My most recent breakfast sandwich came after a mad dash at the Dublin airport. With only a 1 hour 15 min layover, I knew my connection in Dublin on my way to San Francisco would be a tight one. So when we sat at the gate in London for an hour with mechanical issues, I was sure I’d be spending the night in Dublin after missing my flight (despite the flight attendants best attempts to assure me otherwise). Never one to back down in the face of adversity, I was determined to make the flight so got my out of shape ass in gear and ran like the wind through the Dublin airport.

I arrived to the gate in what must have been a new airport record, vey out of breath and fortunately with both hamstrings intact, only to find that the flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. With my newfound hour to kill, I went to the food stand Dubh where I had their All Day Breakfast Sandwich and a well deserved pint of Guiness.

The Sandwich

Overall: 4.3 /10

The Good

For a breakfast sandwich I got from a kiosk in an airport, I really liked the sandwich. The egg had good consistency, the tomato gave a good flavor, the mayo gave a great texture (who doesn’t love mayo though), and the turkey wasn’t near as dry as I thought it would be. As a Kansas boy at heart, I also thoroughly enjoyed the thick slices of over-processed white bread. Overall it had a nice comforting simplicity that I rather enjoyed.

The Bad

On the flip side, it was a kiosk stand breakfast sandwich. There was rather little balance and evenness in the flavor. The bread was overpowering, the tomato flavor was only in select bites, it had an extremely thin layer of meat, and (classically) no cheese. The insides of the sandwich itself was concentrated to the middle leaving big bites of bread on the edges. While wholesome, there was no pizazz in this sandwich and it clearly needed a lot of TLC to elevate it beyond the kiosk sandwich level.
