Who makes the best grub?

[lfdown2]

I love Mexican. I got spoiled in Arizona of course, so it's hard to get nice stuff here, but Fajitas, Enchiladsas, Chimichangas and Burritos are all gorgeous when done right.

mexican any day of the week, lived on it in san diego!!

italian a close 2nd

any of ye know of a good mexican (restaurant) in the north?

[stpauls]

a lot of you guys will probably scoff at me for this, but i love Bavarian food, especially a Bavarian Platter, which has a selection of meats including Schweinshax'n (pork Knuckle), Schnitzel, Leberkase and Bratwurst, and the usual trimming of SauerKraut and KartoffelSalat!! Yum Yum!

The Whistledown in Warrenpoint is hard to beat.

I'll second that. The same people own the Bridge Bar in Newry so you'll get similar grub in there.....top notch

I have to say I've never been a big fan of steaks. Odd I know but I'd have always prefered a plate of bacon or sausages to a Steak any day of the week. And can't stand Roast beef.
Not really too into my foreign food either unless pizzas count. And you can't beat the Pizzas out of Villa Italia in Belfast.

Wouldn't be a big steak man myself either. OK once in a while, but couldn't eat one regularly. Sooner have grilled sausages and bacon.

Can't quite figure out why so many like the Whistledown where the food is dreary predictable  dumbed-down bistro fare but served with over-sized portions and heavy starchy sauces. Maybe when the new hotel is opened they will smarten up the kitchen.

In the meantime is there ANYBODY in catering in N.I. who can serve a salad or salad garnish that's edible and interesting. Chefs (cooks?) seem to thing a pile of less than fresh coloured leaves a few scrawny tomatoes and a gluey bottled dressing make a salad. Been to Cornwall recently and even the most modest bar or restaurant was serving up zippy fresh slads and sides that were as good as you et in France ot Italy.

My da once went through a period of making assages and horsages, sausage-like delicacies make from ass and horse meat. They were absolutely delicious. Messy oul business kidnapping the horse/ass or catching the stray one and then brutally chopping them up but the end product made it all worth while. Horse meat is sweet and tender. Thought he was on to a big thing until we realised that horse meat was already a big thing in Belgium and Mexico and the Catholic Church were a bit edgy about the whole thing, going right back to Gregory III and Zachary. Eating horse meat is called hippophagy. Ass stew is lovely. We looked up a name for it, as horse stew is called pastissada, but there was no term for it. So my da just called it glump. Wasn't really all that nice as assages though. The
Equus asinus isn't all that tasty on its own.
