[edit] First Sentence

Question to people around the world: is it realy "a very common breakfast throughout the world" ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.107.18.108 (talk • contribs) on March 3, 2006.

I concur, and I want to also add my concern with the sentence "The expression "bacon and eggs" is sometimes used as to be synonymous with 'breakfast'.". It too might not represent a worldwide view. Thus I tagged the article with {{globalize}} for future cleanup. The specific regions of the world for which the disputed statements are true should be identified to provide the scope for those claims. 24.19.184.243 03:35, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with "In modern times, it is known that diets high in saturated fats and cholesterol (such as bacon and eggs) are unhealthy and contribute to heart disease." Who says that it is?. People are more sedentary these days and don't work as hard as they did. Some of us still work that hard though. Why the blanket thing for all?. I still eat a good cooked breakfast most mornings. Ever heard of the term "A short life but a happy one?" Trumpy 09:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC) OK, the expression may not be an American one, but there are more people in this world than the Americans. Lot's of people have bacon and eggs for breakfast the world over and associate breakfast with it, just because we don't all get Hash-Browns at McD's doesn't mean we should associate McD's with breakfast, eh?. This site is far too Americanised. (Trumpy 07:53, 19 August 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Proposed merge

Why? What is wrong with the separate articles? Merging Ulster Fry into this article seems to remove the point a little as an Ulster Fry is a lot more than Bacon and Eggs and it would seem a very bizarre place to find the information. Ben W Bell talk 23:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Because clearly Ulster fry is not the most common name for a very common meal. --sony-youthtalk 23:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Ulster Fry is the name for a fry up that also includes potato and soda bread, something bacon and eggs doens't contain. The Ulster Fry doesn't exist in most other places. Ben W Bell talk 23:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Gosh, no! What you're describing is a Connacht fry! I swear I've been eaten it all my life!! --sony-youthtalk 00:01, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

I propose that Ulster fry should be merged into this article as there is no substantive difference between the two subjects. However, this article should be changed to reflect that bacon and eggs are not just eaten for breakfast but are just as common for lunch and dinner also. --sony-youthtalk 23:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oppose

  • Oppose - Not even slightly the same, one is about Bacon and Eggs, one is a meal that includes soda bread, potato bread, sausages and other optionals. I see no reason to get rid of the Ulster Fry article, a noteworthy meal in it's own right. Why do you want rid of the Ulster Fry article, seems significant and explained enough for separate articles? Should we merge in Carbonara because that also has bacon and eggs as some of the ingredients of a larger dish? I just can't see what is trying to be achieved here. Ben W Bell talk 23:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose - per above.--Vintagekits 23:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose - as per above. Sorry, but I don't see the point of a merge, and all the "fry-ups" also depend heavily on sausages. Hughsheehy 09:44, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Ok, this is a non-starter. I can see. I'm removing the proposal. --sony-youthtalk 21:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
