Fried bread, fried toast, or fried slice, is bread which, after being sliced and fried, typically in reserved bacon fat, is served as part of a meal. Typically it is fried in the same pan as other ingredients in a meal, to absorb their flavour.
A British fry-up may include fried bread, as may the traditional full English breakfast. In the UK, the term "fried bread" may also refer to French toast or "eggy bread", in which bread is coated in a mixture of whole egg and milk, and then fried, as an accompaniment to an English breakfast or as a snack.
Over the last couple of decades, concerns over health issues, as fried bread is high in energy and fat, have led to the increasingly common substitution of toast for fried bread in these meals, although the bread can be fried on one side only with a small amount of oil instead of bacon fat.
A traditional Irish breakfast is usually accompanied by soda bread. In Northern Ireland this type of soda bread is more commonly referred to as Wheaten Farls. An Ulster fry contains fried soda farls, fried potato farls, and sometimes fried pancakes too.
