Satisfying appetites
SUNDAY LUNCH isn’t just an institution in Irish homes. It’s an excuse to take the family out to hotels and restaurants at a time when kids aren’t viewed as evil spirits, a chance to indulge in great steaming lumps of roast beef, chicken, pork and lamb hauled from slow-braising ovens.
It’s dinner in the middle of the day, with added convenience and fanciness. You can queue up at carveries or savour set menus at posh hotels. At The Exchequer gastro-pub in Dublin, you can even pre-order a full roast chicken or rack of pork for your table — carving it yourself and dishing out the stuffing, spuds and vegetables without having to worry about the washing-up.
