Weekend food with Darina Allen

THE way to everyone’s heart is as ever through their tummy, it’s Fathers Day tomorrow so let’s show our love and appreciation and celebrate with a slap up meal for our bestest Dad — what’s his favourite?

In a quick vox pop around here nine out of 10 licked their lips at the mention of a juicy roast beef with all the trimmings — lots of crispy roast potatoes and gravy.

Several asked for a bubbly cauliflower cheese or French fried onions and surprise, surprise, apple tart was the top favourite pudding! It even beat lemon meringue pie into second place. Also mushroom soup which several people said they’d like to start with.
