Stuffing makes every sandwich better.
Had one of the Tuna Ciabatta melts from Centra from the daily hot special sandwich for 3 euro.
Tuna and sweetcorn mix with cheese,red onion and taco sauce,and of course my addiction,bottle of Pepsi Max :cool:

Was a very meaty,kind of rubbery(as in,not flaky like salmon) fish,texture similar to sword fish I'd say. Was nice though.

The Lovely Muffin

Cully & Sully Chicken & Veg soup with white crusty rolls.

Perfect for the cold weather.

I had a truly horrific seafood chowder for lunch yesterday. It's incredibly difficult to find a decent one for a decent price in the city.

I've given up trying chowder in Ireland. Best one I ever had was in Boston and nothing has ever come next or near to it! Shame because it is such a delicious dish!

I always get good ones around the coast - Dingle, West and East Cork etc. I had a nice one last week in Amicus, but it was a tiny portion for €6.50 which was a bit of a rip-off.

Padraig Mor

Wife was about to toss a punnet of past-their-best mushrooms into the bin. 'hang on' says I. 30 minutes, some butter, onion and garlic later and we had some delicious mushroom soup!

Faith

Today I had a prawn, bacon and sweetcorn chowder. It had good flavour, but I'd hoped for more. The milk split a little bit in it, which affected the texture. I have a portion left over, so I might try blending a small bit of it tomorrow to thicken it up slightly.

Getting there

Today had chicken liver pate with red onion marmalade, cucumber slices and some lettuce. A bit of a thrown together salad type lunch. yum though

psycho-hope

nothing too exciting just a tesco ham and relish roll and some veg soup

carraghsgem

fresh mackeral fillets from the fishmonger, fried in olive oil, oyster mushrooms fried in olive oil with a garlic clove and italian baby plum tomatoes fried whole along with the mushrooms, served with fresh baked bread and a mug of tea!

I'm surprised!
Amicus is, I reckon, the worst restaurant I've ever eaten in - and I've been twice cause somebody, for some reason, thought I'd like vouchers a few years ago.
Beyond awful!

I agreed with you wholeheartedly until a week ago. Time and time again I ended up eating there and it was always bland, tasteless muck. But they've redone the one in Paul Street recently, and I was really in the mood for a chowder at lunchtime, and I decided to chance them. I think they've gotten a new chef or something, because the chowder was delicious. I went back the next day and got a proper main course and it was delicious too - the same ingredients as before, but this time it was properly seasoned and well balanced. It's not haute cuisine by any means, but it's not bad for a quick lunch.

The Hill Billy

Lunch yesterday was a couple of boiled organic eggs from a neighbour with Mrs Billy's brown bread toasted.
Today I had the fab Hot Wings in The Grill at Ollie's Place in Skerries.

The Lovely Muffin

Tuna in a bap with a cuppa tea.

Was nice for a change.

No sauce/cheese? It sounds unsatisfying.

Slow cooked pork Burrito from Burrito and Blues on Camden Street Dublin.

Awesome. Really fresh salad and salsa. Great texture and flavour. Wish I was in town more often.

I was off today and shopping in town so decided to treat myself.

I had a chicken and bacon casear sald with extra anchovies and a glass of white wine.

(Plus two bottles of water after the anchovies):)

Mint Sauce

Mince stew originally made with 500g mince beef, 2 diced carrots, 1 onion, beef stock, a little bisto, tomato puree, and cracked peper.

Reheated yesterdays left overs on the hob, chucked in 4 boiled baby potatos, and a small tin of peas for the last minute and mixed it all up.

Nope, never been a fan of random processed cheese on stuff. The sauce can be hit and miss as well. That wasn't what was unsatisfying about it though :P

The Chicken Teriaki or Per Peri, on toasted honey oat with cheese is the way to go.

Incorrect. :pac:
Another way to go is a Chicken Fillet kebab from Roberto's with no lettuce but with cheese and their curry chip.
