Full English/Irish breakfast? Food

Anyone know if you can get a full English/Irish breakfast anywhere in Eugene? I’m looking for the whole shebang: beans, eggs, black and white pudding, English bacon, potatoes…. Thanks!

A hearty tradition at its finest. Corned beef hash, Scotch egg, Irish bacon, blood sausage, beans and tomato topped with a poached egg and a slice of soda bread with the cinnamon honey butter.

Hmmm...

Nothing like breakfast at 4 PM. Why even offer it if you’re only going to have it those hours?

It was the starting time of 11PM that I found more curious.

Your reading comprehension skills are far superior to mine.

That is opening time for them.

They open in the middle of the night?

You know 11PM is the one an hour before midnight right?

I think you mean 11AM, which is the one in the morning an hour before noon.

Yah, I saw that, after you pointed it out and I have probably been blocking it out for years.

Went there today about 1 PM hoping for the Irish breakfast. Waitress said they were all out for today, so I asked her how early I needed to get there to be sure of getting it. She said they are “first come first served”, and sometimes they are out by 11:15. The shepherds pie was great though!

Went today based on this thread. Partner for the Irish breakfast, I got shepherd's pie.

Pie was delightful. I wasn't afforded the ability to eat the Irish breakfast, he usually shares but today was just too good to share I guess 🤣 he had nothing but positive things to say. And my kid wants to steal that soda bread recipe.

Neither corned beef hash nor scotch eggs are Irish, and while scotch eggs are British they are also very gross. Corned beef hash is yummy at least though

Edit: love getting downvoted for facts. Such a good community vibe in this subreddit!

I didn't down vote you but I've always associated corned beef with Ireland or at least Irish food viewed through our Americanized version of St Patrick's day.

Corned beef is definitely very Irish, but corned beef hash is an American invention! I’m pretty sure it was invented in Boston (probably by Irish immigrants) and it is super yummy but as someone who has lived in Ireland I can tell you for sure it’s not something you can actually find over there. When I asked about it once at a pub I was met with a blank stare, and an Irish friend made fun of me for bringing it up, so that was my first indication that it was not actually Irish, or at least, traditionally Irish.

Getting downvoted for dissing scotch eggs. How can you not like an egg crusted sausage and deep fried?

u/South-Violinist Nov 08 '21

I mean I’m clearly in the minority here, but everything about scotch eggs just sounds gross to me. I just can’t abide by them
