The Ulster Fry: The News as it Should be by Seamus O'Shea
Since The Ulster Fry was founded in January 2015, it has become the go-to site for satire and parody news stories for Northern Ireland. Within a fortnight of starting, the site's spoof story about the world's first crisp sandwich cafe went viral, and led to the setting up of a real crisp sandwich takeaway, Simply Crispy. Since then, the site has gone from strength to strength and now boasts a community of over 44,000 followers.
The book brings together the very best of the site's content with extensive new material, creating a fantastic, satirical portrait of life in Northern Ireland and further afield. Including: Ulster Fry guides to key events such as the NW200, the Balmoral Show and Northern Ireland's best roundabouts; brilliant news stories, such as 'Local baby sets new record for socks retention', 'Lidl leaflet voted Northern Ireland's top men's magazine' and ' Great Victoria Street not actually that great, admits council', this book will be the gift of choice in Northern Ireland this year.
