Donnybrook Fair

[quote=“Bandage, post: 911393, member: 9”]Very good, pal. Would they do a brunch there too? I forgave Herb Street for their racist tweet about John Joe Nevin a while back but wouldn’t mind another decent brunch option in the locality.

There’s another new coffee shop after opening in GCD down the side of The Marker too.

Taxi driver Robert Noone was telling me recently that Herb Street wanted to knock through into the premises between itself and Baker’s but were outbid at auction. They then approached the new owner, who revealed to them that he purchased the building as a present for his missus. She’s apparently going to open a beautician type business there.

All in all, I’m thrilled with the commercial developments in GCD which are pricing the original inhabitants of the area and other lesser well off people away to other neighbourhoods. We could do with a good pub though.[/quote]

Bit late to be starting it at a quarter to six in the evening, I would have thought.

Slice of cantaloupe at the end?

I was going to embellish my post re: corpulent in the relevant thread by somehow invoking @Bandage. Sources tell me that I would have erred gravely. Lithe is now the proper definition.

@Horsebox. Broadly agree with you regarding The Ferryman. Service can be slow and almost grudging, even when it’s not tremendously busy.[/quote]
Hey Bandage, if you are certain of your facts, then really that’s enough for me. Later on I will post a video showing the area before it was redeveloped, which is not intended to prove or disprove your assertions, but is intended to provide an interesting historical context for the area.

Do they stock Bling water in any Donnybrook Fair?

What sort of extra virgin olive oil do they carry?

Too far away, pal.

I started shorting Ireland Inc when Superquinn started to stock Bling water in 2006.

Try Juniors on Bath Avenue, the best brunch in the area apparently.

I like Junior’s but I’m not sure I’d rate it above Herb Street. It’s also barely inside my “willing to walk that far” radius.

I understand they’ve taken Mississippi Mud Pie off their evening menu to try other dessert options. This has caused severe consternation in several quarters.

Eggs Benedict is a favourite of mine, pal. I’ll have a stack of pancakes or French Toast on occasion if I’m feeling naughty. I’d have a full Irish very rarely too. I’d drink Apple Juice and tea or coffee depending on my mood. It’s very enjoyable having Sunday brunch while browsing TFK to see who Kev’s been rowing with overnight.

Would you ever portion of curry sauce and a pint of milk with your brunch

I started shorting Ireland Inc when Superquinn started to stock Bling water in 2006.

The day I bought the flavoured oxygen in a can in Boots was the high tide of my Celtic Tiger excesses.

I went out to car park and used the mouth piece and inhaled oxygen from a can. Lemon flavour. A trapped Chilean miner may have benefited but I think oxygen levels in Ireland are healthy enough.

As it was oxygen I wasn’t sure if the can was empty as it weighed the same before and after.

As an aside the Conference Centre in Spencer dock represents the falling over of the Gasometer and the rebirth of the Docklands

The calorie count in eggs benedict is through the roof mate.

Oh I know and same with the pancakes, pal. Brunch is my weekend treat after working out diligently during the week. Though I’d sometimes get a Mexicano wrap in Donnybrook Fair instead of brunch.
