TWEET: Gerry Adams sparks debate about how to make a fry in the “British occupied six counties”

Always concerned with the serious issues is Gerry.

With the election coming up and Pierce Brosnan doing his best to look like him, we’ve been seeing and hearing a lot about Gerry Adams lately and will be for a good while yet. As such, there is likely to be more focus placed on the somewhat eccentric tweets that Gerry sometimes posts on his Twitter account, like the one about what goes in an Ulster fry last night. https://twitter.com/GerryAdamsSF/status/688861112369082368 We’re not sure what prompted Gerry’s tweet in the first place; it could have something to do with #beangate and #UlsterFRYday hashtags doing the rounds on Twitter or maybe he was just getting some Sunday night hunger pangs. In any case, his observation that there are no beans in an Ulster fry, unless it’s a “British occupied 6 counties Ulster fry” was retweeted over 700 times and had a lot of people talking (mostly making fry-based puns) last night. https://twitter.com/UlsterFryNI/status/688865180311252993 https://twitter.com/rbcakn/status/688865299580514305 https://twitter.com/nelsonmuntzjr/status/688864577640083457 https://twitter.com/DanielONeill95/status/688862285822083074 https://twitter.com/mydoghatesme/status/688984828696465408 https://twitter.com/damienkierans/status/688996260729229312 https://twitter.com/chrisdevine777/status/688886215194624000 Now, we’re no experts but a little research on the matter tells us that Gerry is right in saying that there should be no beans in an Ulster fry – as there often are in a “full Irish” breakfast or its “full English” equivalent – because all of the ingredients are required to be fried in bacon fat. Like we said, we’re no experts on the matter so does Gerry have a point here or is he just talking waffle, another ingredient that some would happily add to their breakfast nosh.
