Passenger livid after being charged 'outrageous' price for disappointing breakfast

The internet has been sent reeling by an utterly terrible airport breakfast likened simply to 'muck'.

Over the years the plane dinner has become a thing of notoriety, with pictures of limp sandwiches, distressing lasagnes and upsetting puds keeping us all entertained.

As disappointing as dining at 30,000 feet may be, the low quality food is somewhat understandable given the different air pressure and cramped kitchens.

It seems that airports are now attempting to give airlines a run for their money in the race to put a final nail in the coffin of cuisine on the British Isles.

A visitor to Dublin Airport was deeply disturbed to be served what claimed to be an Irish breakfast.

It consisted of a large slop of beans, one incredibly anaemic looking egg, and what may be black puddings.

It was theirs for the cool price of €14.20 (£12.44).

The punter, who was posting on Reddit, said that the breakfast was "not good quality" and added: "This was the price they pulled out of nowhere. I shared because the price they came up with for it, is frankly, outrageous."

The disappointed traveller clarified that the item was bought off menu due to his food allergies.

Naturally the post prompted a great deal of outrage from breakfast fans.

"Dublin Airport breakfast used to be expensive but tasty. That's... insulting," one person wrote.

Another added: "I at least remember the breakfast being a bit of a treat even though it was way overpriced. This is muck."

A third asked: "Were they charging by the bean?"

It is not the first time that a visitor to Dublin Airport has received a terrible breakfast.

Journalist Kevin Doyle took to Twitter to show his followers a meal he received, which set him back a total of €18.65 (£15.64).

The breakfast consisted of four slices of toast, two sausages, two cups of tea or coffee, and a bottle of water.

Kevin's post racked up more than 4,600 likes and dozens of comments from people who were keen to share their thoughts on the price of the breakfast, with many saying it was "criminally" high, while others argued that they "wouldn't pay" after seeing what was on offer.

It's not the first time a hotel breakfast has caused some controversy. Earlier this year one mum was left fuming after being charged for two breakfasts when she helped herself to some extras at a hotel buffet.

Meanwhile one disgruntled holidaymaker sparked a debate on Reddit after slamming a family for wearing pyjamas to breakfast on a recent holiday.
