Anyone want to tell Birdseye they appreciate freedom of speech and women's rights

Mr Harrop and friends are misinforming them on twitter:

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

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

terryleather wrote stuffed in a crispy Glasgow roll

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

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!

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

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.

I love a well fired morning roll. Mmmm

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!

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.

Yet another reason to love Birds Eye, frog!

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.

Sorry, this is a merail.

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

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

(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)

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

Lily has jumped on the transwagon too

Is that tiresome narcissistic still at it??

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

I refuse to believe anyone has mustard on an FFS.

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 that

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).

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?

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.

So not just in Liverpool after all, then! I'm not keen on the baked beans or any sausage other then the square kind for breakfast but will happily hoover up any leftover potato related goodies or bread.

Many people think that an Ulster Fry is the full cooked breakfast with potato farls and soda bread, e.g., Ulster Fry

In Liverpool, Ulster Fry is a meat product that is like a thinly-sliced not-chorizo with red rind in larger, non-circular form and it's typically purchased from a supermarket deli (along with liver sausage which should be fried as part of a mixed grill along with black pudding etc.). The only place that I know that sell it don't have a photograph: Blood's Ulster Fry (Lockwood's of Liverpool mention it but, again, no photograph. You'd think it's a regional shame or something.)

Some people offer tinned bacon fry as a substitute for Ulster Fry. They are to be pitied yet abjured.

x-posted - just in time to see someone post about the other Ulster Fry :)

Mind, I'm easy - proper Ulster Fry in a well-fired morning roll, a stottie, Staffordshire oatcake - my lot would be fighting like gannets.

I can feel a stock up on chicken dippers and fishfingers coming on
