SUMMARY:Remember Remember the Fifth of November
DESCRIPTION:Remember remember the Fifth of November\, Gunpowder treason and Plot\n \nFor centuries the people of Britain were required by law to commemorate the Gunpowder Treason plot and to give thanks to God for his deliverance of the King\, Lords and Parliament. Parliament met in January 1606 and passed the Thanksgiving Act. This made services and sermons commemorating the plot a regular annual feature each 5 November. \nThousands of sermons were delivered on that date over the next two centuries and hundreds of them were published. The tradition grew of marking the day with the ringing of church bells and bonfires. Fireworks were also included in some of the earliest celebrations. \nFollowing the capture of Guy Fawkes on 5th November 1605 and the arrest of his fellow conspirators\, the Government responded immediately to this attempt to blow up the King and Parliament. \n  \n\nAn Act entitled ‘An Acte for a publique Thancksgiving to Almighty God everie yeere of the Fifte day of November’ was passed in January 1606 This proclaimed the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot should ‘be held in a perpetual Remembrance’ and that the day be ‘a holiday for ever in thankfulness to God for the deliverance and detestation of the Papists’. This annual ‘remembrance’ was to be marked by a morning service in every parish church at which a special prayer of thanksgiving was to be offered up.\n\n\n\nThese celebrations were always more lively when people saw a present Catholic threat. The custom of burning effigies of the Pope\, or the devil\, seems to have begun in the reign of Charles I (1625-49) and became more popular during the crisis over the succession of James II in 1678-81. It was only later that Guy Fawkes replaced the Pope as the figure burned on the 5 November bonfires. It became a night when Protestants across Britain reflected on events of the past and how they were preserved from a number of Catholic terrorist plots and coup d’etats. \nToday the tradition continues in England primarily\, with Bonfire night and the burning of the Guy. Children create a guy to be burnt in effigy to accompany the collection of money and firewood on Bonfire Night. This is a tradition that thrives in British playgrounds\, parks and streets to this day. \n\nBonfire Prayers \nRemember\, remember the Fifth of November\nThe Gunpowder Treason and plot\,\nI see no reason why Gunpowder Treason\nShould ever be forgot. \nGuy Fawkes\, Guy Fawkes ’twas his intent\nTo blow up the King and the Parliament\,\nThree score barrels of powder below\nPoor old England to overthrow. \nBy God’s providence he was catch’d\nWith a dark lantern and burning match\,\nHoller boys\, holler boys\, ring bells ring\nHoller boys\, holler boys\, God Save the King! \nA penny loaf to feed the Pope\nA farthing o’cheese to choke him\,\nA pint of beer to rinse it down\nA faggot of sticks to burn him. \nBurn him in a tub of tar\nBurn him like a blazing star\,\nBurn his body from his head\nThen we’ll say old Pope is dead. \nHip Hip Hoorah!\nHip Hip Hoorah!\nHip Hip Hoorah! \n

SUMMARY:The Big Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:The tables are set for the Rasharkin District Big Breakfast On Easter Monday before the Apprentice Boys Parade and Crimson Festival. \nGet the day off to a goody start and plan to join us in Head-Quarters from 8am where the welcome will be as warm as the food. \n \nThe fried breakfast is by no means unique to Ulster\, across the border they have the full Irish\, there’s the full English and Welsh\, with most regions of Britain and Ireland having their own variation on the fry-up. It might just be the time of year\, but we think the Ulster Fry has the others beat. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNothing new\n\n\nThe fry is very much a Victorian invention. One of the most famous Victorian cookbooks\, Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management\, listed a selection of the best cooked breakfast foods. Cooked breakfast was less common before the Victorian era than it is today\, but we have Mrs Beeton to thank for adding bacon and eggs to the world’s breakfast repertoire. What we think of as the traditional fried breakfast came into its own after World War II. As well as being known as the ‘Full English’\, the phrase ‘Full Monty’ is sometimes used instead\, owing to the fact general Bernard ‘Monty’ Montgomery supposedly started every day with a hearty English breakfast. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s the difference?\n\n\nBacon\, eggs and sausages (all fried) are common ingredients across all fry-ups\, but everything else is a matter of contention. The purist’s Ulster Fry consists of bacon\, eggs\, sausages\, black pudding and\, most importantly\, both potato bread and soda bread. Baked beans\, fried tomato\, mushrooms\, and white pudding are commonly added\, but hardcore traditionalists might reject these. The biggest sticklers might outright reject anything that can’t be fried in lard\, but that position is growing unpopular as time goes by. Indeed\, as people become more health conscious\, cooked breakfasts are moving towards grilling instead of frying. \n\n\n\n\nBaking and eggs\n\n\n\n\nThe two breads in the Ulster Fry are usually served in farls (short for fardell\, meaning a quarter\, and made by cutting dough into four pieces). Potato bread substitutes potato for some of the wheat flour and is usually mass produced as farls\, while soda bread is made with soda bicarbonate instead of yeast and can also be baked as a normal loaf. Although wheaten bread (soda bread made with wholemeal flour) is often served sliced in restaurants\, sliced soda would be quite unusual on a breakfast plate. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
