Several faults with that picture! That is clearly an English breakfast. Toast instead of Irish brown bread,no pudding and that is very clearly an English sausage, not a proper Irish breakfast sausage. It is to be expected from the shoneens at Montrose though.

I like beans but never on the same plate. I'm very fussy about my sausages as well. That's why I generally prefer making it myself than going anywhere for breakfast. Sausages have to be Superquinn, Tescos finest or from a decent butchers. No cheap or jumbo sausages. Denny sausages are muck. I love black and white pudding but I wouldn't make them them that often.

You really do learn something new every day, I thought everyone has beans with a fry! I could barely eat one without them, I think they're great. Black pudding is far superior to white pudding also

Beans are grand with a fry, once the whole plate isn't covered in them.

Nothing worse than having your toast and fried egg covered in beans......

Those sausages are giant. Breakfast sausages should be small. The rashers should be back rashers too, not f**king streaky rashers or crispy bacon. They should be well enough cooked of course, but not crispy.

Two rashers, two sausages, two slices of black pudding, one fried egg and f**k off with your mushrooms and tomatoes. Beans I can take or leave, and I like a bit of white pudding as well, but it's not a deal breaker.

Bread, in order of preference: fried potato bread, fried or toasted soda bread (as in a soda farl), or just plain toast (third choice, but you have to have some manner of bread). And if you're not having beans, there's nothing wrong with a bit of tomato ketchup.

Orange juice and tea to drink. Orange juice and tea if you have a hangover, just tea on its own if you don't.

Rudds make good sausages and nice pudding too (not too oaty). Their bacon isn't what it was, too much water. O'Neill's bacon (green and white packaging) is nice.

So much wrong here SD, very disappointing as you started off well. Ketchup??You may as well pour honey and brown sugar on the plate. Rudds don't do anything even edible, it is all atrocious. Even Denny can manage better.
If it doesn't have pudding or proper Irish soda bread then it can't call itself an Irish breakfast. An English breakfast or an Ulster fry are all grand, but call them what they are.

Ketchup is grand, and it's only a small amount.

Clonakilty black pudding is nasty stuff imo, full of oats. It's far cheaper than Rudds to make I bet, full of filler. It really isn't the best. Just because you've been brought up with it doesn't make it the best. I'll agree Denny isn't great though, albeit I do like Rudds, especially the sausages.

Also, I grew up in Ulster, and I didn't called it an Irish breakfast in my post. I'm clearly just saying the breakfast I prefer. Soda bread (by which I assume you mean what northerners would call wheaten bread, like the stuff McCambridge's make) isn't something I've ever had with breakfast.

Irish black pudding contains oatmeal, that Rudds stuff is dry, flavourless and full of salt. It is usually sold in cheap Irish breakfasts in dodgy Irish pubs, including one I worked in that did the worst breakfast ever produced. Clonakilty wouldn't be my favourite pudding, there are local butchers like Haulie O'Neill in the town, Caherbeg or Staunton's near by that I think are better. It is the best that is widely available,; I am sure every locality will have one decent butcher making it.
The debate was centred on the Irish breakfast though, I do like a potato farl ora 'tattie'  scone. I also like the Scottish square slice and Welsh laverbread, but they are all irrelevant!
