SUMMARY:ICONIC Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition in the Dawson Hall will celebrate all that is ICONIC about Northern Ireland\, from its famous faces to its spectacular places. It will look at advances made in science and the innovations and inventions we have given to the world. From revolutionising farming to splitting the atom our achievements far surpass our size. \n \nWe all know of the famous sports and entertainment personalities but we will take a look at less well known figures who have left their mark on the world.

SUMMARY:Fighting Fit Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Northern Ireland has had to literally fight for its survival. From the time of the Home Rule Crisis when unionists armed to defend their liberty against the implosion of a Dublin Parliament through the sacrifice of the Somme the sons and daughters of Ulster proved themselves willing to defend their hearth and home. The fledging state faced an onslaught from their neighbours to the South as they suffered daily incursions and attacks culminating in the invasion of County Fermanagh around Pettigo. This required British Army action supported by artillery barrage to take back that part of Northern Ireland. Co-ordinated with this was the terrorist campaign waged by the IRA from within the country\, assassination\, arson and insurrection aimed at toppling the new state continued for months. \n \nIn the face of this threat\, and the campaign of boycott by the nationalist community which refused to acknowledge the state\, the new Northern Ireland Government was forced to fight for its very survival and mobilised its own people. The Ulster Special Constabulary formed the backbone of this resistance\, and secured the border. Their determination\, local knowledge and fighting spirit saw the defeat of Irish Republican terrorism and Southern Irish Aggression in what should rightly be called the Ulster Irish War 1920-23. \nSadly this terrorist threat reared its head again in the Second World War as the IRA allied itself with Nazi Germany and indeed encouraged an invasion of Ireland. Churchill acknowledged the role of Northern Ireland in winning the war and De Valera’s Republic chose the wrong side once more. The 1950s saw another failed IRA ‘Border Campaign’ where once more the B Specials defended us and defeated the enemy. \nFinally under the guise of Civil Rights the new Provisional IRA and the political wing Provisional Sinn Fein launched a terrorist campaign that was to last over thirty years. Sadly this first target was the foe they could not defeat in the field – the B Specials. In an act of political appeasement this brave force was disbanded and with it went a key feature of our defence. Replaced by the Ulster Defence Regiment which in turn proved itself a worthy successor. At a time when Republican attempt to rewrite history to air brush their atrocities from the record we must remember with pride the service and sacrifice of those brave men and women in the Police\, Local security Forces and the British Army who served for over a Century to keep us free. \n \nToday our country exists because of their courage and dedication to duty – our Fighting Fit Exhibition will look at the contribution we have made to security and democracy not just locally but globally. Local historians such as William Gordon will use their amazing collections of military artefacts to tell that story and help future generations better understand the legacy of those who came before.

SUMMARY:Keep Fit Ceildh
DESCRIPTION:Keeping Up Traditions with Our Keep Fit Ceildh\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs part of the now annual Twelfth Festival which we run in the week up to the Twelfth one of the highlights has become the Ceildh Dance. It has proven a hit with all ages and abilities\, from the seasoned highland flinger to the near novice. It has been hosted in church halls\, orange halls and hotels as hundreds of people have learn traditional Scottish dancing and enjoyed a great  nights fun. \nThis year with restrictions and social distancing we sadly cannot organise the event we had planned but instead we have taken the music\, the moves and as much of the events of previous years and working with some of our Ceildh experts have provided a great Ceildh experience you can enjoy at home. \nAt this time when we are all trying to get enough exercise without gyms and organised sports this is perfect. We know exercise boosts our immunity\, lifts our spirits and helps to keep us healthy.  During difficult times dealing with COVID 19 we would like to thank the folks at Highland Hustle for providing some FREE resources for you to use at home. \n\nAs part of their efforts to get the nation back on their its feet they have released this video to encourage us all. \n\nFIGHT SON\, LOW IMPACT ROUTINE:\nOriginally filmed to reach out to a member who could not attend Highland Hustle due to serious ill health in 2019 but may be welcomed by some on the recovery from illness with an uplifting song!  This track may also be particularly suitable for the elderly. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany of the routines on their website are aimed towards the less mobile or perhaps elderly. A very gentle routine which could be done sitting in a chair.  For example\, during the movement to the side just ‘march’ the feet on the spot from a chair. \nFor the younger dancers we have included this fun game to play and keep active. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHighland Hustle Snakes and Ladder Challenge!\nWho is going to be the first to finish the board game in your house?  Don’t worry if you don’t all know the moves … we have provided some short videos below with adaptions of movements so the whole family can learn and join in!  Or\, if you are the dancer in the family why not become teacher for the rest of you and have some fun! \nRemember to warm up for a few minutes before you take part! \nCLICK HERE TO VIEW A PDF OF THE GAME TO PRINT UP!\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Sample of the Beginners Sessions\n\n\nLEARN BASIC PDB\, H’CUT\, SPRING POINTS & TOE AND HEEL

