For all things food related, could be tips on eating out or recipies etc..

I'll start it off..heading for Dublin on Sat and need recommendations where I can get a full Irish breakfast in Dublin City center that is good value for money?

I've never been there so I cannot confirm it, but I'm told the Wetherspoons on Abbey St. (I think, somewhere around the Abbey Theatre anyway) does a decent one. Dunno what the place is like but a few mates went in for pints and grease the morning after a match a while back, were happy with it.

The fry up in Spoons is the only decent food they do and it's lovely

Nice one, cheers guys!!

I know that you said full Irish - the place that I was going to suggest, Yum on Camden St., appears to be gone - so I would recommend Brother Hubbard on Capel St.

They do some really interesting Middle-Eastern inspired stuff - and a full Irish.

You are talking €15-20 for breakfast though.

I'd put money down now that Ochoill will enter this thread and suggest some off the wall concoction.

A pitta stuffed with Rancheros, egg salad and a Wham! bar dipped in ramen broth and then coated in taco mayo before deep-frying in Castrol GTX.

:laugh:  No I have no new surprises for ye lately but I will be posting them in here for definite from now on.

I did have a Wigan Kebab for dinner the other day though but that's hardly too bizarre.

Wouldn't say this is odd but had some chorizo in the fridge that needed used, so cooked it with some chopped bacon and added it to pasta with a homemade cheese sauce.  Really nice addition and a tasty dinner in about 25 minutes.

Very nice. Any garlic/onion/pepper/broccoli/spinach in that?

Hubbards looks class! I'm tempted, thanks a million!!

No vegetables, the fridge is very sparse until I go shopping later. Should have added an onion and maybe some garlic to the bacon

The chorizo/empty fridge bizarrely reminded me:

Top tier omelette made by frying off sausage meat (yeah cut the skin off and make mince of it or buy the roll of just meat), crushed fennel seeds, fresh chili, scallions, sesame seeds, black pepper, tiny (fucking tiny) dash of soy, and pinch of salt in some veg oil in the pan until the sausage is done.  Crack a few eggs around it, mix it, cook, don't flip it, crumble some feta into the top, finish under the grill, served with a dash of Frank's hot sauce on top and the leftover green of the scallion on top.

Coco Pops avec bainne.

Lads onother question, anywhere I can get dinner at a decent price, basic food, pasta, burger, steak etc..nothing fancy..

Whereabouts in town are you? If it's basic food you're after, it's not going to be worth traipsing anywhere far for it.
