From last week’s blog post we travel from the Land of brisket barbecue, Texas to… Ireland? Wait, wait, wait hear me out. You might just be interested to know that not everything in Ireland is boiled.

YEE HAW! TEXAS BARBECUE
Like most little boys, when I was a young wee Jack I knew I wanted to be a Cowboy when I grew up. Not the sort of Cowboy that would tarmac your drive for £9.50, a true Texan Cowboy. I would often imagine myself as a gun slinger, drinking in old style saloons and lassoing cattle…

CHEAP AS CHIPS CHICKEN LIVERS
Now it’s not a secret that I am partial to a nice piece of meat and I have on occasion been like a kid in a sweet shop when I’m wandering around Smithfield market and planning my excuses to the Mrs when it takes two of us to carry the bag of load back to…
