A taste of ....... me hole

The Taste of Dublin kicks off today which acccording to some, is the most significant food event in Dublin. A 4 day celebration of fine food and drink in Iveagh Gardens. What a load of wank.

Wannabe Posh bints (Real posh bints can actually afford to eat full portions in the restaurants that are showcasing their signature dishes without having to mix with the neuveautarts in the middle of a field) wanderin around going:

"Jurry, hey Jurry, did you taste the cilantro in this? Isn't it absolutely fontawstic?"

Celebrity chefs that think that they are rock gods, so what, I mean, good lad you can cook but Jesus, get off the fuckin stage! If being able to cook is today's equivalent of Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock, my grandmother should release a Top Ten recipe book, do a world tour, end each gig by setting fire to the food processor and then choke in her sleep coz she drank too much Horlicks before going to bed and forgot to take her false teeth out.

And the prices? The standard ticket is €25(entrance only). Twenty five fuckin euro just to wander around what you can wander around at any other time of year for free. Still I suppose they have to keep the Iveagh Gardens' regulars (wineos and junkies) away just for this weekend. Platinum tickets are €134, with that you get to lick the bowls and spatulas clean of the celebrity chefs at the end of each demonstration.

Anyway, as is usual with any outdoor event in this country, it looks as if it's going to piss down upon their posh heads for the weekend. Good enough for the cunts.

Spot on, Bert. Those tools who spunk 30 yos to pick at microscopic portions served up in Dublin Castle's car park are the worst of the upwardly mobile nouveaus going.
They should be culled, ideally via a nice fatal dose of salmonella in the saffron mayonnaise.

Well what do you expect from the pretentious fucks who write that shit rag Food and Wine... pretentious drivel and just plain insulting to people who actually give a fuck about food.

That bowl of stew i got for 3 quid wasn't exactly a "microscopic portion" if memory serves me correct....although i was so pissed on all the free wine that i may be mistaken.

What an awful way to spend a saturday..

I should have gone to McDonalds and Booze 2 Go.
