“Horrific” $10 eggs on toast airport breakfast slammed
An Aussie traveller’s post has gone viral after he shared a photo of an airport breakfast he purchased in England.
Reddit user M1BG shared a picture of the $10.21 (£5.70) “eggs on toast” that he bought from fast-food outlet Friska at Luton Airport in England.
Instead of a delicious breakfast, the traveller received three watery eggs and two triangles of warm bread in a cardboard box.
“Tbh I was hoping a little more effort would have gone into my £5.70 eggs on toast breakfast from Friska at Luton Airport,” he wrote.
The appalling breakfast immediately started to gain attention on the internet, and one user jokingly dubbed the meal “eggs near toast”.
The traveller claimed the word ‘toast’ did not come close to describing what he received in the cardboard box, and said it was nothing more than “dried bread”.
Some users also claimed that the traveller’s first mistake was going “anywhere near Luton” in the first place.
“I live here, not at all worth it,” wrote one Reddit user.
Another user agreed: “Having expectations in Luton will only lead to disappointment.”
However, most people were outraged at the expensive price of the lacklustre meal.
One person empathised that the traveller had wasted $10.
Despite calling out the fast-food outlet for the disappointing meal, the traveller never revealed if he still ate and finished his breakfast.
Friska co-founder, Griff Holland, told The Sun Online: “I can totally understand why the person who posted the picture felt disappointed by the presentation of the poached eggs on toast they were served this morning.”
Griff continued, “They didn’t look as they should’ve done and I am working with the franchise operator to make sure that the presentation of all our dishes is always up to scratch.
“Mistakes sometimes happen when you are serving over 7,000 people per week and we’d love to invite the customer back for a breakfast on us to win back their trust in what we do and how we do it.”
