One of Ulster's (Northern Ireland)most famous dishes embracing the best of local produce - bacon, sausages, eggs and breads. Primarily a breakfast dish but popular at any time of day with a few additions like chops, steak, kidneys, liver, tomatoes and mushrooms.
What makes the Ulster fry distinctive from any other fry-up is the addition of farls, potato cakes and usually a scotch pancake, therefore much more emphasis on carbohydrates.
A typical fry for one person will consist of:
2 sausages
2 bacon rashers
2 slices black or white pudding
1/2 farl and/or soda bread
potato cake
scotch pancake
1-2 large eggs
It will often be accompanied by toast too.......... just in case the fry-eater should feel a little peckish!
When she ordered her cooked breakfast, Ruth was amazed at the amount of bread products on her plate! This was her first encounter with the famous Ulster fry!

Beware the Ulster Fry side, it is more seductive, and will give you a heart attack by the time you're 45

1. An unexplainably scrumptious breakfast, invented by the good men and women of Ulster. Best eaten as a treat on Sunday morning.
2. A sickening ulsterism (local speak) for a mans exterior reproductive organs.

1. OHHHHH. I’ve never experienced a more heavenly Ulster Fry.
2. A large pack of ferrets just attacked my Ulster Fry.

More of a dialec than a language derived form Scottish settlers living in Northern Ireland.
Some bright wee prod realised that the catholics were getting EU money for speaking Gaelic and decided they wanted a piece of the pie too!

"The ultimate DIY language", as a local politician once eloquently put it.
A 'dialect' supposed to be derived from that of Scottish settlers who came to Ireland a long time ago, however it's actually not a language at all, and sounds laughably more like someone merely speaking slang words in a Ballymena farmer's accent..
Interestingly though, governments seem to be fooled by this quest for lingual recognition, and are happy to throw money at the cause ! Maybe they're just happy that they're doing something other than drug dealing and whacking each other for a change....

Ulster Scots:
"Ey boy, whers tha wife the day ?"
"ah... shi'll b back air at home wi tha waynes !"
English Translation:
"Hey mate, wheres your wife today ?"
"Aha, she'll be back there at home with the children."
"Ey boy, whers tha wife the day ?"
"ah... shi'll b back air at home wi tha waynes !"
