A farl (reduced form of the Scots ''fardel'') is any of various quadrant-shaped flatbreads and cakes, traditionally made by cutting a round into four pieces. In Northern Ireland, the term generally refers to soda bread and to potato bread or cakes (potato farls). While soda bread can also be baked as a normal loaf, that used in an Ulster fry breakfast is made as farls (that is to say, flat rounds about 3/4 inch thick which are then cut into quarters). Modern commercially mass-produced potato farls, however, are often rectangular in form. In Scotland today, the word is used less than in Northern Ireland, but a farl can be a quarter piece of a large flat scone, bannock, or oatcake. It may also be used for shortbread when baked in this particular shape.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Farl ) 〕 ==Etymology== The word may be related to ''fallaid'' in some way. However, the Dictionary of the Scots Language says that ''farl'' is a shorter form of ''fardel'', the word once used in some parts of Lowland Scotland for "a three-cornered cake, usually oatcake, generally the fourth part of a round". In earlier Scots ''fardell'' meant a fourth or quarter.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「farl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
