Colm O'Regan: Sometimes all you want is a biscuit

Surely an institution like a biscuit, the defence of which was a key element of the 1916 Rising, deserves a course all by itself.

It’s been a good meal. The first in a nice (by ourselves, no chips) restaurant since The Thing.

We didn’t have a booking, but the front desk person agreed to squeeze us in if we could be finished by 8 o’clock. I assured them we would be.
