Mr Harrop and friends are misinforming them on twitter:

You most certainly can get an Ulster Fry in Ulster! My mum makes a great one. It’s basically a fry up with extra soda bread and potato farls and pancakes. You need a good lie down after eating it. Grin

Love me some square sausage on a roll. Didn't David Tennant have a go at it at some point as being disgusting? Not a wise move there, pal.

What's an Ulster Fry and why can't you get it in Ireland?

Bet they have mustard on a fish finger sandwich...

Steady on. I know things are a bit tense but that's quite the assumption to have about anyone.

I may/not be praising all the little fishes Errol as it's currently raining so nobody is likely to want to assassinate me for putting the oven on at bread baking temperatures (see Morning Roll recipe).

If Bird's Eye could offer regional specialities - a range of frozen, stuffed morning rolls. There are some in my house who'd like to get their jaws around the doubler that terryleather described. The Liverpudlian offering would be a barm cake with a doubler filling of bacon and Ulster Fry (I've never found the latter anywhere but Liverpool).

You may not want to believe it Errol and who would, but that doesn't mean it's not happening...FFS-with-mustard-eaters walk among us, I'm absolutely sure of thatGrin

ErrolTheDragon · 29/07/2018 00:04

I refuse to believe anyone has mustard on an FFS.

Is that tiresome narcissistic still at it??

Stale Glasgow rolls are brilliant for making breadcrumbs fyi...that article is great Errol thanks for the link!

ErrolTheDragon · 28/07/2018 22:43

(I'm sure Birds Eye won't have minded a bit of a diversion onto things other than soft sliced white for encasing their products)

ErrolTheDragon · 28/07/2018 22:40

As a clueless Sassenach I had to google and found this which will inform the ignorant but also may be of interest those yearning for a roll as it includes a recipe

My dad and I used to fight over the most well-fired morning roll.

He'd put up a spirited fight but he'd always let me win in the end. Smile

Sorry, this is a merail.

I confess that I have no Birds Eye material to draw on.

terryleather · 28/07/2018 21:54

Yet another reason to love Birds Eye, frog!

frogface69 · 28/07/2018 21:51

My DM worked for Bird's-eye in the 1960s. Most of the employees were women. Jobs there were like gold dust, they were very good to work for. Don't think they are there anymore, now the trawlers have gone.
The factory was immaculate, and cleaners were well paid and had same benefits as everyone else.
I have always bought Bird's-eye.

terryleather · 28/07/2018 21:50

Yes arran, usually call them Morton's rolls cause they make the best ones - there is nothing like a doubler with Stornaway black pudding & square sausage (or Lorne if you will) and brown sauce.

I'm not a fan of the well fired ones but I understand that their fans love them!

AsAProfessionalFekko · 28/07/2018 21:42

I love a well fired morning roll. Mmmm

arranfan · 28/07/2018 21:40

well-fired morning roll

The people who don't understand well-fired and consider it a euphemism for burned.

What would I give for a well-fired morning roll for breakfast tomorrow with some mushrooms and tomato.

Popchyk · 28/07/2018 21:33

Ahhh, I used to love a well-fired morning roll.

TheCountryGirl · 28/07/2018 21:29

Thanks to Birds Eye's stance so far, I filled my new chest freezer with their products today (rather than my usual Young's and Donegal Catch). If they keep this up, they have a loyal customer in me - a mother of four young children!

terryleather wrote stuffed in a crispy Glasgow roll

Is that a crispy morning roll? Something I've missed for so many years?

terryleather · 28/07/2018 21:01

I will hunt them down in Asda, thanks for the tip!

Ereshkigal · 28/07/2018 18:22

Ooh that sounds great! I think they have them in Asda.

terryleather · 28/07/2018 15:36

They are sooooo delish Eresh, I used to eat them stuffed in a crispy Glasgow roll with too much butter on it. I think I'm going to have to search them out again for some old school frozen food action...

Ereshkigal · 28/07/2018 15:06

Ooh I love those too!

terryleather · 27/07/2018 19:27

Did Birds Eye do those cauliflower cheese bake/grill things - I ate loads of those back in the day and this thread has put them back in my mind...yum...

Ereshkigal · 27/07/2018 01:41

Those vegetable fingers have been around for ever. I lived on them when I was younger. With chips and beans or potatoes and veg or whatever. When I was a student my favourite thing was a couple of those cooked really crispy and cut up, with fried egg and chilli sauce in a pitta bread. They have them in the local shop so will have to make that again!
