Madam, - Paul Griffin's letter of March 15th entitled "The dwindling Irish breakfast" makes depressing reading.
My experience on frequent visits to Leitrim is quite the opposite. In one B&B - Slevin's of Mohill - we had to ask Mrs Slevin to please reduce the helpings as one could not possibly consume all that was presented: orange jutice, choice of cereals, big fry consisting of two pieces of black pudding, two pieces of white pudding, two rashers, four sausages, one egg, some tomato and the pièce de résistance: two slices of finest Leitrim boxty.
I suggest that Mr Griffin visit Lovely Leitrim and enjoy meeting wonderful people, fantastic scenery and marvellous hospitality and - lest we forget - a top class breakfast. - Yours, etc.,
PETER GORDON, Beechpark Lawn, Dublin 15.
