Special dressing: Van Morrison (turn the player on)
I just came back from Dublin, Ireland. And I just fell in love with their people, their streets, their pubs, their guinness beer, their irish coffees, their good mood, their food, their music, their proudness... What a lovely country!
I spend four days in Dublin, my husband went there for work and I went for vacation. I met two other "girls" whom also accompanied their husbands: Núria and Aitana. We didn't know each other and we immediately connected! The first day we visited the city and had such a good time! Aitana had been living there for 4 years and she knew the right places to go. It was magic!
The rain was an excelent excuse to adopt their tradition: Pubs, guinness, celtic music and irish coffee... the best way to keep warm inside. We had such good laughs.
In Dublin there's two big factories: the Guinness and the Jameson: Guinness, as you surely know is a dark and intense beer, it's part of their culture, they even have a contest every 4 years to award the best Guinness' barman's pouring. It's a great honour for the barman and the pub to become winners of the contest. Jameson is a wiskey's (that's the way they write it) factory and there is nothing better in the world than a Irish coffee done with Jameson! First pour the wiskey, then the coffee, after the cream and on top a bit of cinnamon or chocolate.
We went to some pubs to have a quick bite and to some restaurants to have a better taste of their food: this is what I had - Soups of the day, mushrooms soup, fish soup, - Irish stew - Suckling pig with potatoes - Seabass with white sauce - Monkfish with prawns and all kinds of beers. I really enjoy their food!

A message to misslionheart: We could not get a table at Trocadero!!! Full all time!!! We have a good excuse to go back to Ireland now.
