    Those weren't hallucinations, that King Billy riding his white charger out of the end of a house and the coloured curbstones are real. :eek:. Trippy stuff.

    I won't be inviting you up on July 12th so. King Billy would not approve!

    I know a barman that goes over there everyday to eat that breakfast. He was a skinny little thing but in the past year the fúcker has become huge.

    Got the most hallucinogenic food poisoning from the one in Belfast once. Good times.

    Did you have the reindeer? In a Fly Agaric sauce...

    The meatballs are excellent. Avoid the cherry soda, it tastes like calpol.

    Calpol tastes lovely.

    I actually don't remember - it's a part of my life I try to forget. I lived a short drive from it but it was the longest 10 mins of my life trying to get home that day. Very entertaining from recollection though.

    Ok, you didn't have reindeer in a Fly Agaric sauce, I'm pretty sure of that.

    Yup, the dime cake is nice alright, as is the pastry parcel with the goat's cheese and mixed peppers... at least that's what I think it was...

    The breakfast is muck, dont bother with it, Terrible beans (undercooked) Sausages only okay, Bacon was thick more like gammon, I think it was gammon. Tomatoes were undercooked. Hash browns were terrible. In fact it wasnt worth it.

    No idea about the rest of the food. Oh and theyre minerals taste awful too, especially the orange.

    I wasn't too keen on the Soylent Green on toast myself...apparently it's made of people.

    This sounds fantastic, with a bit of planning seeing as there is so much furniture etc there you could live in Ikea for a about €35 a week.

    Got the chicken there, it definitely wasnt chicken fillet. Was more like spam or something. Its cheap but its not food of any decent quality at all

    You get what you pay for really.

    Pretty similar to the furniture they sell. The bulk of it is compressed cardboard and wood fiber it's sh1te.

    Had a "turkey dinner" in there last Xmas.. portions were tiny and the roast spuds were disgusting and burnt to a crisp..

    The Dáim cake is to die for though.. They're mad for Dáim in there..

    This idea that the cheapest food we can get our hands on is the best option is a good chunk of the reason why we are a nation of fat layabouts.
    We should be spending more on food not taking part in a race to buy the cheapest crap we can get our hands on.
