Today, I learned that English and Irish breakfasts are very similar.

[@lolololo307]

Tinyfată Irish is the poor man's English

[@challengers222]

Tinyfată No fried bread and white pudding like they have in Ireland = epic fail for me.

[@challengers222]

Harris M Ok Brit that's enough. Didn't your ignorant MP's on Sky News this week embarrass you enough?

[@challengers222]

Rowdy Jr. I don't mind many English people as an Irish person. But unfortunately many of them, including many of their polticians, choose to be ignorant and arseholes towards Ireland.

[@garvinanders2355]

There's a lot of history between the two islands which can make things a bit complex. England used to rule Ireland and the Irish people won their independence only after generations of struggle. Couple that with being right next to each other and you have a lot of shared experiences as well as dividing experiences.

[@Marklinsf]

You know what would have been nice? A break down of what each breakfast contains.. Just say'in.

[@michaelduggan9347]

Ageed, Mark. The video was funny. But yes, that part would have been interesting and possibly informative too.

[@adammoore251]

Fried Tomato, Sausage, Eggs, Pudding. Baked beans sometimes shrooms, buttered toast and a big cup of Tea.

[@futavadumnezo]

Yeah I mean...they both look the same

[@FallenPhoenix86]

They more or less are... English/Irish/Scottish cooked breakfasts are about 80% identical, just a few regional variations such as hash browns, boxty or potato scones,

[@BentGear]

Mark McCormick literally thought the same

[@phillytiger]

Is anyone else screaming "Its the same frickin thing!"?

[@sponge260]

It's not though

[@johnprice7303]

Its not the same, English sausages are plumper, though not quite as tasty as the Irish banger, also the Irish breakfast will feature white pudding as well as black pudding. Personally I enjoy either version... so long as they not include the accursed baked beans.

[@andyastrand]

The full English breakfast was really devised back in Victorian times to feed Irish workers building the road network because they needed so many calories

[@josie3221]

You’re not wrong in saying they’re very similar, but they’re not identical.

[@bloat1235]

@@johnprice7303 Yeah there are differences but they are very very similar, and one of the Irish girls acted like the English breakfast was super disgusting and way worse than the Irish when there is hardly a difference.

[@tomboston9669]

I always thought a Full Irish breakfast and a Full English breakfast were essentially the same thing except the English adds baked beans and mushrooms. I guess I was wrong about that. I was hoping to find out exactly what the differences might be but I'm still waiting to find out. Cute video but really lacking on the specifics.

[@timstevens9474]

Lmao. "You can hear Sinead O'Connor screaming" I'm dying. 😂

[@minir.3182]

Interesting fact; I'm a quebecoise. Means I'm from the Province of Quebec in Canada. We speak french, are catholics, etc etc. But we don't eat french breakfast. We always kept the english type of breakfast. You know, saucages eggs tomatoes potatoes etc. The salty breakfast. French breakfast is more like croissants or white bread with anything suggary. Chocolat or jam. I'm so happy we are not doing that. Well...now people are doing it more. It became more popular. Another thing my mother was pointing out during a conversation we had about how we are a mixted culture between frenchs and english, that coffee is something fairly new to our culture. She said that as a young girl in the fifties or sixties, they were drinking tea at home. Everybody did. I know my ancestors did too. Coffee became a thing in the 70ties I guess.

[@stuartcampbell8220]

Probably should use the English flag seeing as it’s not a competition against Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

[@AmirKhan-vx3mz]

I was about to point out this.

[@frankstein7631]

super stitious ASMR Wales was regarded as part of England(by the English) long before the Union Flag ever appeared,thus it was not represented separately on the Union Flag.

[@frankstein7631]

super stitious ASMR Cross of St George, the white diagonal cross of St. Andrew and(post 1801)the cross of St. Patrick, a red saltire on a white background.

"they have to be irish beans..." "Isn't it like Heinz across the board though" As a Yinzer I can say with confidence Heinz is not an irish company.

[@lindaeasley4336]

It is an American company . Former US secretary of state John Kerry was married to the Heinz heir

[@frankstein7631]

D. Parks Long ago Heinz set up a British division,probably back in the twenties. She probably meant Bachelors who once canned in Ireland but are now just a multinational owned brand. In either case the beans for Britain and Ireland are usually grown in Italy and may be canned there or locally.

[@OmeCoatl054]

Yinzer?

[@stephkelly75]

Bachelors beans are much more popular here in Ireland than Heinz.

[@bazzatron143]

I think that was her point, there are no Irish beans. Heinz are generally the most popular bean brand. Although as someone has pointed out the Irish also go for Batchelors beans in a big way.

[@silviechlumcova5126]

The irish breakfast is divine. During my (too short) stay in Dublin, I’ve had it twice - at the start and in the end - and I nearly found myself in tears. Too good and because I love Ireland and I miss that country terribly, too emotional as well.

