A photo of the “abominable” breakfast at a Dublin hotel has upset and shocked the Irish public after it was posted online.
The €20 breakfast included two hash browns, two sausages, two poached eggs, one rasher that “looks so dry it'd snap like a cracker”, one slice of tomato, a ‘dismally-sized’ pudding and “warm lettuce topped with big bits of raw onion and a splattering of red pepper”. The reddit post received more than 400 comments to date and the one thing people could not agree on was which was the most offensive part of the breakfast.
While there is no canonical full Irish for the most part, a reddit user said, if it has rashers, sausages, eggs, mushrooms, black or white pudding, toast, and some other stuff a reasonable amount of Irish people will agree on, then it's good. “Note the non-negotiable plurals on those. If you give me one sausage – I don't care how big it is – I won't be happy. If I get one rasher, also a paddlin’.”
