@TheUlteriorMotive is The Kerala Kitchen gone ?
I have enjoyed every visit to MP Whites on Dawson Street, professionals - the food and service never disappoints
Jesus you’d have a mighty day at the amusements with that.
Still on Deliveroo now anyway

Twas a fine lamb shank I got at the time but I’ll now be boycotting them.
An unnecessary action by restaurant in fairness
Would a restaurant have that much 5 cent coins nowadays with everyone paying by card?

This chap must have done something to piss off his boss, he probably had to order them 5c from the bank
His boss seems like a right prick.
@Fagan_ODowd I ate in Sha-Roe in Clonegal tonight. It was excellent as always but I fear ridicule from you so am hesitant to share any further details
I celebrated a milestone birthday last week (cc happy birthday thread) with a vacation in Wexford and we managed to smartly offload the children early on Saturday morning.
After dropping out to Páirc Charman to “Hava Coffee” from Lee Chin’s new outlet and watching Faythe Harriers progress to the minor hurling semi-final after a narrow win over Fethard, we made our way to Ardmore, Co Waterford.
We were staying in the Cliff House and dined in The House Restaurant that night. It’s still got the Michelin Star but they’ve only been offering a tasting menu option during pandemic times (see below).
It was all very, very tasty but I had some reservations, which I attribute to my uncouth nature and lack of sophistication (I used to be sophisticated). I know the Michelin Star isn’t awarded solely based on food quality; there’s the ambience, presentation, service etc etc. But I found the theatrics a little bit over the top. The staff are practically in character and putting on a show. A meandering yarn accompanying every plate being delivered on your table (and there were quite a few on a tasting menu) about the lobster being caught in Ardmore Bay earlier that morning by local fisherman Mike Quinn and so on. Then a helpful assistant stepping forward to pour some sauce or something over the dish with an exaggerated flourish. And then wait for the next pair to emerge from behind the curtains.
I get it, people have been DYING from COVID-19 and I really had a lovely stay (cliff walk x2, beach/village run, pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, hot stone massage). But it was like a winger easily beating his man and then waiting for him to get back goal side before doing some wholly unnecessary step overs (cc @peddlerscross).

Sounds like watching Wexford tbh.
Not much substantial on that, did you have to go the chipper after for some proper tea
Juice pairing ffs
