Best bet there alright. The amount of decent blaas dropped with the closure of the portlaw bakery

Sully

SuperQuinn make them since the store was cleaned up there a while ago

BlaasForRafa

The Spar on barrack street have good crusty blaas, maybe they get them from Hickeys?

Best crusty blaas can be got it Day Today in Griffith Place. I highly recommend their crusty ham salad blaa :pac: A close second is the Corner Shop on the Upper Yellow Road. I have a rule that you have to be able to knock on the blaa to make sure they are crusty enough!! I love fresh tayto crumbled in a rock hard blaa with small bit of dairy gold & a slice of cheese or a meanie blaa. Can't stand soft blaas in this house!

Fajitas!

Jesus, I'd murder a tayto blaa.

Though, we all know that the best blaa's come from south Kilkenny

Heh, Hearney's ftw.

I think I'll grab a tayto blaa for the spin up to Dublin today.

Anyways, I've always been a soft blaa kinda guy. What are Superquinns blaa's like?

Out of curiosity, has this always been the case? Even since the new store? I ask because one of the staff members at the bakery was explaining that they couldn't cook them in-store for ages as the machine was broken and with the new store the cooker would be finally fixed/replaced so they could start making them again. Just curious does/did it make any difference or are they still crap?

I haven't had a blaa in ages - they don't look fresh anywhere in Tramore. Must head into town and get some. Whens the best time to get them in town?

pommers

Didn't see any in there since the makeover, so might pop in and see what they are like now! But don't think they could beat harneys bakery,as good n all as they are in superquinn. They also have nice blaas in centra in Tramore but ya would want ta be up there early,i suppose ya would want ta get your blaas early no matter where ya get em!

The old Centra up at the Cove used to have them around lunch time.. I forgot about the new Centra. What time roughly is a good time?

:eek:Get yourself down to barrack street to hickeys bakery tomorrow and get a lovely crusty blaa for yourself!!

Supertech

Mang, you don't know what you're missing !

BlaasForRafa

The blaas from walshes bakery over on ballybricken used to be the best ever, very sad when that closed down (its where the bookies is now, between the strip joint and the exchange bar)

luvlylady

The Corner Shop at the top of the Yellow Road do proper crusty blaas. I hate shops that sell imitation blaas, they're just full of air. I wouldn't go passed The Corner shop for my crusty blaa!

mang

i walk/cycle past hickeys everyday, i never go in.. i guess ill have to find someone to hold my hand

Elle Victorine

They are amazing. Especially ham salad ones with taytos!

Stick 2 sausages and red sauce in there and you got yourself a deal mister!

KingLoser

Texaco on Military Road do fine blaas, and they're open at 5am-ish, which is nice for those of us unfortunate enough to be awake at that time.

Elle Victorine

It's a pity baker street isn't open anymore....or the green bank...if that's the name of it. They were lovely.

God yeah delicious.

I prefer the soft blaas.

WiseMona

Hello,
Does anyone have a recipe for making Blaa?
We were in Waterford for the SlowFood weekend earlier this month and I think now a little addicted to the soft rolls.:D

btw do Greers still make blaas? They had rather odd blaas...but rather appealing too.

they also used to have brown bread blaas which my brother used to like (I wasn't mad on them, just not right)

paddy1mac

Here's one for ye,

Tayto cheese and onion and a twix bar scrunched into a well buttered blaa - ah yes boi

Moiph

And a twix bar?? Interesting addition!

Anyone notice how Spraoi has gone downhill since the free sausage blaa's arent given out anymore? Haha.

Fajitas!

Twix bar and butter?


No way tbh!

Oh, those free blaa's were the business. Just what you need after a few pints!

Want to make some handy money anyone? Fresh blaa's with sausages, rasher and 'mato sauce at 3 in the morning. Or a savoury menu, with the single entry of C&O Tayto's.

Make a bomb!

_FRANK_

yea i've noticed the spraoi attendance has dropped considerably since the free blaas stopped.mind you their attendance really dropped the following year,after they stopped people selling jewelery on the street.afaia shopkeepers said it was unfair after sponsoring spraoi.maybe the blaa bakers submitted a complaint when they found out free blaas were being offered out at spraoi.

halfinch

Up the soft blaas

with plenty of butter and tayto

mmmmmmm

+1 for soft blaas

Someone should convert an ice cream van into the blaa mobile to park outside schools during the day and nightclubs at night.
