Tribe Time Cocktail Corner

Thu, Nov 03, 2016

Name: Traidisiún
The old fashioned style of drink is one of great history and has many stories behind it and will surely be the creator of many more to come. This drink is a drink for drinkers and for the type of person who has a love and passion for great spirits and the great craft of bar tending. For this drink I have moved away from the original which is made with whiskey and have gone for an Irish touch with something that has a great history in Ireland, poitín. It is only in recent years that this beautiful spirit is coming back into fashion and the craft of making it is still very much alive through the local Galway distillery and distiller Padraic Ó Griallais that makes Micil Poitín in Salthill, Galway.

Galway’s sandwich renaissance

Thu, Oct 20, 2016

We are a nation of sandwich eaters. Every cafe, counter, and hatch does its own variation, with ingredients ranging from withered lettuce to flash fried steak, from slathered 'spread' to flavourful aioli. A lot of people consider a sandwich to be a simple construct of a sliver of processed meat or a square of processed cheese between two pieces of white sliced pan, but they are wrong. They think that a sandwich is just a sandwich. Sadly, this tragic, flaccid, excuse for a meal is a lunchtime staple for too many who do not know the magic of a lovingly made 'buttie'. Let's face it, no truly good sandwich is ever going to win any awards in the health stakes, but then if you are looking for a low carb, paleo option you can have a salad.
