Dublin Airport starts bread war with Knock as people bizarrely turn up with sliced pans

Dublin Airport has sparked a bread war after posting a picture of a man standing in arrivals waiting for a loved one while holding a Brennan's sliced pan.

The picture was in response to a man at Ireland West Airport in Knock in recent days doing the same thing, but instead of Brennan's, he was holding an O'Hara's loaf. 

Posting the image of the man in the West, Ireland West Airport said: "Nothing says welcome home to the West of Ireland more than being greeted in the arrivals hall by your father with a fresh white sliced loaf from O'Haras of Foxford."

People were quick to recognise the sentiment with the breand representing something unique to home for the person he was waiting to come home.

One person wrote: "Proper butter spread thickly, a mug of tea - and home for Christmas. I hope they have the best Christmas ever."

Another added: "Oh my god, what an absolutely lovely dad, such a sweet photo." 

O'Hara's of Foxford even got involved and said: "If anyone knows who this man is could they get a message to him that we are looking for his details to send him on a hamper! He will get our number on the loaf! Thank you all."

Then the Dubs got involved and Dublin Airport posted a rival photograph of a young man waiting for a loved one holding a full Brennan's sliced pan. The caption was cutting to say the least: "Looks like this thing could be catching on. (Albeit with a better calibre of loaf at Dublin Airport!)

It's hard to know whose bread is best; we guess it's all down to local preference but it's an airport arrivals trend we can get on board with.
