english or irish breakfast

[glenis]

full english breakfast or full irish breakfast what is the difference between the two?

When I've been to Ireland, I find that they don't really bother with mushrooms or tomatoes that much, but they do have the wonderful white pudding.  Can't really remember them doing fried bread either, they have nice soda bread as well

I've been to Ireland a lot and the the two are pretty much the same, the only regular difference is that the Irish breakfast has white pudding, I've never seen it in England as standard. Otherwise the same.

Not sure what the english one consists of but here in ireland its usually sausages, bacon, eggs, mushrooms, baked beans, soda bread and potato bread.

We've been to Ireland too & the Hotel's full breakfast was exactly the same as our full English - delish!

Smudge, I have only 5 words for you based on this morning's TV viewing:

Delia Smith Rhubarb Crumble Icecream.

A "traditional" cooked breakfast would never contain baked beans.

It does in Ireland!

In Scotland you can get a full scottish breakfast. It's basically all the same stuff wherever you are - a cooked breakfast - it's just called different things. I mean you wouldn't expect a scot to serve up a full english would you?
