You'd expect
Irish folk singers The Dubliners to be enthusiastic
about the hometown from which they took their name - but that
two of the group are experts on the city's culinary culture,
too, came as a surprise to Brendan Martin. Recipes Jill Cox.
From across the table in Gallagher's Boxty House, Dublin's
newest traditionally Irish restaurant, John Shehan - one-filth
of the Irish folk-singing group The Dubliners - admits
he enjoys experimenting in the kitchen a little.
'It's a bit of a hobby of mine." he says. "I
get a great kick out of making simple things such as apple
tarts. But I don't cheat by using frozen pastry - I make it
with flour and margarine. My apple and rhubarb tarts are pretty
good!"
Fellow Dubliner Ronnie Drew cooks. too, but reckons he's "strictly
a one-pot person". Both culinary confessions come
as a surprise, as the pair have spent
more than a quarter of a century singing songs that some would
describe as macho, hard-drinking men's music, and have an
image to match. |
