Full breakfast

The full Irish Rashers, sausages, eggs, black and white pudding, grilled tomato and mushrooms, with toast or soda bread and a strong pot of tea. Rashers are back bacon, meatier than American strips, and the white pudding, a pork and oatmeal sausage with no blood in it, is the part visitors go home talking about. At home the trick is timing rather than skill: get the puddings and sausages going low and slow, then do the eggs last so nothing sits waiting. It is a weekend breakfast or a hangover cure, not a Tuesday habit.
