The Menu: birthday celebrations

Once upon a time when The Menu wielded a skillet in a somewhat professional capacity, a daily port of call was Marie Jaumaud and Martin Guillemot’s pioneering stall in the English Market, to purchase some of their splendid crumbly ricotta.
Sadly, they were subsequently prohibited from selling their raw-milk cheeses in the Market by the blissfully ill-informed health and safety mob, which led to Marie and Martin eventually departing the market, but not before inspiring another Frenchwoman-turned-Corkonian Isabelle Sheridan to open the renowned On The Pig’s Back, to this day, one of the cornerstones of the utterly revitalised English Market.
