Breakfast roll

Breakfast roll

The breakfast roll is generally considered a cheap and convenient version of a traditional fry-up. It can be purchased at a wide variety of petrol stations, local newsagents, supermarkets, and eateries throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. They are especially popular on weekend mornings as a hangover cure.

A breakfast roll may typically consist of a bread roll containing one or more fillings such as sausages, rashers of bacon, fried eggs, white and/or black pudding, butter, and ketchup. In some cases a hash brown can be added. Brown sauce can also be included. The roll itself is usually one of two varieties: a soft "submarine"-type roll, or a demi-baguette. The demi-baguettes are distributed to shops part-baked and frozen, and so quick baking in-store achieves a "freshly baked" roll (although late in the day, rolls baked in the morning may be "soggy"). An "all-day breakfast" sandwich featuring some or all of the above ingredients in a traditional sandwich of sliced bread may be used instead. Breakfast paninis are also available.

The popularity of the breakfast roll (and novelty songs) in Ireland lead to the song Jumbo Breakfast Roll by Comedian Pat Shortt, which reached number one in the Irish music charts and remained there for six weeks.
