Alcoholic slushies, leftover sourdough crackers and Myles na gCopaleen Day
The Food
Fancy crackers and dip from Oliveto
Few joys in life as are satisfying as dipping some crackers into a flavoured paste. In true Oliveto style, this simple pleasure has been nicely elevated, with a dip made from pistachios, wild garlic and parsley, the big old sesame encrusted cracker has been made in the Sardinian “carta di musica” style from leftover sourdough starter. It looks fresh, unctuous and exactly like we are going to pull our fingers all around the side of the bowl to check that it's all gone at the end.
The Drink
Dark n' Stormy slushies from SOUP ramen
While we patiently wait for SOUP 2 in Smithfield to open the new cocktail bar they've been teasing for weeks, we will have to make do with the unreal drinks that they sling out at their existing premises. The Dark n' Stormy slushie from Dun Laoghaire's SOUP ramen, has been lovingly crafted by the booze-maker in chief Conor Brennan and looks every inch the type of drink, we would like to slurp till it's all gone.
