What's Inside a Breakfast Roll?
A breakfast roll usually has a special kind of bread, like a long roll or a baguette. Inside, it's packed with delicious fillings.
Common Fillings
Some of the most common things you'll find in a breakfast roll include:
- Sausages: Usually small, fried sausages.
- Bacon: Crispy strips of bacon.
- Pudding: This can be white pudding or black pudding. These are traditional Irish foods made from different ingredients, often including oats or barley.
- Eggs: Often a fried egg, sometimes scrambled.
- Hash browns: Crispy potato patties.
- Mushrooms: Fried mushrooms add an earthy flavor.
- Tomatoes: Sliced or grilled tomatoes.
- Sauces: Many people add tomato sauce or brown sauce for extra taste.
Sometimes, you might also find baked beans in your roll!
The Bread
The roll itself can be different types:
- A soft, long roll, often called a "submarine" roll.
- A chunky, round dinner roll.
- A demi-baguette, which is a smaller version of a French baguette.
Many shops get these demi-baguettes partly baked and frozen. This means they can quickly bake them fresh for you right when you order, making the roll warm and crusty!
Where Can You Find Breakfast Rolls?
Breakfast rolls are super easy to find all over Ireland. They are a staple in many convenience stores, newsagents, and even larger supermarkets. They are a favorite quick meal for students, workers, and anyone looking for a filling breakfast or lunch. It's like Ireland's answer to a fast-food breakfast, but often made with fresh, local ingredients.