[@seanpadraigobrien1260]

[@elston1174]

Angry Applesauce Obscurity? All the countries outside are Europe are unknown and poor. No. So, a country outside of Europe is one of obscurity. Britain knows how to run things, they ran most of the world, and this gave birth to the west. I think they'll be fine without Europe 😂😂😂 all the hate is coming from small countries, that'll have to get their funding elsewhere. Furthermore, the Irish aren't exactly known for politics are they? Our voice is extremely small in the world, and they're trying to get their voice back. Were still fighting over Catholicism and Protestantism, something they were doing in the 1500s . It would benefit us if we left Europe too. Other countries, so as ourselves should see opportunity.

You are harkening back to days of enslavement, destruction, colonialism, mass theft, and assimilation. Many of the peoples who now proudly live and work to make England and the UK great weren't even considered PEOPLE back then. You were only able to rule the world because you did so ruthlessly and with no regard for what cultures and kingdoms were left in ruins. You may pine for the days of colonialism but the rest of us are happier to be freed from it. I wish you all the best in the Brexit, but from an international perspective it was a clear mistake. I can only hope the seperation is handled in a way that doesn't damage the day to day lives of your citizens.

With the exception of the black pudding, both British and Irish breakfasts are a treat for me. The major difference I found are the mushrooms/grilled tomatoes and the type of banger. The rest seems very much the same. By far, my favorite portion of it is the white pudding. Whenever I go into an Irish pub in the states, I almost always order a breakfast. Occasionally I will have the bangers and mash, fish and chips or a stew and once I had a chicken sandwich ONLY because a friend boasted about it. However, each time I didn't have the breakfast, I WISH I had. It's a shame so many Americans have never tried either version of breakfast. In fact, this video has my mouth watering for one right now. Frankly, if all people had to eat were alternating American, Irish and English breakfasts, life would be extremely pleasant.

[@gatomallow3904]

Jeffrey Kever they all look the same but might be made with different ingredients depending on what is in their area

[@melchristensen8282]

The sausages would have been really different and so would the black pudding - black puddings can really vary here because they all have different spices involved. One of my parents can't stand dennys black pudding but will only aim for denny's sausages for example. (I love Denny's white pudding but can't stand other brands whereas I'll eat any kind of black pudding- Dennys has a very smooth white pudding etcetc) I know someone who swears by Clonakilty black pudding. Also, the hash browns should have been a dead giveaway tbh. Irish full breakfasts don't traditionally have hash browns at all. Beans would have tasted the same I think. Rashers/bacon may not have varied much either. Seeing as Ireland and England have developed alongside each other and have had such close ties over the centuries, a lot of our foods mirror each other. It's a Thing That Happened. tl;dr a lot of similarities but certain flavor profiles would have been different to people who are familiar with them.

[@jrd33]

[@Ms_Br]

whats the difference between full irish and english breakfast?

[@natfingerboard]

how can you eat a full meal as breakfast, I would go back to sleep imediatelly after.

[@pearse9116]

Both are nothing compared to an Ulster Fry. Potato bread is the most important part of the meal.

[@edwardysw]

A close up shot would be great.

[@theevilascotcompany9255]

I've been watching all of these videos, and their accents become 1000% stronger when eating Irish food.

[@SkippoSkippo]

Not watching this till I get my six counties back!

[@VIDSTORAGE]

I never thought breakfast would be a challenge of English vs Irish ..

[@matthill5426]

@TOP DAWG Clearly the phrase "800 years of oppression" has never come up in your casual conversation. :D

[@sandorski56]

You have just been added to them as part of Britain. Facts failed...[/spoiler]

[@challengers222]

TOP DAWG Anytime Facts includes English content, Irish people lose interest because we already know everything there is to know about them and it's not exotic at all. Oh but they know absolutely nothing about the Irish as emphasized this week. XD

[@challengers222]

You know what they say about the English: give them an inch and they will run a mile with your entire country!

[@Russellgr64]

I spent 8 days in Ireland. Its a wonderful country. I liked the white pudding, but the black pudding was ok. The irish sausage was kind of bland, not enough spices in it. The bacon is different than american bacon, but was good.

[@challengers222]

russell Oh you can get spicy sausages in Ireland, the Superquinn ones are yummy! Depends on the individual establishment and unfortunately in restaurants they tend to play safe and go plain because children and people with digestive problems might complain.

[@challengers222]

russell I actually prefer American bacon btw, I like it crispy!

[@eimearinez]

Your bland is my tasty that’s thing about English sausages they’re way to spicy takes away from actual taste of the meat in the sausages plus Irish sauages are always pork while English sausages can be lamb,beef or anything really!!

