The Burrit'o Stall

As Alamo

Carrots, parsnips, bacon, cabbage

A sausage drowned in ketchup and some pudding and we're done.

I can see a visit to El Toro Loco in my future next time I'm home.

Due to the current "anti-meat fad", the government has broadcasted television advertisements to discourage meat consumption. In the north, the Ulster fry has been particularly cited as being a major source for a higher incidence of cardiac problems, quoted as being a "heart attack on a plate". All the ingredients are fried, although more recently the trend is to grill as many of the ingredients as possible. These advertisements however, do not explain the health and vigor of native Irish people while eating their traditional diets high in both fat and meat.[28]

what's the diff between an "ulster fry" and just a "fry"? i refuse to believe ni catholics aren't killing themselves with 2x rashers eggs sausages plus beans and chips/bread/tea on a daily basis.

jesus christ

what the fuck do you want? what do you think you're achieving here?

3000 DEAD man, DEAD.

LET IT GO

ps it's mainly farls and/or a fried soda slice, we have done this

yeah i remember lengthy discussion of regional breakfast variations

lolz

i don't recall this even tho every food topic is done to death on ilx. farls are more common now south of the border. they fry a slice of soda bread? intriguing.

xpost i don't remember the exact ulster fry diff being discussed, tho i remember a discussion along these lines.

it's slightly overblown tbh, mainly cos of religion

tho tbh, change the demographics of the country all you like, i can't see the muslim fry ever really taking off

RFI: The Traditional Irish Fry-Up

christ im hungry

do catholics in the north refrain from farls/fried slices of soda bread?

8 years ago. ffs.

They surely don't fry soda bread? Disgusting savages.

i've definitely had is as part of an ulster fry, tho maybe it was an admin error tbf

they saw you were an outsider.

yeah i had the roi plates on the car- we were just nipping through on a shortcut getting to donegal, i didn't see the harm. jesus, i was such a fool!

we were lucky to get out without our eggs broken

So, apparently British people don't understand the word "banjaxed"!

Banjaxed Britain

They all reflexively agreed with u and tutted that jaxed was very dangerous whatever it was

not only am i familiar with the word but i can tell you that Terry Wogan wrote a book of that title in the 70s

Yeah I'm familiar with the word also.

nobody in my office knew it. i mailed my entire editorial team cos i was going to use it in a headline. nobody had ever heard of it.

dictionary says it's american in origin.

Basement Banjaxed

I love that one of the references for "banjaxed" (here: http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/banjaxed) is

Martin McGuinness was known to have confessed in October 1994 to the Irish Prime Minister: "We know the arms will have to be banjaxed.

banjaxing for peace

armalite and the banjax box

"will have to be banjaxed" is an odd way of putting it. In my experience things become banjaxed but you do not actively banjax them

OED says "Etymology unknown; perhaps originally Dublin slang". Going to try using it at work, maybe I can sneak something like this into a paper:

1968 Observer 29 Dec. 19/1 You completely banjax the whole psychological impact.

OED has lots of examples of transitive 'banjax', though it does seem odd to me:

1969 G. Lyall Venus with Pistol viii. 48 The man is a twit. I mean, he banjaxed that Zurich trip.
1972 New Yorker 28 Oct. 40/1 Ha-ha, so she ups and banjaxed the old man one night with a broken spade handle.
1976 U. Holden String Horses viii. 102 The dawn suicide the day before had made a lot of work and worry, had banjaxed things for a while.
1979 T. Wogan Banjaxed (1980) 78, I am out to banjax the bookies.
