The world is opening up, just a little. So in June I took the opportunity to skip over the sea to beautiful Bay neighbour Northern Ireland. What a foodie delight; from the beating heart of Belfast to the shores of the Ards Peninsula, I ate like a Mother of Dragons.
Standout taste bud moments for me were chowders and black stuff, then later smoked chocolate passionfruit tortes. Inspired by sticky toffee madeleines with butterscotch sauce (one to mention to the Cartmel folks). It was worth every calorie to be with old & new friends, sharing food stories and lots of laughter.
