Been pretty much absent from work and home for the last two weeks since I've been in Dublin and then in Anglesey, Wales. Dublin was a holiday/press trip, and Anglesey was just a holiday. Both were fab, but I didn't half eat well in Dublin! In fact, I can safely say that I did indeed eat my way around the city!
In Dublin I tried a 'boxty' - which is like like a potato pancake (similar to a Staffordshire oatcake if you've ever tried them) and was stuffed with steak medallions and portobello mushroom cream sauce. Oh yum!
We also ate out in a couple of very trendy restaurants that were just delightful, especially one place called Eden where my starter was one of the best things I've tasted - a duck liver terrine with corn breads and a tomato & cardamom relish & baby leaf salad.
Anglesey was much more a self-catering affair although included the quintessential supper of any seaside holiday - fish & chips. And all I can say is thank the lord I was going on coastal walks for up to 3 to 4 hours a day, because intuitive eating was the last thing on my mind in Dublin, I have to admit. I broke all the 'rules' and didn't pay very much attention at all to being mindful.
Ah well, am home now and trying to get back to normal.
I'm Andrea, and am obsessed with creating fabulous food. After I managed to ditch dieting, the reason Chocolate and Beyond was born, it seemed natural to evolve my site into a foodie blog. More so since I also ditched animal produce to be vegan. Now, I love showing how inventive cruelty-free cooking can be. And sometimes I like to rant, too. I wouldn't be myself otherwise :) x
