Well. Almost a full Irish breakfast. It’s hard to find pudding in the Rockies.

Pork & Beans or Baked Beans? I call them Pork & Beans, others say Baked Beans.
I was raised in a household that always said Pork & Beans. I recently mentioned to a friend that I ate a brat with pork & beans and she stated "You mean baked beans?"
What is it?

IMHO Pork-n-beans and baked beans are two different beasts. Pork-n-beans are a bit more tomato and cane sugar heavy and baked beans are darker and richer with more of a brown sugar molasses flavor. Both have pork in them and in this instance I used "baked" beans
Those look like pork'n'beans to me but whatever. Nothing like getting up to a hearty breakfast. It's funny but growing up I didn't like breakfast much and now it is my favorite meal.
A 'Full Irish?' New one on me. Having said that I'm taking for granted you know what you're talking about. Lol
I learned this term in Ireland but I've only been there a couple times and this is what they called this type of breakfast - mine was missing the sausage, pudding and mushrooms but it was tasty - Traditional Irish Breakfast | The Full Irish Breakfast - https://www.discoveringireland.com/the-full-irish-breakfast/
A full Irish breakfast is what the farmer would have enjoyed years ago. Good for a full day in the field. Today, i'ts what truckers often breakfast on. In Ireland "pudding" is sausage. Blood sausage is "black" pudding. Usually black and white are served as well as rashers of bacon, tomatoes, and well, it's a full meal ... a really full meal as you can see in the photo. A visitor should experience it at least once in Ireland.
Give it a go! It may sound unappealing but it is quite tasty! I liked the version with a slice of black and white pudding when I was there. After a full Irish You are definitely full and ready for a long day of touring and drinking! One day we were on rough seas visiting the Skelligs and a German guy puked and the surly boat captain laughed at him gave him a bucket and said, "Well there's a Full Irish!!" my son and i laugh about it to this day.have no desire to try black pudding.

Try a Breakfast Burger sometime too... Bacon, egg, cheese, tomato and a third or half pound burger on
a Kaiser roll ... sides depend on whether you get it for breakfast or lunch.

There was hit song about the breakfast roll. Depending on your age it could be just the ticket or, it'll sit heavy in your belly most of the day. But, one should at least try one. But, make sure it's not three days old.
If you want a true FIB many places will send you black & white pudding by mail. Also, I know there are a couple Irish shops in Denver that carry them.
Don't know exactly where you are in the Rockies, but I'm sure you could get it if you wanted.

Gotta have the black and white pudding to be an Irish breakfast! I won't order one in a diner without them.
Being of Ulster Scot ancestry, have had haggis on more than 1 occasion. But, that didn't ring any of my gastronomic bells either.
A Full Irish is what you decide it is.
I like the idea of baked beans. I enjoy slicing whatever I'm smoking and adding it to the beans along with bacon and Karo syrup. 350 for a good long while,

I dig the concept of a full Irish breakfast, but never had one. Respect for busting out all the dishes. While it may be heresy to some, I enjoy sausage more than bacon (and don't understand the tomato aspect unless it is meant to be akin to ketchup, but without the sweetness).
If I make breakfast (which is rare), it's crispy beef hash with a runny egg, splash of hot sauce, and heavy on the black pepper.
Our of curisoity, aren't the beans supposed to be more tomatoes based (less sweet and kind of dry), like with proper beans and toast? B&M and Heinz have versions, if I recall.

The beans are Irish style, tomato sauce. The tomatoes are fried. The bacon is leaner than American, tastier also as the pigs are hormone free and raised on farms not pig factories. Most all of the ingrediants are available to be shipped from Ireland. And, one isn't required to eat the entire offering to get the full flavors. At most Irish hotels you can build as much or as little as you desire at the morning buffet. But, if given the chance, I strongly recommend you should try at least a bit of all that's offered, including the puddings. Well, particularly the puddings at least once. And, if you are a gastronome of not that many years ... go for it, the entire plate ... at least once in your life! 'tis a worthy undertaking it is.
? AGREE! @warren. I ate full irish
most mornings and after several days I decided to take it light and had the best eggs Benedict of my life in Killarney. It was so good i took a photo and yes before a purist here points it out it is on a croissant and not an English muffin. OH, and I do not eat eggs Benedict often - only a few times so take my word lightly.
