I'll be visiting in a couple of weeks and I thought I might ask
if I would be welcome at the restaurant in casual attire? Read that
as "jeans".

| I discovered a new restaurant that opened this week in downtown Nashua,
about halfway between Merrimack and Spitbrook. It's called the Galway
Bay Chipper and I headed down there yesterday with an eye towards fish
and chips for lunch. Unfortunately, their new fry cooker wasn't
working so I looked over the menu and settled on a BLT. The menu said
the BLT used Irish bacon, but the cook, who's not Irish, mistakenly
used regular bacon. When this was realized, I was given a side dish of
Irish bacon at no charge. BLT was $2.70.
The menu bills the fare as "Authentic Irish & English Cuisine" and
if it hadn't been after 11:30 I would have ordered the traditional
Irish breakfast of juice, Irish bacon, black and white puddings,
bangers, tomato, egg, fried spuds and tea for $5.25. The breakfast
menu also includes a variety of eggs, omelettes, sandwiches and side
orders at reasonable prices.
The lunch menu (11:30-2:30) has things like fish and chips for $3.99 or
$4.99, bangers and mash with beans for $3.99, liver and onions, Irish
stew, or shepherds pie for $4.95, assorted sandwiches and burgers and
such side orders as bangers, mushy peas, beans, and onion rings.
They're only open for breakfast and lunch. The owners are two women
from Galway. One of them, Ann Tynan from Tuam, worked in Ballybrit
some years ago, as did her husband, Matt, who SERPed out last year here
in the states. The other woman, Gabrielle Mercier, said she knew keVin,
but I didn't hold that against them.
I'm certainly looking forward to getting back there for breakfast.

Just a slight correction, Gabrielle is actually from Donegal. :-)

change.
Tell him Mike Togher and Myself are planning a visit soon. That should
cheer him up no end.

So Dennis, don't keep us in suspense - where abouts is this
place located in Nashua?
What this area *really* needs is a Culinary Caf� of CORK Cuisine!

Address is 168 1/2 Main Sreet. That's the next block South and the same
side as the Odd Fellows' hall, which is on the corner of the street you
would turn onto if you were going to the Nashua Public Library. Phone
number is (603)889-3620.

The only thing I've heard of crubeens is in the "Galway Races" song.
Pig's feet or some such, right? What's drisheen?
|
| 3.9 | Drisheen = solid Murphy's | CTHQ::COADY | | Mon Mar 22 1993 15:52 | 8 |
|
Drisheen; not being from Cork ( thank god for small mercies), I would
say that Drisheen looks like a bad pint of Murphy's - gone solid,
however I do believe its the Cork version of Haggis, blood pudding dyed
with Murphys.
..... A Galwegian would not be caught dead eating it ( or drinkin
Murphy's).

Aw, hold yer gob! It's obvious from your note you're just jealous
you're not from the greatest city in Ireland - *CORK*!! ;^>
<A Galwegian would not be caught dead eating it ( or drinkin a Murphy's
At least *CORK* doesn't have a festival of eating (slimey) marine bivalve
mollusks! ;^> YUCK!

<Tell me....can you get a decent pizza in Galway?
First of all, I don't know for the life of me, *WHY* you would even
*want* to go to Galway, when you could visit a much nicer, and much
friendlier place - like *CORK*. (The *greatest* city in all of
Ireland!).
I mean, let me put it to you in terms you can appreciate:
If you had your choice of say, going to Kansas, (galway)
or going to the Emerald City (*CORK*) which would you choose?! ;^>
As for pizza, if I'm not mistaken, the first, (or one of the first) real
Italian pizza places opened in *CORK* in 1972. Need I say more? ;^>
|
| 3.13 | so what about Galway Pizza? :*) | TOLKIN::OROURKE | I'm going to Dizz Knee Land! | Mon Mar 22 1993 20:07 | 9 |

Hmmm....how can I answer -1 and stay on the topic.
I might prefer to go to Galway rather than CORK cuz our fearless
moderator might be ****EATING**** in Cork and heaven forbid I meet up
with him over there.

Yeah - but Cork is known as the Texas of Ireland and not just because
its the largest county.
On pizza in GAO, sure, but why go to Galway to eat that, you can have
fish and chips in Pascals, or "those slimey foods" that Joe referred to
as they are a GAlway speciality, tho be careful, eating more than a
half dozen and you'll be in "diminishing returns" - so to speak.
Also vist the Harbour Bar ( referred to in previous NOtes) and all the
other "now tourists" places around the old town area
Stick to Guinness and avoid stuff like Murphy's and Drisheen, believe
me you'll be glad you avoided them.

| 3.15 | Limerick cuisine? | HYDRA::PINKOSKI | | Tue Mar 23 1993 08:53 | 13 |

Does Limerick have any special cuisine?
I hope to tour Ireland next year, and I always like to try the local
'specialties'. Limerick is where I believe my g-g-grandparents came
from.
Does anyone know of a book on Irish regional cuisine available in the
States?
Steve Pinkoski <- great Irish name!
Barrett <- my mom's name. IRISH, not English!

Limerick is famous for the serene quality of its ham (something akin to
the character of its inhabitants!).

The Prosecution rests. Verdict Native Cork food is inedible.

Jee, how do I say this and stay politically correct !, I worked in
Clonmel for many years and being from Galway I travelled to Clonmel via
Limerick on hundreds ( thousands maybe ) of occasions; I never stopped
in Limerick except at the red traffic lights.

| 3.24 | O'Connor's in West Boylston | MPGS::RIORDAN | | Wed Sep 08 1993 17:28 | 23 |
| I just recently went to a place in West Boylston called O'Connor's.
It was GREAT!!! A good portion of my extended family all went out for
dinner there (approx 16 people from 3 family) and everyone raved about
the food (we NEVER agree on anything, this was a first!!). This is the
closest thing I have ever seen to a real Irish Pub in the this area.
The walls are covered with all sorts of memorabilia from Ireland (most
of it is regarding Dublin and Hurling or Rugby). The Host and Hostess
(I believe the owner was the Host) are both from Ireland. I would
STRONGLY recommend the Guiness Stew, actually I would recommend
everything on their menu. The bill was a not shocking either (for
dinner the bill was $140.xx which isn't bad for 16 meals that ranged
from steak to fish to chicken, plust desert, and the appetizers. I
believe the bar bill was separate, I didn't see how much that was.
This place is located off Rte. 190 (the first exit for West Boylston).
Take the first exit for West Boylston (I think it is #2). Take a right
off the exit and the restaurant is located on your left maybe 30 yards
down the road.
If you are ever looking for a good restaurant with great Irish and
American food I would recommend O'Connors in West Boylston!!