[@blackcountryme]

@@eimearinez not really, if you want pork sausage you buy pork, same as beef, even turkey (!). I draw the line at the vegetarian variety.

[@bryanmiller469]

I fixed a Irish, German, Scottish breakfasts for my girlfriend and she loved the Irish one and we stayed together for 6 years and thank you.

[@ErnieKings27]

1:42 😂😂😂😂😂 take away their passports now!

[@tbirum]

Bye Bye Ryan, now you have to go and move to "Northen Ireland"

[@Parallaxus]

He can move to England, and if he gets their breakfast wrong, they'll ship him to Australia like they did to people in the good ole days.

[@challengers222]

Parallaxus My Australian cousins can vouch. Whenever they come to Ireland, it's a source of bragging. XD

[@thegray5730]

Thumbs up just for Irish Jesus say'n God damn it.

[@a1yssum]

More like Dad damn it

[@kcunningham064]

In the ulster fry we have soda bread and tattie bread. This is normally instead of toast.

[@theoldanarchist]

"If this is Irish, it's Protestant Irish." That was beautiful.

[@rlam905]

What?! No Lucky Charms?

[@michaelpytel3280]

Served in Bowl of Irish Whisky.

[@ki369]

please try caribbean food

[@josephsheldon8582]

To the people that keep commenting, yes they are very similar. We’ve all had a lot of mixing over the years so when one country got something new it usually spread to all the others. I think in total there is an English breakfast (original), Scottish breakfast, Irish breakfast, Welsh breakfast, Cornish breakfast and a Ulster fry

[@beppo1953]

Does am irish breakfast not include potato farls instead of hash browns?

[@evershineknightley3785]

The best meal to eat, all over the world, is breakfast 🙋🏻👍🏼👌🏼🍽

[@Elwould23]

Breakfast is the best thing to have for dinner

[@getin3949]

I wonder if the Irish and the British, etc. know why tomatoes were included on every breakfast plate in the U.K. many, many years ago and how it got started. ???? Want the answer??

[@challengers222]

get in Ireland =/= UK my friend

[@Dani_Reasor]

I would imagine the tomatoes are a good way to add some Vitamin C to the plate. We tend to take cheap oranges and grapefruits for granted here in the States, where they don't have to be shipped as far.

[@gristlevonraben]

I would like the answer, please.

[@andym28]

Daniel Reasor Haha I'm sure when it's fried to shit mate the nutrition goes

[@jpw6893]

Andy M tomotoes are actually better for you when cooked.

[@jozefivanov600]

This was confusing. I don't understand who was right or who was wrong or their reactions at the end, I just didnt understand what was going on. At first it seemed straightforward, like they are guessing which is which, but then the second half was like.... ??? They raised the signs again randomly after already having guessed both dishes, and the reactions to whether they were right or wrong. I'm just confused by the way it was set up. I dont even understand who won or lost.

[@beth8775]

I don't know the specific differences, but it all looked pretty good to me. I love breakfast.

[@thegsm3486]

Pre-Notification Squad?

[@denisegale4756]

I have had both breakfasts and didn’t really taste any difference they were both delicious. However on our last day staying in the Blarney hotel the waiter asked if we would like some bread and he brought out soda bread! Well I tried my very first soda bread and thought I had arrived in heaven, so if you want to compare breads the Irish definitely win as our British version is pretty bland in comparison but the breakfast are the same really in my opinion😁

[@johnprice7303]

I am going home to visit my brother in Ireland next Sunday (2/8/2020) he will have an Irish (hopping on the plate) breakfast waiting for me (no baked beans as I hate the bloody things)I will also have a one-pint mug of the strongest, hottest tea imaginable waiting for me. It is certainly 'heart attack on a plate' stuff but at age 73 I have little to lose. Oh! I forgot to mention 'Chef sauce'.

[@MyDarkSide62]

YES - Chef Sauce!!!!!

[@armouredoutlaw1537]

So what is the difference, different sausages and hash browns?

[@daveruddell4889]

Looks like Jesus is getting deported...

[@eddygrey350]

I need more Irish folks in my life. These folks are delightful.

[@sarahdotson2521]

😂😂

[@colleenforrest7936]

Wouldn't it be easier to scoop up your hash brows if you used the bowl of your fork instead of the back?

[@mariellenerder7863]

oooh do the welsh one as well? :D

[@joanna4499]

English is amazing like the hash brown is lit

[@Chris66able]

English breakfast should not have hash browns.

[@slayerrocks2]

No. Now, bubble'n'squeak, maybe.

[@gavbox4289]

that fella with the hat is losing his passport

[@skittleswolf2ify]

Video and audio quality seemed a bit off at the beginning

[@smalltownsessions2072]

Would it be that much trouble to edit in a bird's-eye shot of the breakfasts side by side so we could actually see them ourselves...!?
