Home > Ulster fry
The Ulster Fry is seen by many as the national dish of Northern Ireland, although it is popular throughout Ulster, and farther afield also. The Ulster Fry consists of bacon, egg, sausage (can be either pork or beef), the farl form of soda bread (split the farl in half acrossways to expose the inner bread and fry the exposed side down), potato bread and fried tomato. Additional ingredients may be added, such as black pudding, white pudding, mushrooms, wheaten bread and pancakes. All this is traditionally fried up in lard, though many people just use sunflower or vegetable oil these days.
Unlike the fry in England the Ulster Fry is not just a breakfast dish, though it can be served for breakfast, and it is often served up for lunch and dinner in households and cafes around the country.
