the full irish

This picture of a fry caused a massive debate about beans in full Irish breakfasts

Dividing the whole internet, it would appear.

YESTERDAY, AN AMERICAN visitor to Ireland posted a few images of food he sampled during his stay here – and they quickly skyrocketed on Imgur to over 300,000 views.

Chief amongst them was this delicious looking full Irish breakfast:

In the comment section of Reddit’s /r/food, a friendly debate started as to whether those baked beans should be on the plate. Some thought they were imposters, while others defended the beans.

First a hypothetical set of arguments about what makes a true full Irish was put forward

This Irish person rarely uses beans though

The discussion boiled down to beans – yes or no

So that just leaves us with this burning question: do you take beans in your full Irish?
