Meat and Drink

Archive - all the best places to eat, shop and stay in Ireland. A local guide to local places.

It's a very meaty issue of Megabites we have for you this time out. From Peter Hannan's Himalayan Salt-Cured beef to McCarthy's Pig-In-A-Day classes, we cover the ways in which great Irish meat artisans produce world-class products. We're back up to Belfast, for the hottest ticket in town, Howard Street, and Leslie Williams looks closely at everyone's favourite Mexican supplier, Lily Ramirez-Foran of Picado Mexican. David Hurley lets us in on the secret of how to make a stunning marmalade and William Barry looks at why Ranelagh's The TapRoom works as a pub and restaurant. All this and a quartet of new Who's Who will keep you warm while the weather rages outside.
