To get the feeling of a country, you need to get outside the big city. Dublin is great, with so much to see, but we wanted to get some country life feeling, and took the train out to the sea, to the small fishing village Howth.
Only 20 minutes by train, and all of a sudden we were in quite another world.
The weather was perfect, just like I imagine Irish westher to be. A little reain in the morning, then a combination of sun, clouds and a lot of fresh wind. With the wind came the smell of the sea, and everywhere you could hear the seagulls´music.
Howth is known for its local food, and everywhere you found local restaurants serving fish and seafood. We looked in at several along the pier and had to smile when we found small coffee shops inside the fish markets. A great combination :-)
We had tea and scones with butter, cream and jam down there, but walked up the hills for lunch. There we found The House, a combined restaurant and art gallery. And we found great food. I had a fishcake of haddock, served with the best tomato sauce I have ever tasted. After I had finished my meal I had to ask for some more, to give Terje, and to try to figure out how it was made.
......yes, I do think I could pick out the different ingredients, and will try it when I come home :-)
By the way, The House has a special recipe webpage, take a look here.
