Parmesan and garlic diced roast potatoes. Could eat those all day. Carb-olicious!

Any pasta, or really any Italian dish. Flat leaf parsley should be one of your first go to herbs.

My favourite is spaghetti alle vongole, which consists of clams cooked in their own liquor, then plenty of parsley and chilli. Yes sir.

Anyone been to Brother Hubbards? Apparently their pulled pork sandwich won some sort of best sandwich award. Had it a few weeks ago and thought it was really bland, couldn't see what all the fuss was about. Delish brownies though.

Yeah I've been there a few times. It's ok. Defo seems to push the whole organic/rustic/doesn't-have-to-be-tasty-once-it's-hip vibe.

A new deli opened up near my place, so it's direct competition, but it's so good I have no problem saying it. It's called 147 Deli on Parnell st. Their sandwiches are unreal.

If you're looking for a cracking sandwich try the sandwiches at Poulet Bonne Femme in the Avoca on Suffolk Street (I think there's one in Monkstown too) - they won best sandwich in Dublin there last week so I went and checked 'em out. Unreal!

.ak

Yeah heard they're good. Must get down there sometime.

Speaking of Avoca on suffock street, if you're ever in there for lunch/brunch try the haddock grattin. Dear lord.

Speaking of pulled pork, there's a stall on curved street in Temple Bar over the weekend that sells it. NYOMTASTIC!

Bison Bar does some good meets too, the pulled pork is a winner.

Why did this forum only start organising beer nights and recommending Dublin meat havens after I emigrated? Surely for the sake of your fallen sassanach brethren like Podge, Emmet and myself we can be a bit more sensitive here?! I demand a meat spoiler rule!

Mod edit: And me!!!!!

Can't believe I've only just found this thread.

The last few pages have been fantastic reading, good work gentlemen!

It's actually just an off shoot to "the gathering" and Tourism Ireland have just asked us to remind you all of what you are missing and that you should come back and spend all your money here on Holiday.:pac:

The comedy club was always upstairs, was it not??

Actually you might be right. It's about 10 years since I was in there

I have a 10 minute walk home in this weather. Gonna be drenched!

Sitting at my desk, looking out over the quays and it's horrific. Can see a poor unfortunate bent over double, once in a while, trying to walk against the conditions and inadequately dressed for the occasion.

Might turn the heating up. Makes me feel cold looking at them.

Do you not have to run around in the rain to get wet though?

The Weather guys have a pretty good thread on it.

I'm involved with a network of buildings and there are locations without power all over Limerick, Cork and Kerry; Tralee is the only place in Kerry that we have power gone in. Starting to creep further north.

First time I heard the phrase "contestables" was by EOS on Against the Head after the Scotland game.

How many times have you heard that phrase since??

The best pulled pork sandwich I ever had was at a place in South Carolina that slow cooked an entire pig over night and pulled their pork in the morning. Every bite was what I imagine black america felt when Obama was elected.

Euphoric.

I make pulled pork, marinate the pork in dry rub for 24 hours and then cook overnight for 10-12 hours. By the morning it's literally falling apart, and then you sauce it up.

If you go over to the food forum there is a full pulled pork recipe that seems to have went down very well there.

Beware though, your entire kitchen will smell like amazing pulled pork for the entire day.
