| Sunny Welcome to Irish Distillers in Midleton |
 |
| Had a look at the current lunch menu in Cush. A few changes including the burgers |
 |
| Stout haul from No 21 |
 |
| Rueben? Don't think so! The sandwich, usually grilled (though not here), was invented by a German immigrant Arnold Reuben - there are other contenders! |
 |
| Close up of Wednesday's Reuben at Grumpy Bakers, showing main ingredients: Tom Durcan spiced beef, Hegarty's Templegall cheese, Sauerkraut, also includes Pickles, and mustard mayo, all on wholemeal Sourdough. Quite a feed. And a very tasty one. |
 |
| The Grumpy Bakers have just opened up in the previous O'Donovan's Restaurant (Main Street), which hadbeen closed since 2020. They have now vacated their smaller premises at nearby Broderick Street. They operate also in Washington Street in Cork City. Grumpy are already well-known for their superb Sourdough Breads, their pastries (sweet and savoury) and coffee. I must admit I was quite surprised to see so many people in there last Wednesday coming up to lunchtime, some buying to take away but many settling in for a cuppa and something from the shelves! They have much more room here than in Broderick Street and it looks as if they will need every square foot. |
 |
| An "opened-up" view of the very popular 'The Mediterranean’ with Chicken, House sun blushed tomato pesto, Basil mayo and Yellow Belly farm leaves on Focaccia. The portion on top right is a Reuben.🍗 |
 |
| A tempting Focaccia |
 |
| Going to be enjoying my stout this year and underlined this aim with a handy treble at No 21 Off-Licence in Midleton. Tipperary's Whitefield (our Beer of the Year 2025) is one of the best in the country while 9 White Deer and Dungarvan are also well up in the ratings |
 |
| Made a quick call to the shop at Midleton Distillery and met these two old friends. Just had to invite them home. |
