The Dealer was enjoying a nice breakfast in the Charleville Park Hotel last week when the very efficient and friendly staff dropped me over some toast. I nearly coughed up my All-Bran when, to my dismay, I saw margarine on my plate and not real butter.

I scoured the hotel looking for the real stuff when I was informed that the hotel did not stock butter. Charleville is also the headquarters of the Kerry Group’s agribusiness division. Since then, the hotel has agreed to stock the real stuff. Butter is best.