SUMMARY:Bands on the Box
DESCRIPTION:We each have a favourite part of the Twelfth and for many it is the sound and colour of our marching bands as they parade past us leading lodges to the field. This year our bandsmen and women have missed a full season of parades\, as they have shown amazing discipline and restraint. \nTo bring as much of the Twelfth to you at home we have put together a compilation of some of you favourite bands on the box\, as many of you will be able to watch this on smart TVs or other devises. \nOur friends at the Ulster Bands Forum have been keeping our feet tapping and giving us a regular fix of virtual bands so lets enjoy their weekly show as part of our Twelfth celebrations. \n

SUMMARY:The Big Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:We are bring home the bacon\, eggs\, soda bread and all you need to have the Big Breakfast at home this year. Whether it is the Twelfth Morning or any day of the week we look at ways to make the traditional and a health alternative to the much loved Ulster fry. Each year before the Twelfth the ladies serve up much more than just an amazing breakfast\, but as part of the annual Twelfth Festival there is a great line up of entertainment and crack. \nSo as the sausages are sizzling and the bacon crisping you can enjoy some of the acts from previous years. Who could forget the mights ‘Hounds of Ulster’ as they listed the roof and got us all on our feet. \nhttps://iloi.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/1080p-2-1.mp4\n  \nThe tables are set for the next Big Breakfast when we are able to safely meet and enjoy it so until then we hope that you will make do with the sights and sounds of previous years and your own home cooking. \n  \nhttps://iloi.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/1080p.mp4\n  \nOrigins of the Ulster Fry \n\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\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\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\nUlster Fry Courtesy of Food NI\n\n\n\n\nBaking and eggs\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\nMaking Your Own \nIngredients:\n2 eggs \n1 slice of potato bread \n1 slice of soda bread \n2 pork sausages \n2 back bacon rashers \n2 slices of black and white pudding \n1 red tomato \n  \nInstructions:\n1. Place a small amount of rapeseed oil in the pan over a low heat which produces a light sizzle not a spitting oil. \n2. When hot\, place the sausages in the pan turning occasionally to colour evely all the way round. This should take approximately 8 minutes. \n3. Add the bacon rashers to the pan. Don’t turn your bacon too early – wait for the colour to appear on the edges. For a healthier option you can grill the bacon. Either way\, cook the bacon until crispy but not brown and burnt. \n4. Place the potato and soda bread in pan. The soda will soak up all the delicious flavours and the potato bread will brown on the outside and soften wonderfully in the middle. \n5. Use tomatoes on the vine as they retain their firmness and flavour for longer. Tomatoes should always be a little crispy. Cook the tomatoes for several  minutes alongside your breads. \n6. Put the slices of black and white pudding in the pan and continue to cook everything for a couple of more minutes – after 2-3 minutes flip everything over. After a further 2 minutes cooking move all the ingredients into a warmed oven and clean your pan. \n7. In a little fresh oil\, crack 2 large free range eggs\, place a lid over the pan to cook the top of the eggs for perfect runny eggs.

