The breakfast roll ( Irish: rollóg bhricfeasta, [ˈɾˠoːl̪ˠoːɡ ˈvʲɾʲɪcˌfʲasˠt̪ˠə]) is a bread roll filled with elements of a traditional fried breakfast. It is served at a wide variety of convenience shops, newsagents, supermarkets, petrol stations, and casual eateries throughout Ireland. [4] [5] [6] [7]
A breakfast roll typically consists of a bread roll or baguette containing one or more fillings such as sausages, bacon, white or black pudding, butter, mushrooms, tomatoes and tomato sauce or brown sauce. [8] In some cases a hash brown or fried egg may be added; these fillings vary between cooks and restaurants. The roll itself is usually one of three varieties: a soft "submarine"-type roll, a chunky, spherical dinner roll or a demi-baguette. The demi-baguettes are distributed to shops partially baked and frozen, allowing stores to quickly bake the bread for a "freshly baked" roll. An "all-day breakfast" sandwich featuring some or all of the above ingredients in a traditional sandwich of sliced bread may be used instead.[ citation needed]
The popularity of the breakfast roll (and novelty songs) in Ireland led 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. [9] The song was number 11 on the Irish chart list of best-selling songs of the 2000s. [10]
It has been argued that the breakfast roll became a national dish in Ireland during the Celtic Tiger economic boom of the 1990s and 2000s, [11] becoming synonymous with "Breakfast Roll Man", the archetypal sub-contractor who was busy with construction work and needed sustenance on the move, before the bursting of the Irish property bubble in the late 2000s. [12]
It also shows the popularity of novelty comedy songs, which the Irish public always appear to have a bit of a thing for, such as Jumbo Breakfast Roll by Pat Shortt at number 11.
