The Breakfast Toastie Debacle
So since I've been here in Ireland, I've been craving a bacon, egg, and cheese. Yes, I could make one for myself, but I really want one like the ones that Javier or Luis would make me at the Woodbury Diner before/during/after my shift. So this morning, after my Canterbury Tales class, I went grocery shopping. On the way to Tescos (supermarket), I stopped at an Obrien's, which is essentially a Bruegger's (for those in Massachusetts/Vermont) or a Panera. I asked for their Breakfast Toastie. (Toasties here are anything from a grilled cheese, a panini, or simply a sandwich on toasted bread). When the lovely Irish lady handed me my breakfast toastie, it had everything a good breakfast sandwich needed - bacon, sausage, cheese, ketchup.... but..... no egg? What kind of breakfast sandwich doesn't have an egg on it? So odd and so dissapointing. Also, all toasties, sandwiches, etc. here come with crisps on the side, whether you want them or not. And the crisps are ALWAYS sour cream and onion. Granted, I love sour cream and onion chips, but I'm getting quite sick of them. Anyway, I miss the bacon/egg/cheese and I miss normal Ketchup (irish ketchup, even heinz brand is really weird).
