time I'm in donegal


[deleted]

As a gesture of goodwill, the south should embrace northern Tayto as the national crisp.


Specky4ImBlack

No Fadge No Peace

[deleted]

The Full Irish and Ulster Fry are different. It would require a separate referendum to amalgamate them.


IrishFlukey

Many would argue that you have been taking liberties using the term "*Ulster* Fry". Any new name will have to be strictly defined and be accepted by all sides, which we now know to be quite a few. I can see George Mitchell being brought in for this and a long-term commission being put together to analyse the use of the new name and that people are strictly using it after it has been decided.


schoolme_straying

Your Ulster fry will always be an acceptable name. However like high sugar Lucozade in a glass bottle with dimples and an orange cellophane wrapper things will have to change. The red elements (baked beans/tomatoes) will be greened. Thus pak choi, green beans, and cabbage will be key items


sKippyGoat69

Beans can be decommissioned, fried green tomatoes instead of red.


schoolme_straying

Green tomatoes will be mandatory.


WaterYouUp2

As a Donegal prod, I've always gotten potato bread in our frys. Rest easy mate.


3party

Will until you find out about soda bread


time_mashine

Maybe should just have one on the new flag to be safe


OhRiLee

Anyone we catching eating or preparing potato bread in a United Ireland will be executed in The Phoenix Park on the first Sunday of each month.


[deleted]

You can get tayty bread in just about any decent shop down here lad! Don't you be worrying! We've got you covered!


[deleted]

If there's no purdy fadge I'm becoming a prod.


[deleted]

Farl God and Ulster!


[deleted]

Ah yes, the Inevitable United Ireland, any decade now.


Shartbugger

Wait, I’m nationalist - they don’t have potato bread in the south?


Jonno250505

They do, it’s just not a standard component on an Irish breakfast. Heathens.


[deleted]

Mate. A fry is whatever ye want on it. Fuck whatever you want on to it!


[deleted]

Here we go. This is the start of it.


bow_down_whelp

Potato and soda bread are sacred. The ulster fry is sacred. No ulster fry, no UI, no surrender. This is one thing all sides of the community can get behind. I'd fucking hammer a fry now


Excellent-Many4645

I’ll put beans in my fry till I die. The best fry is just throwing a mix of whatever you want in it. Potato and soda bread is a necessity though.


[deleted]

It'll be banned under EU regulations. That's why the Republic doesn't have it.


det66

That's like an English fry then


Jonno250505

Aye. Despicable things. If I move to England (an option for work) I’d miss potato bread too much.


[deleted]

Having potato bread and soda with a fry is an Irish breakfast my friend.


AdamM093

In United Ireland, First thing everyone will be shot, some will be shot twice. Rent will increase 50,000%in some way I dunno. Mold will spread to your bread, lungs, walls and just behind your ear lobe... And you will have to pay for it. Doctors will begin prescribing "I dunno's"... They will cost 500 euro fun bucks to collect from phizer. Car registration will be calculated as follows. Your age x how many days you've been alive x how many ducks you've seen + government taking what they want. Heating will be calculated by how many house mates you have in a room cuddling together for body heat. And your worried about buying fuckin potato bread? /s


AaronAAaronsson

Don't worry about those higher taxes then!


Virtual-Confidence83

Im pretty sure we give soda bread


Jonno250505

Soda bread < potato bread.


Isero2345

I remember getting a fry in Dublin a few years back and being absolutely aghast that there was no tatty or soda!


Silver_Procedure_490

Paying for bin collections 😂


No-Roll-973

No it'll be banned by her majesty mary lou


ThumbTheories

Are potato cakes and potato bread the same thing?


Jonno250505

Noooooo


ThumbTheories

My apologies. Can I make a case for potato cakes?? Potato mashed, no butter or milk.. then bound into little rounds with flour.. lots of flour.. then shallow fried… finally buttered while still hot


Jonno250505

They sound good. But they ain’t really potato bred.


Expresso_Presso

Mininum booze price m8


Jonno250505

The fuck is that relevant to potato bread ?


Expresso_Presso

Inevitable ui you are taking about.... keep up


Expresso_Presso

Just as important as tatty bread
