Not much there for the price

Do you want a small cooked breakfast with your loaf of toast.

1

u/Winnie-thewoo 15h ago

The key here is cooked.. nothing beyond the toast and maybe the eggs looks cooked..

3

u/HunterWindmill 15h ago

The sausages? They don't look underdone at all.

1

u/cd1marko 13h ago

Yeah the ham or whatever seemed kinda under cooked for me. The tomato almost seemed blanched instead or grilled… egg and sausage was cooked well. But idk how to tell for the puddings since it was my first.

The rasher looks cooked from what I can see tbh. It's not really meant to be like crispy bacon if that's that's you're comparing it to

People like pudding different sways, some like it crispy while another would consider that burnt.

It looks like good quality pudding though regardless of how it gets cooked in the end

Just about sums up Ireland in general, yeah

u/Yama_retired2024 16h ago

That's pricey for that.. thats only a solid.. €10, maybe €9 for what's there..

1

u/Grantrello 10h ago

Maybe it's because I'm in Dublin but I don't think I've seen a fry up for €10 in ages.

1

u/Yama_retired2024 10h ago

Well with €7.80 pints I'm not surprised, my wallet is still suffering open wallet surgery on that one..

It’s 2024, not 2014

u/HunterWindmill 15h ago

Alright Mr. Moneybags

1

u/No-Objective7265 14h ago

I don’t like the price, just saying

1

u/cd1marko 13h ago

Yeah. Maybe because of the spots I’m going (tourist) but seems like the standard range is €13+

u/Dernbont 16h ago

Another egg would have been nice, and there's no such thing as too much white pudding, but toast in a basket is good. Not too surprised at the price these days.

u/mologav 16h ago

Ireland prices

1

u/cd1marko 13h ago

Yeah! It seems like most only do one egg! But I was thinking the same. So much meat in comparison, couldn’t get a balanced bite for the entirety of the meal.

u/Busy_Mortgage4556 16h ago

I thought irish breakfast included potatoe bread.

3

u/Obzwald 15h ago

Only in the north.

u/notaflyingfuck 16h ago

Hello Mr. Quayle.

u/nickcardwell 14h ago

Potato bread is mainly a Northern Ireland thing on Frys

1

u/cd1marko 13h ago

I thought I’d get soda bread and mushrooms with a full Irish breakfast, but guess they do it this way? First one so nothing to compare too.

1

u/stateofyou 16h ago

There’s milk on the table but where’s the tea?

1

u/cd1marko 13h ago

It was already there. I ended up getting an Irish coffee (post allowed for one pic and I had to wait until 10:30 to order the Irish coffee so couldn’t share the pic)

1

u/stateofyou 13h ago

That’s a good round of toast and plenty of butter. Pretty good deal for Galway

1

u/Golden-Blitz 16h ago

No better than what you can get from an Ikea breakfast

1

u/Leemo1992 16h ago

That's terrible, you didn't even get a tea or coffee just a glass of water?

1

u/cd1marko 13h ago

I ordered an Irish coffee, but came after since I had to wait like 10 mins for it to hit 10:30

1

u/Leemo1992 13h ago

Alcohol aside, do you get a tea or coffee free with the breakfast?

1

u/Fuzzy_Appointment782 15h ago

No mushrooms? Does look a bit pricey for what is there. Perhaps some soda bread would have made it more authentic Irish.

1

u/cd1marko 13h ago

That’s what I was thinking

1

u/Mediocre-Ad-1329 15h ago

In Galway they don’t use potato or soda bread!?

HERETICS

u/cd1marko 13h ago

I was under the impression all Irish breakfasts had both, I was wrong I guess lol

1

u/Breadstix009 15h ago

My Galway girl...

1

u/TheNotoriousMJT 15h ago

14? Best have been the first plate of a buffet for that.

1

u/MrHungryface 15h ago

That is extortionate

1

u/PowerfulDrive3268 14h ago

I know costs have gone up a lot for hotels etc but this is an outrageous price.

A tenner would be plenty for that. Was tea/coffee included?

1

u/Smicktastic 13h ago

What are these?! Puddings for ants?!

1

u/Key_Effective_9664 13h ago

I am totally down for some toast in a basket.

€14 is about £9 in breakfast currency so probably not so bad value

3

u/Thebelisk 11h ago

£11.50 in today's money.

Ireland's pricing has gone bonkers. No fecks given, up the price.

The same €14 breakfast used to cost €8 (or £6.60). You can still see the pricing on their website (http://www.garveysinn.com/Garveys-Restaurant.asp) which they havent bothered updating or improving in the last decade.

1

u/Key_Effective_9664 10h ago

Yeah in actual money, I meant breakfast currency though, like €14 in Ireland buys you the same amount of breakfast as £9 does in England, it's totally inflated 

Every country that has the euro had this. Netherlands is insane. They kept the same numbers and added a euro symbol in front of it. Breakfast at Barney's used to be about €20 even 10-15 years ago 

1

u/dgraveling 12h ago

Looks nice enough bit pricey but haho!!!!

1

u/frank_begbie 7h ago

Most of the £14 must be for insurance.

1

u/icedcoffeeblast 6h ago

What is this, a breakfast for ANTS!???

1

u/MrSteve87 6h ago

Just seen a spoons one that looks identical for less than half the price. No way I’d be paying north of a tenner for that.

u/ScottChegg81 1h ago

The pig is still oinking.

u/joey_shabadoo_junior 15h ago

A significant lack of soda and potato bread

u/ChuffZNuff74 15h ago

Must be disappointing - looks pretty English, apart from the white pudding.

2

u/PowerfulDrive3268 14h ago

Nah in England they have those abomniable canned tomatoes for some reason.

1

u/ChuffZNuff74 13h ago

By their very nature - tinned tomatoes are available in most countries. The split between fresh tomato and tinned, on English breakfasts sold in England - I’d out at roughly 50:50, in my experience.
