Spiced Beef

fozzle

Greetings denziens of Cork, I have a question.

Does anyone know if you can still get Spiced Beef (special Cork Christmas dinner food for those who don't know) in the English Market?

I really want some for a Christmas Dinner in Galway, but I'd like to be sure it's still available before I go through all the trauma of getting it sent up here.

Thanks in advance,
fozzle

Not sure about the Old English Market, but if you have a SuperQuinn near you in Galway, they're selling it at the mo - well at least they are here in Limerick.

Yep fozzle, all over the English Market, also available in O'Donovan's on Prince's St and in Dunnes Stores in Cork (maybe Galway too?).

English market has everything! You will find your spiced beef there. "The meat centre" in the english market is the butcher we always go to and he had them every other year

I just saw it in Dunnes Stores on North Main Street yesterday, and I've also seen it in Tesco and in the stall in the market near the Olive stall. It's pretty common.

Didn't realise that it was a Cork thing though. I love it. I used to get it in the Main rest in UCC when they did Christmas dinners

Cool, thanks folks. It is indeed a Cork thing, although my mum introduced it to our local butcher in Co. Waterford too. Stupid me didn'task her to make me some early enough. So now my ickle sister shall buy it and I'll be content, hooray! Thank you! Happy Christmas!

Sorry for hijacking but how can you possibly eat spiced beef. My dad used to always buy and it used stink the place out. Revolting stuff imo.

I agree, its gank! I cant stand the stuff but people seem to like it. It just reassures me, the rest of the world is wrong and i am right

what? spiced beef and tanora are cork things? i cant believe it,they're both beautiful in their own way,where does tanora come from anyway? i assume its not from cork it must be german or something.

spiced beef - as someone mentioned, o'dononans butchers which is on one of the side streets which all look the same, be prepared to queue....

tanora comes from the tanora plant which only grows in cork..fact
