My father's side of the family has some Scots Irish ancestry which could explain why we've had farl in our breakfasts ( though it's 40 years ago) must try making some farl myself...
The computer automatically came up with my nearest places to buy ingredients for farl.. Walmart, Cincinnati. ????? That's a bit far from Norfolk UK...

Good luck on the great puddin' hunt.
Yes, the Full Irish and the Full Scottish are very similar. I remember beans in England, but never once had beans included in Ireland. Typically in Ireland we would receive a couple of eggs, bacon, a couple of sausages, fried black pudding, fried white pudding, fried tomato, and scones, with the sometimes addition of toast, fried mushrooms, or fried potato bread. And of course always tea or coffee. Oddly enough it never included potatoes which struck me as interesting considering it was Ireland after all.

Is farl similar to Bannock bread? And yes, Cincinnati does seem like an odd choice to be the closest supplier to you!
