Most farmers are inhuman in their appetites
A meal out is recommended for its quantity not its quality usually
The phrase is âyou get a great feed at place X I could hardly finish my dinner thereâ
I could tell of the carbonara at one hotel if you wish

At a rally in SW Co Cork we were looked after well by an hotel
This was evident in the dinner servings
We both ordered chicken carbonara and the dish appears in two soup tureens full to the gunwhales of pasta in a bacon cream sauce with 4 chicken fillets lurking in the depths of each bowl
Then the waitress appeared with two dishes of potatoes and vegetables
When we said we couldnât eat them she was most distressed wanting us to at least have chips as a dinner was not right without potatoesâŚ

Just back from a little walk along the lane right by this cottage. Carpets of snowdrops along the verge and we were treated to the sight of 2 hares boxing in our neighbourâs horse paddock. Yay, spring is coming!

Gus Ireland is the land of the Holy Potato
And the famine is almost thought of as being in living memory
I am bemused by the dependence on one staple starch still occurs

I think Iâve told in here before of the roast beef dinner we we served in Ireland. It came with a huge pile of roast potatoes plus lots of new potatoes, and the whole meal was served of a bed of mashed potatoes. Then the waitress asked if we would like chips with it.

Thatâs about right
One reason the hotel food last weekend was so good is that it was generous portions but not overwhelming fresh cooked to order with only one starch offered

Massive platefuls of food put me off before I start. Mahoosive yorkshire pudding? No thanks. Piles of tatties? Barf. Iâm more likely to have a starter dish as a main, these days.
We had a successful coffee morning and sold all of the cheese scones I provided (with the rest residing in our freezer, for safetyâs sake).Toying with the idea ovvan walk.

The chip bap, on the other hand, is a masterpiece of culinary subtlety.

I suppose a Fulton STARS harness would be tricky to tailor into the dress, though the idea of being able to change oneâs mind, pop a balloon, and be whisked away by a C-130 would be awfully appealingâŚ
