Genuine question - how does one eat these? I bought a small pack yesterday out of delightful curiosity.

Grilled and served simply with butter? With eggs?...?

What are your recommendations oh elite epicures of the forå?

Fry in butter (ideally made on your own estate and sent up fresh from the country) and have them served to you with bacon, eggs, black pudding; the normal constituents of a cooked breakfast. If you're indulging in the common touch, baked beans.

Allow to cool a little first if serving beneath foie gras.

Potatoes plundered from South America by a Brit, (Wally Raleigh).

Rotting Potatoes were the only thing left to the starving Irish in the mid 1840's while Britain took grain and meat to fill the bellies of posh Brits.

Nothing very posh about a people who plundered half the world ....

Begs the question....if Raleigh "plundered" them from South America how did they end up in Ireland....Did the Irish come over in a rowing boat and plunder them from the English?

Love this answer!!

Nero - not sure where you stand on beating your servants. Personally I prefer mine free range so they’re happier, I tend to find the food is better cooked.

Just around the corner

Toast, butter and maybe eggs if you’re hungry. Eat and enjoy, and don’t give a damn about what anyone else thinks of your dietary choices.

You open the packet, place the farls in the compost recycling and then bin or recycle the packet as needed.

We ain't posh enough in this part of Lincolnshire for a Waitrose so the ol' Marks n Sparks will have to suffice.

No Wally Raleigh brought them to plant on land he was given that had been taken from the locals in Co. Cork by the British who invaded Ireland.

Historical fact.

Same as Putin invading Ukraine. History does have a habit of repeating itself.
