Jameson is usually the preferred one for Dubliners, what with it having been the local one originally (before they became a big conglomerate). One of my relatives prefers Paddy, though (Cork brand).

I was able to cook most of this at a young age. Only preferred the bacon and sausage at the time, because that was all my stomach could handle . . .

Your breakfast looks pretty good - except for those black things on the front of the plate.

What is that?

Minus the beans, that is the traditional Irish breakfast that was served at every B&B my wife and I stayed at when we visited Ireland a few years ago. I neglected the black pudding (blood sausage) and mushrooms. My wife grew up in England, but even she abstained from the pudding. However, like a true denizen of the British Isles, she does like her beans on toast. Just not for breakfast.
