Food Blog

My list of food blogs is in sad shape. It’s riddled with link rot and there’s loads of good blogs piling up trying to get on. Rather than put it off any longer, here’s some of them that for some reason have risen to the top. Don’t feel bad if you’re not included, I have to admit I haven’t even glanced at the requests of gotten in the last couple of weeks.

Ice Cream Ireland all about making, eating, pondering about and enjoying sweet things by an Irish ice cream man and chocoholic in Dingle, Ireland with recipes included.”

I include this one because it reminds my of an experiment I was witness to in the Celtic Knot. I think I’ve had a Guinness float (vanilla ice cream and Guinness) but this time it was made with Mackeson Triple Stout. Mackeson is from the London brewery Whitbread. “Wait?” you say, “An English beer in an Irish Ice cream reference?” Not to worry, the stuff is contract brewed here in the USA by Boston Beer Company. Anyway, Mackeson is a perfect dessert stout, thick with chocolaty, coffee and cream essences. It’s sweet with about being cloying. Poured over vanilla ice cream it’s delicious - but I suggested throwing in a shot of Bailey’s - and it became utterly delicious. Sadly, they’re not carrying Mackeson at the moment.

Control+Alt+Chicken “is a new form of cooking show… one in which the chefs don’t know how to cook!” This videocast features Alex Albrecht of Diggnation fame (the hilarious geek-oriented beer-drinking podcast).
