Let me tell you, Irish food is delicious! When we left our hotel this morning, we didn't have anything to eat. Not that we are cheap or anything, but breakfast would have cost us 10.00Euro each and we didn't want to spend that much! So we thought we would pick up the car at 9am and then stop off somewhere on the way to Cashel and eat. No problem, Right? Wrong! We were uncomfortable to get off the freeway too soon because Bud should be comfortable driving on the left hand side. So we stayed on the freeway longer than planned. Then we thought we would catch breakfast in Kilkenny, but parking, easy parking was difficult, so we kept going...all the way to Cashel! The first restaurant we came to there was a parking spot right in front of it, so we parked. There was a chalkboard with specials on it, Seafood Chowder 8.50 Euro.
WOW! Delicious! Creamy Seafood Chowder! Perfection!!!
The bread was homemade!!!!
After lunch we checked into our hotel and put our luggage in the room. We then shopped and went to the Cashel Castle!
Then at 7:00pm or 19:00, we went to the Bar at the hotel! Unknown to us, we were in a very historical bar...this was the first bar in Ireland, or the whole wide world, that the first pull of a Guinness Beer happened! So Bud's first Guinness happened here too!
I had tea, the Irish way, no not with Bailey's silly, with sugar and cream!
And then we had dinner, what do you think we had> What do we have a Maher's in Lake Oswego?
If you guessed Bangers and Mash you guessed right! And then we had dessert! Toffee cake and Butterscotch sauce!
It was a very special night! The bartenders were very nice and welcomed us and told us about Cashel.
I love these pub photos! The food looks amazing. Guess what we had for dinner tonight? KFC. :)
ReplyDeleteThe food has been great! There have been only two pubs that were kinda sad, but we were so hungry we ate it all gone! Welcome to KFC world! I actually like KFC but I feel guilty eating it if I should be eating food from the country that I am in! But this bar, called the Guinness Bar, was like a Stanford's! Nice!