SUMMARY:Centenary Banner Parade
DESCRIPTION:To launch the ILOI’s Centenary of Northern Ireland Programme of events Garryduff ILOI No. 15 and Garryduff Flute Band have organised a parade of banners. The parade will see banners rom a range of the Loyal Orders and will mark events in history which led up to the Centenary. The skill and time invested in making a banner is often only seen one a year at the Twelfth\, so it is always great to see the banners making an appearance more often. \nThey are amazing pieces of art in their own right\, many are the artists own interpretation of famous paintings by some of the worlds most renowned artists. Nowhere else in the world is art literally brought to the people and paraded before them. Many who have never visited an art gallery or museum will be able to see some of the finest scenes and paintings ever made. \nAside from the art the banner is the colours of the lodge. Just as a regiment parades its colours proudly and sees them as an embodiment of the regiment so too do lodges see their banners as more than just a piece of material. \nSo come and see the banners on parade tonight. Or if you are a Lodge\, Encampment\, Club Preceptory or Band bring your banner\, bannerette\, flag or colours along to the parade and lets see as big a turn out as possible. \nA social evening to follow in line with current restrictions and guidelines.

SUMMARY:Centenary Banner Parade
DESCRIPTION:Banners hold an important place in Orange culture. Evolving from a flag which served a similar role to regimental colours the Orange banner gre in size until it was necessary to be carried by two men. \nThe Orange Banner is an Iconic symbol of fraternal organisations in Northern Ireland. It is also something we have exported to the world\, with banners now seen on parade across the globe. The banners usually depict scenes of historic or religious significance\, most carry an image of William Prince of Orange often in the iconic representation of the King on his white charger. \nBanners tell a story and embody what is important to lodge. They are hand painted and often represent months of fundraising and planning. So lets tell our story with pride and showcase as many Orange Banners as we can to mark the centenary of Northern Ireland. \nCome along and carry your lodges banner\, or your bands bannerette or colours with pride.

SUMMARY:Commemoration of the Landing of King William
DESCRIPTION:Wyck\, Jan; William III Landing at Brixham\, Torbay\, 5 November 1688; National Maritime Museum; http://www.artuk.org/artworks/william-iii-landing-at-brixham-torbay-5-november-1688-176186\nThe Glorious Fifth – the Fifth of November\nThe Glorious Revolution of 1688\, which shaped our Parliamentary Democratic Constitution and ensured a foundation for the freedoms we still enjoy today began when William Prince of Orange set foot in England on 5 November 1688. \nThe landing has been marked since and this year we will be going online to commemorate the events leading up to Williams successful claim to the throne. While known as the bloodless revolutions and aside from the Battle of Reading there were no real battles in England\, we are well aware of the loss of life and the sacrifices made by his supporters in Ireland. \nThe Glorious 5th November marks not only this Great Deliverance from ‘Popery and Arbitrary Power’ with the creation of a balanced Constitutional monarchy with the place of Parliament established and the path to democracy set; but also the deliverance from the Gunpowder Plot earlier in the century. \nTraditionally Orange Lodges would meet on or close to this date to commemorate the events\, that double deliverance of what was to become our British democracy. With COVID Restrictions we are taking this opportunity to mark this traditional anniversary at home with a commemorative dinner and then a traditional bonfire night.

