Breaking the airplane fast with an Irish breakfast buffet, I avoided the black pudding, eating blood is not my kind of delicacy.

I wish my kitchen set was this cute.

I’m not sure what I was expecting when I ordered chicken and mashed potatoes, but I never would have pictured this.

Muffins…I found them in Galway! If I were to hazard a guess this muffin had a lot more butter than any of mine.

The rest of the meal was pretty good too.
