The Bustle of travel and catching connecting flights leaves little time for indulgence. Catching a quick bite on the run is typical for travel. But not today. Touching down in Dublin, the first stop had to be food on the fly food hall. It is a lively hub with window views – the view reminding that we are not in Ireland for the weather..
The star of the visit … The Full Irish Breakfast at the food court Marqette. The picture shows all, crisp Irish bacon, savory sausage, poached eggs and hearty baked beans. The irony is the app on the table did not work with a foreign phone number to set up the account and there is no wait staff. Hmm. Murphy’s Law. I guess that i have a new culinary grail to find. Full cooked breakfast while in Ireland.

Beauty of a breakfast sandwich on the road lies in its simplicity and consistency. Handcrafted symphony of textures and flavors when done correctly, offering the right balance of savory and minimalism at every bite. Few Breakfast sandwiches have reached the status like McD egg Mc Muffin. I look for consistency across the traveled way. Concourse B has the engineering of the sandwich down. The assembly of the Mc egg Mc Muffin is where the brilliance comes in. The sum are greater that the parts. It is quick, portable and comfort on the run.
