I sometimes use pearl barley in stews. It takes longer to cook than rice.

I agree it is more filling. I don't see any reason why you wouldn't use it as long as you cook it properly. There are lots of recipes on the interweb using barley in curries.

My father had a springer spaniel once and named it Rackard! He had a habit of naming his dogs after people....had another dog that he called Sheila...when asked why, his reply was...'well, they're both bitches...'

I knew a lad who had a dog. Lets say his name was Mr. O'Sullivan. The dog was called Stephen.

But the dog was always called by the full family name - Stephen O'Sullivan.

You'd call over to him, and he'd be shouting at the dog 'Stephen O'Sullivan, come back here now' or maybe you'd meet him, and he'd ask you 'have you seen Stephen O'Sullivan?'

We took no notice, but when someone else heard, they'd think 'who is he shouting at? Is someeone missing?'

What's it like, have you eaten it. I must look up some recipes and try it.
Thanks for that, I never would have thought of using oats to make a risotto

Easiest beef stew ever...
500g stewing beef, 1 chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, 1 chopped leek or celery stick, (or whatever veg you like), 1 crushed clove of garlic, 0.5tsp cinnamon, 250ml beef stock, 2tbsp tomato purée, 25g chopped parsley, 0.5tsp dried thyme, 2 bay leaves, salt & pepper to season, cornflour mixed with water to thicken if needed.
Brown the beef, add it to a slow cooker along with everything else and cook on Low setting for 6-8 hours. Take out the bay leaves before eating.

HAHA! It's brilliant though. About time farmers started appreciating the fruits of they're labour in the best possible fashion!

I have another Dublin recommendation. This time for the beef farmer.

Darwin's on Aungier st.

I don't go to steakhouses cause I reckon I can cook as well as any of them. (I mean that, not boasting, but I've been doing it for a long time)

These guy are different. The cuts, way they cook the beef, it's unbelievable. The Irish Black Angus Rib Eye on the Bone is amazing. Ask them what way it should be cooked and go with their advice.

Portions are huge too. The decor is a bit dodgy, it's all about the beef. No frills place, girls that run it are adorable (Mum and daughter), staff are great fun, no bollicks, just bullocks.

Ate at a Restauraunt along the beach in Bray yesterday. It was called Butler&Barrys. Would definitely recommend it. Great View, great food and it is not too dear.

The Wild Honey Inn in Lisdoonvarna just landed a Michelin star, the first pub in Ireland to do so. Amazing food, highly recommended.

Yeah booked Oriel house it was only 80e on booking for the room it was 107e if you added breakfast. I'll keep an eye out for that applegreen. There's always McDonald's for breakfast if I'm really stuck.

There's a diner on the way into Bandon which the kids swear by, always forget the name of it myself but on the left just before Atkins on the mart side of town.