SUMMARY:Protestantism's Birthday
DESCRIPTION:  \nRemembering the Reformation\nFor Children\, we hope you will enjoy Reformation Day – the Birthday of Protestantism with our Virtual Resources and Online material.\nReformation Day\nAt the time\, few would have suspected that the sound of a hammer striking the castle church door in Wittenberg\, Germany\, would soon be heard around the world and lead ultimately to the greatest transformation of Western society since the apostles first preached the Gospel throughout the Roman empire. Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to the church door on October 31\, 1517\, provoked a debate that culminated finally in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. Historians still debate its origins and legacy\, however\, we believe it to be a great awakening of God and a move to revive faith and return from the error and superstition which had crept in. \nWe hope to be able to watch our Reformation Service on our Facebook page and enjoy our virtual exhibition which accompanies it\, so please engage with our resources. The Exhibition tells the exciting story of a monk who risked his life and shattered the strength of the Roman Catholic Church\, and a society that put sin up for sale – and the power of the printed word to challenge it all. The Reformation\, our latest exhibition reveals a series of events that changed the course of history forever. \nIn October 1517\, German monk and scholar Martin Luther began questioning the Catholic Church\, particularly for its sale of ‘indulgences’\, or sins that could be forgiven – for a price. Luther may have remained a little-known scholar but for the fact that his words took shape in printed form\, reaching thinkers all over the world – including radical scholar William Tyndale\, and one of history’s most notorious monarchs\, King Henry VIII. \nThe Reformation is a journey through these tumultuous times. Visitors can find out how Luther’s work led to the splintering of the Catholic Church across Europe\, and how Luther’s ideas went viral. Much like the digital communications revolution of the 21st century\, the invention of the printing press meant that news\, ideas and opinions could spread rapidly across the globe. \nThe Reformation explores the consequences and legacy of these events.

SUMMARY:Virtual VJ Day
DESCRIPTION:Victory in Japan Day – or VJ Day – was celebrated on 15th August 1945 and it marked the end of World War Two. As an Institution we would encourage lodges bands and members to take time and reflect on the sacrifice\, give thanks for the deliverance and to celebrate the vistory.  \nJust as we did for VE Day a number of months ago we have provided resources for members and the community and links to the national celebrations as we mark this monumental event.  \nThe 15th August 1945 was the moment that the Allies – that is Britain\, the US and other countries that were fighting together – marked victory over Japan. \nVirtual VJ Day

SUMMARY:Behind the Banners
DESCRIPTION:Banners evolved from large flags which were common in the later 1800s. Their origins lie in the tradition of regimental colours\, carried to identify and provide a rallying point for different units in battle. The military origins of the Orange Order meant that lodges adopted the carrying of colours when on parade.  \nThese traditionally carry mottoes\, the name and location of the lodge and over time saw the addition of elaborate works of art. Tradition holds that King William is on the front\, with the lodge symbolically still marching behind their king. However the reverse is very much up to the democratic decision of the lodge. \nThis year these banners will not be on parade leading lodges but instead we will showcase them in an online exhibition. \nWatch and learn the meaning and message behind each banner and the stories of how they are made. Often as they are paraded each year spectators don’t have the time to study each banner as one follows fast upon another. So take your time this year as we show a selection of our lodges banners and build an exhibition which will not only tell the story of each lodge but build to tell the whole story of our faith\, history and Orange story.

SUMMARY:Bands on the Box
DESCRIPTION:We each have a favourite part of the Twelfth and for many it is the sound and colour of our marching bands as they parade past us leading lodges to the field. This year our bandsmen and women have missed a full season of parades\, as they have shown amazing discipline and restraint. \nTo bring as much of the Twelfth to you at home we have put together a compilation of some of you favourite bands on the box\, as many of you will be able to watch this on smart TVs or other devises. \nOur friends at the Ulster Bands Forum have been keeping our feet tapping and giving us a regular fix of virtual bands so lets enjoy their weekly show as part of our Twelfth celebrations. \n

