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.

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.
