Sweet Cigarettes - Shurely Shome Mishtake
Tuesday, June 20th, 2006I came across these sweet cigarettes,
in our local Spar shop on Sunday.
Maybe I’m out of touch with children’s sweets but I haven’t seen anything like this,
since my dad ran a sweet shop in Artane (Dublin) in the 1970s (when everybody smoked).
Given the common knowledge that cigarette companies sales are in terminal decline and as a result they are targetting younger and younger demographics, isn’t it somewhat irresponsible to be selling such lifelike cigarette sweets?
(Conspiracy theorists can ponder the fact the Ferton France SA who manufacture these sweets have no website to speak off, they couldn’t possibly have links to big tobacco, could they? Who knows?)
Big Ed’s Easy Diner
Thursday, April 13th, 2006Ed’s Easy Diner tucked behind the Palace Theater off Cambridge Circus is quite simply the best short order food on offer in the Northern Hemisphere. I ate here practically every weekend for about ten years when I lived in London and I went back yesterday to exactly the same service, quality and life renewing burgers I left behind 8 years ago.
Some things do not fade….
Screw Software - Curry Sauce is where the money is
Wednesday, April 5th, 2006Ok a bag of chips €2 I can just about stomach, but an additional €2 to throw a cup of curry sauce over the top, someone is taking the piss. I reckon a weeks supply of the stuff couldn’t cost more than €10.
Don’t even try and get me started on garlic sauce….
The Stonecutter : Fantastic Food
Saturday, March 25th, 2006I happened to be in Aughrim today and stopped in on The Stonecutter Cafe. I had a bowl of pasta with meatballs that renewed my faith in Italian food. The sauce was absolutely zinging with freshness and flavour and the meatballs were meltingly delicious.  The other food being served around me looked pretty mouth watering, especially the roast pork.
Well worth a detour if you are in that neck of the woods.
One from the “I want one department”
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006Pancake Tuesday : Memo to self…
Tuesday, February 28th, 2006Egg subsitute and rice milk when combined in the standard proportions for pancake mix make a substance that is probably patentable as a new glue. Non-stick pans don’t stand a chance….
Once the pancake is removed from the pan (throw that pan out by the way, no dishwasher is up to the task, and life’s too short to scrub that hard) put straight in the bin.
Under no circumstances try to ingest aforementioned substance.