SUMMARY:Marching Back in Time
DESCRIPTION:This year as we looked at what made the Twelfth special we realised that it was seeing bands\, banners and brethren on parade. For both those marching and watching it is the visual spectacle of the Order on the march which makes the day. So we decided to look back at previous Twelfths. \nIn recent months during lockdown the Institution has not been asleep. We have taken the time to research and archive much of our history. One huge task was to collect and collate pictures\, and that was undertaken by Wor. Bro. William Fenton. His work on our Flickr site  has made it possible for us to bring you an online exhibition of past Twelfths. \nSo to see us on parade just check here and enjoy the sights and sounds of previous Twelfths. Watch brethren\, bands and banners on parade from a range of our County Antrim Demonstrations

SUMMARY:Platform Proceedings
DESCRIPTION:Tune in to watch our Platform Proceedings online and hear what the ILOI has to say this year.  \nIn the field as families and friends meet and catch up on news and events from the last year\, and lines of hungry brethren and bandsmen queue for hot food and ice cream\, preparations are under way for the platform proceedings. For younger members the Twelfth Field is a place of fun and games with rides and inflatable games\, for others it is a picnic field for families to enjoy the best of food and friendship sharing sandwiches even BBQs weather permitting. \nThe sound of instruments being tried out or lambeg drum tattoos sounding loud and proud across the open space. However all this subsides as people take their seats and listen to what is a mix of religious service\, and a platform to give the Order’s position on matters of the day. The platform proceedings covers faith\, current affairs\, political and constitutional developments and gives the Order a unique opportunity to outline its position and plans for the ensuing year. It allows it to reinforce its core principles such as loyalty\, faith\, and its Unionism. \nWe have included a virtual Platform\, with all the key elements from Resolutions to the Gospel Message and Hope that You will listen and learn as this years proceedings go virtual \n

SUMMARY:Drive-In Drums at Drumraw
DESCRIPTION:The Twelfth would really not be the Twelfth without the sound of the lambed drum. This year it is one instrument that won’t be affected by social distancing as you are probably advised to stand back at least two metres normally. The Independent Twelfth has been welcoming more dunning parties over the last few years and it has a long tradition of lambed drumming with the Wilkinson Family one of the original Lambeg Drum makers of Ulster. \nThe lambeg legend is that this giant of drums came over with King William to Ireland\, and on that morning of the Battle of the Boyne the sound of a wren pecking crumbs off the head of a drum awoke the drummer who signalled the alarm and ensured a primitive attack by the Jacobites was foiled. However like all great legends this story has grown over time. It makes for a great tale\, but any drum man will tell you it couldn’t have happened like that – for sure no drummer would love the head of his drum open to the elements much less a hungry bird!  However like many myths there is a central truth\, William’s army many have brought a larger style of drum used by his Dutch Blue Guards. Like the legend the drum did now over time and probably as one drum maker sought to outdo the others they built bigger and bigger drums. In fact the only things that stopped the drums getting even bigger was the ability of one man to carry them and the limit to the size of a goatskin\, for no matter how much you can wet and stretch it they are bound but the size of the animal. \nThis year like every other Twelfth as far back as men can remember\, the drums have been pulled in preparation for the Twelfth. Of course this year social distancing was observed but the same traditions and techniques had to be used. The result is that the men of McNeillstown and Drumraw will be heard even if they can’t be seen on the roads. Members will meet at Drumraw Hall to let the drums sing on the Twelfth and while we are not advertising the event as a public event due to public restrictions\, it is one instrument that you can enjoy from your car. So we will be hosting a Drive-in Drum Session on the Twelfth. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Thought for the Day
DESCRIPTION:It was at 11pm on 4th August 1914 that British Forces engaged in open combat and World War One or the Great War as it is commonly know commenced. Thousands upon thousands of young men would leave their homeland to fight for our freedoms\, liberties and British way of life.\n \nUntold thousands would never return home again.  Our nation was to be robbed of a young generation who paid the Supreme Sacrifice and  would give their lives on the battlefields of France. \n \nOn the Centenary on Monday 4th August 2014\, the Cullybackey Branch of the Royal British Legion\, along with a number of supporters gathered around the War Memorial in the Village of Cullybackey\, their purpose was to pay tribute to and remember those who had fallen but would never be forgotten.  This was part of a National Act of Reflection and Remembrance as people gathered throughout the nation around Cenotaphs and War Memorials to pay tribute to those who in a bye gone age defended our honour.\n \nThe Chairman of the Royal British Legion Major ( retd ) Bill Canning welcomed all assembled to the short service. Two minutes silence was then observed after which a lone Piper played a lament.\n \nIt was my great privilege and honour to bring just a few thoughts from Gods precious Word. We considered the bible text written upon the head stone of Noel Chavasse who was a recipient of not one but two Victoria Crosses\, and was the most decorated soldier in World War One.\n \nThe Text was    ” Greater love hath no man than this\, that a man lay down his life for his friends ” John 15 v 3 \n \nNo Greater Love than the Love of Christ \n– A Love that brought him from the realms of Glory and took him to Calvary’s Cross\n \nNo Greater Man than the Person of Christ \n– He was God incarnate\, God manifest in the flesh\, in him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.\n \nNo Greater Life than the Life of Christ\n– He was the Sinless Spotless Son of God\, who gave his life a ransom for the many\, and bore our sins in his own body on the tree.\n \nNo Greater Friend than the Lord Jesus Christ  \n– The Bible says that he is a friend that sticketh closer than any brother.\n

