€2 tasters liven up the month

While very much the cosmopolitan, gadding about the gourmet globe, snaffling exotic foodstuffs, The Menu retains a special place in his heart for the produce from his own doorstep; local, fresh, sustainable nosebag. So, salutations to chef Kate Lawlor who not only regularly features stellar players from our local culinary constellation but is now offering them at Fenn’s Quay restaurant in the form of €2 tasters for the month of June. Why, a body could have a sterling ‘tapas-style’ feast for a mere ten bucks? Look out for: Rosscarbery Recipes’ White Pudding with Shellfish De La Mer Scallop (Taste of West Cork), John and Mary Cronin’s exquisite Feirm Úr Buttermilk rendered as panna cotta with seasonal fruit; Sea Samphire and wondrous Ballyhoura Mushrooms; Goatsbridge Trout Caviar with micro herbs. Readers will have noticed some of the above have already featured on The Menu’s ‘Daily Specials’, no finer imprimatur! www.fennsquay.com
