Breakfast is the first meal of a day, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day´s work. Some believe it is the most important meal of the day.
Among
English speakers, "breakfast" can be used to refer to this meal or to
refer to a meal composed of traditional breakfast foods (such as eggs, porridge
and sausage) served at any time of day.
There is an old motto that says “Eat breakfast like a King, lunch like
a prince and dine like a pauper” meaning it is wise to start the day with a
large cooked breakfast. Such a motto could very much be applied to the
traditional full Irish Breakfast.
A large cooked breakfast of meat (bacon, sausages and black and white
puddings), eggs, vegetables and potato all fried in creamery butter, it is
served with a generous helping of homemade Irish soda ,brown bread or toast for soakage and washed down with a
strong cup of breakfast tea such as Barry or Lyons tea (depending where you
are) and a glass of orange juice.