SUMMARY:Twelfth Morning Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:To get your Big Day started lets have a great breakfast as friends gather. We are bring home the bacon\, eggs\, soda bread and all you need to have the Big Breakfast at home this year. Whether it is the Twelfth Morning or any day of the week we look at ways to make the traditional and a health alternative to the much loved Ulster fry. Each year before the Twelfth the ladies serve up much more than just an amazing breakfast\, but as part of the annual Twelfth Festival there is a great line up of entertainment and crack. \nSo as the sausages are sizzling and the bacon crisping you can enjoy some of the acts from previous years. Who could forget the mights ‘Hounds of Ulster’ as they listed the roof and got us all on our feet. \nhttps://iloi.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/1080p-2-1.mp4\n  \nThe tables are set for the next Big Breakfast when we are able to safely meet and enjoy it so until then we hope that you will make do with the sights and sounds of previous years and your own home cooking. \n  \nhttps://iloi.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/1080p.mp4\n  \nOrigins of the Ulster Fry \n\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\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\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\nUlster Fry Courtesy of Food NI\n\n\n\n\nBaking and eggs\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\n\n\n\n\n\nMaking Your Own \nIngredients:\n2 eggs \n1 slice of potato bread \n1 slice of soda bread \n2 pork sausages \n2 back bacon rashers \n2 slices of black and white pudding \n1 red tomato \n  \nInstructions:\n1. Place a small amount of rapeseed oil in the pan over a low heat which produces a light sizzle not a spitting oil. \n2. When hot\, place the sausages in the pan turning occasionally to colour evely all the way round. This should take approximately 8 minutes. \n3. Add the bacon rashers to the pan. Don’t turn your bacon too early – wait for the colour to appear on the edges. For a healthier option you can grill the bacon. Either way\, cook the bacon until crispy but not brown and burnt. \n4. Place the potato and soda bread in pan. The soda will soak up all the delicious flavours and the potato bread will brown on the outside and soften wonderfully in the middle. \n5. Use tomatoes on the vine as they retain their firmness and flavour for longer. Tomatoes should always be a little crispy. Cook the tomatoes for several  minutes alongside your breads. \n6. Put the slices of black and white pudding in the pan and continue to cook everything for a couple of more minutes – after 2-3 minutes flip everything over. After a further 2 minutes cooking move all the ingredients into a warmed oven and clean your pan. \n7. In a little fresh oil\, crack 2 large free range eggs\, place a lid over the pan to cook the top of the eggs for perfect runny eggs.
