I have an embarrassing penchant for fish burgers, and an even more embarrassing penchant for McDonald’s Filet-o-fish. After a midweek session last week, I desperately craved this particular burger, in full anticipation of ultimate disappointment.
But I wasn’t disappointed - in fact my tired and hungover body and brain spent the entire day craving another filet-o-fish. [...]

It’s been too long, London. But this week I’m heading over for a while.
My last food memories of the city involved lots of Vietnamese food in Camden and too many curries. Bring it on. Now, I’ve significantly less money to spend, and I’ll be spending lots of time in two very different areas: Pinner (north [...]

Our reader Ellen contacts us to say…
I was given 4 jars of honey recently, good stuff made in the Irish countryside, but I have no idea what to do with it apart from the obvious greek yogurt, herbal teas etc.
Can someone suggest nice recipes that include honey so I can try some [...]

Why spend a fortune on dessert? They’re rarely spectacular, especially in some Chinese, Indian, and Italian restaurants, where they’re often pre-bought and formulaic. One regular offender is cheesecake, which can and should be one of the most delectable of sweets - but mostly isn’t.
I used to feel a meal out wasn’t complete without dessert, but [...]

I’m determined to eat pancakes all day, or until I explode, whichever comes first.
This week, you’ll find specials on pancakes in Dunnes, Lidl, SuperValu, Tesco, and Superquinn. SQ are selling five pancakes, freshly made in-store, for €2.99. But a big part of the fun is heading out to breakfast or lunch; I wonder if Superquinn [...]

Last week, I was all set to make this trout recipe for a pregnant friend, so I went to Sea Pearls on Richmond Street (just between Camden St. and the canal).
Sadly, it appears to have closed down. It may have been a warning that my fear of poisoning pregnant women with fish - not just [...]

Like many people, I’ll be looking to buy a few bottles of sweet, sweet booze for Christmas.  I only need to pick up a few for gifts and for the house, and don’t have a large enough order to warrant a trip to the North.  While doing some shopping in Dublin city yesterday I was [...]

I just never know what to do.  How much do you tip a waiter?  Should you tip the poor man who has driven in the pouring rain to deliver your dinner?   Do you tip if you’re just getting a tea or coffee in the coffee shop?  I mean, they have those tip jars [...]

Another interesting email about Tesco, this time from CheapEats reader Bill Gunter:
“I noticed more than a month ago that the Tesco at the Omni Park in Santry, Dublin was selling Epicure organic cannellini beans for €10.30 per tin. When I asked about they told me “if that’s what the price tag says then that must [...]

Payday, oh payday. So I’ve finally got that tyrannical bank manager off my back and it’s time for a well-deserved break. I know that Discover Ireland have some incredibly good deals, which you’ll find here (it’s a large file, beware!), but I’m torn, so I turn to you guys for advice.
Both Delphi Mountain Resort in [...]
