The menu: Time to grab those last-minute luxuries

The poor old Menu can hardly sleep with excitement, praying this is the year he fights off sleep long enough to finally meet Santa — that, of course, and the humungous preparations for the Christmas dinner. 

While the turkey and ham are long ordered, thoughts now turn to those seasonal Irish vegetables that play an equally starring role on his yuletide table, where the term ‘side’ dish, is considered downright insulting.

The best place to procure finest Irish veg is direct from the farmers themselves, which is why The Menu always, whenever possible, purchases from the farmer’s market.
