My mum asked us up to the house for a fry, she said she wasn’t feeling great and apologised for forgetting toast and sausages (she’s 73). Continued below…

This is the minimum bread requirement for an Ulster fry for 4 people. Obviously there's two eggs with each plate as standard and usually 8 butchers sausages and 8 slices of back bacon on the table and beans can be requested. A contentious issue in the North of Ireland, potentially due to their colour. Mandatory breaddage includes Soda farl (a farl cuts into halves or quarters), Wheaten farl and Potato bread (cuts into halves), otherwise known as the holy trinity. Fried tomato is also optional.
