I have never had garlic spuds in Sinnotts. Also while their beef is excellent and there is loads of quantity, their vegetables are frozen sometimes and plied with salt.
And its a ridiculous argument to say that a busier pub displays a better carvery. I have actually eaten the arvery in both places and would rate Long Stone far higher. Real taste of homemade food off it and you are never bloated.
I’m still farting from the chicken and cashew nut stir fry I made earlier. What’s worse is I made enough to bring for my lunch tomorrow too, so it could be one smelly office come 3 p.m.
I’ve had it in a restaurant Runt but never made it myself. I’ve just googled the recipe and it looks fairly straight forward. Might give it a go at the weekend.
I wouldn’t say wasting your time. The honey is for taste obviously, so put that bit aside. But those flahavans things have a nice bit of sugar in them already. If you go to any health shop/organic store you’ll get a massive bag of “Jumbo Oats” for around 3 euro. Weell worth it, and i’d say far cheaper overall that the more manufactured stuff anyway.
If you can soak over night they go up another notch.
A fella called a half an hour ago selling fish, got 3 mackerel from him, caught by rod only today i believe. Absolutely savage. Fried them in shallow sunflour oil, bit of fish sauce. Unbelieveable.
But on top of that i made a startling discovery. I had nothing really to go with it as i wanted to cook it asap, so when cooked i saw a pack of Carrs cracker melts on the counter, so i took 4 out just to have something different. Then i decided to pour a little of the oil from the left-over pan over them. Holy fuck, one of the nicest tastes i’ve had in a long while.
Time for a few rasher sandwiches, had a few pints earlier and made the mistake of going to bed for 3hours, the head is thumping now and I’m burnt to a crisp too.
