The Story of an Irish Artisan Butcher Abroad

When you step into this Irish artisan butcher’s domain, you’re not just buying meat—you’re buying heritage. And perhaps nowhere is that more evident than in his unapologetically traditional, pre-packaged Irish breakfasts, handmade sausages, and authentic black and white puddings. It’s not a nod to home—it is home, vacuum-sealed and ready for the pan.

Pre-Packaged Irish Breakfasts: Convenience with Culture

Forget limp hotel buffets or uninspired brunch plates. The butcher’s pre-packaged Irish breakfasts are a masterclass in efficiency and flavor, crafted for the modern schedule without sacrificing a single ounce of tradition.

Each breakfast comes vacuum-sealed and fully cooked—just drop the pack into boiling water, let it heat through, then toss it in a pan for a quick sear to add some colour and crisp. In mere minutes, you’ve got a breakfast that tastes like Saturday morning in Dublin.

How to Serve:
For best results, plate with soft-fried eggs, baked beans, and toasted buttered bread. A pint of tea or a stubborn hangover is optional, but encouraged.

Sausages: Handmade, Hearty, and Humbly Perfect

These are not your average supermarket links. The butcher’s sausages are made the old-fashioned way—hand-mixed, well-seasoned, and with no mystery filler in sight. They strike that perfect Irish balance between firm and juicy, with a herby profile that doesn’t overpower but never plays second fiddle on the plate.

Ideal for breakfast, but just as good in a sandwich or stew, these sausages are a reminder that sometimes, simple things done well are revolutionary.

Black and White Pudding: Proper Irish Pride

If you know, you know. If you don’t, now’s the time to find out.

The black pudding—rich, savoury, and unapologetically bold—is made with oats, blood, spice, and soul. It’s earthy, satisfying, and designed to anchor a full breakfast the way only something this traditional can.

The white pudding, slightly milder but equally compelling, offers a creamy, peppery contrast, giving texture and depth to your plate.

Together, they complete the holy trinity of a true Irish fry. Crisped on the outside, tender on the inside, they’re the kind of food that sparks homesickness in Irish immigrants and admiration in anyone lucky enough to try them.

More Than Breakfast—It’s a Declaration

This isn’t just food—it’s the butcher’s rebellion against blandness, a preservation of Irish culinary roots, and a generous dose of personality sealed into every package. Whether you’re Irish-born, Irish-at-heart, or just hungry for something that actually tastes like something, these breakfasts and butchery staples are the real deal.

And if you don’t like black pudding? “That’s grand,” the butcher would say. “More for the rest of us.”
