  2. Always amazed by people going abroad to eat the stuff they can get at home any day of the week.

  4. As someone who absolutely cannot stand cucumbers, this is the worst breakfast menu I’ve ever seen, and the smell in that breakfast room alone would have me wretching up a storm 

  5. Oh they are very *grand* and poesh, aren’t they?

  7. Why does everything have cucumbers except the continental breakfast? Don’t they like cucumbers on the continent?

  8. What no SAM, I AM? Green eggs and ham, green cheese, moldy bread, rancid butter, and rotten tomatoes.

  9. Said in my best Garron Noone voice “Where’s the fookin bacon, this is a tragedy”

  12. There does seem to be a stereotype about Irish people and loving olives. Travelled quite a bit throughout Europe for work and it’s an oddly consistent assumption.

  14. Ill eat black olives in almost any scenario but the cucumber is a bit weird.

  16. There’s a good chance that ‘cucumbers’ here means pickles. Gherkins are great with breakfast meats and are nothing at all like fresh cucumber. They may not be traditional but if you’re not having them with your full Irish you’re missing out.

  17. Is Diplomat a general thing as a breakfast? Or did they think it sounded sophisticated?

  18. I think tnhey might have over bought cucumbers.

  19. I remember staying at an apartment in turkey and the restaurant gave you chips with your breakfast lol.

  20. I’ll never order a fry outside Ireland, I’ve had too many bad experiences. I always stick to the continental breakfast, especially if the weather is hot. Hard to beat fresh pastries and fruit in the sun

  21. Come on, they differentiate cheese by colour, not by type. Unless they are blanketly assuming Cheddar. This is clearly a cultural thing. Cucumbers are on almost every single breakfast type.

  22. Jesus. The continental sounds like some awful sandwich.

  24. This establishment needs to have an accidental fire

  26. Frankfurters, olives, cucumber and no rashers or pudding? That’s a hate crime right there. Just as well that Irish people don’t go to Bulgaria much.

  27. Now you know how it feels when an Italian person eats abroad and sees crimes like pineapple on pizza or “chicken pesto alfredo pasta”.

  29. That menu was designed in 1995.. Comic Sans font is strong

  30. “Honey, what are we going to do with all these cucumbers?”

  31. Having worked with a Bulgarian woman, they will apparently fuck olives and cucumbers into basically anything. Dummy that I am, I never realised their diet is essentially Greek since they right above them.

    I could sort of, kind of, see having a few olives at the end of a full Irish being kind of nice. Cucumber though? You may as well put chunks of steak inside marshmallows. 

  32. Wait a few years and you will have irish olive orchards

  34. Cucumbers in Bulgaria are different to the things we get. They actually have flavour

  35. I’d drop the olives but keepbthe cucumber 🥒 because it’s a good gut cleanser after the grease.

  38. Top tip: to save space on a menu, call toasted bread “toast”.

  39. Yellow cheese in the diplomat… that narrows it down. I love having a chicken roll with my breakfast. Also have they ever heard of rashers, pudding, etc?

  40. They can be pushed to the side. But the frankfurter And boiled egg?

    Crime.
