Man treated to ‘protein rich’ breakfast as he finds insects inside bread roll

Comedian Martin Warde discovered a less than amusing surprise in his breakfast.

After grabbing a sandwich at Dublin Airport, he found two insects embedded in the bread.

However the comedian possibly isn’t too annoyed, as he told Dublin Live that he is “on a protein rich diet.”

He said he was rushing to catch a bus to Galway and bought the roll with minutes to spare.

While he made the bus, he was horrified to find insects stuck to his food.

In a tweet he said: "Just bought this breakfast roll in the shop at Terminal 1 at Dublin Airport. Why are there two weird looking insects stuck to it? F**king disgusting?."

He added: "It was disgusting to find but I was on the bus by the time I opened the roll.

"They look like they were mid throws of love making too, lucky little s**ts.

“Anyway, I'm on a protein rich diet and you wouldn't complain if a barman accidentally gave you an extra pint. I ate them".

He added: "I didn't make a complaint, I did tweet them however, with no response.

"It looks like the roll was used to swat two flies that may have been on a counter.

"I'm more annoyed I wasn't asked if I'd like flies with that. They missed a trick there I reckon."

A spokesman for Dublin Airport said: “We have contacted Mr Warde, apologised for the unacceptable experience that he had at one of the food outlets here, and sought further information from him to help us investigate the issue.

"We have raised the issue with the company that operates the outlet in question and it has also apologised to Mr Warde directly.

"The company has confirmed that the issue did not arise within its Dublin Airport outlet, as its bread rolls are sourced externally.

"The company is investigating this incident with its supplier and will report back to Mr Warde and to Dublin Airport officials in due course.

"Given the number of food items purchased and consumed at the airport campus daily, the number of food safety complaints that are received each year is miniscule.

"However, we take all complaints of this nature very seriously, and all of the firms that operate food outlets on the airport campus have to abide by all applicable national and EU food safety regulations at all times.”

Martin concluded: "I've eaten much worse, believe me."
