Taste of the Week
The Farmgate's Seeded White Soda Bread.
Our Taste of the Week has been a favourite here for quite a while, a favourite also in the Farmgate Café in the English Market. They sell it at their stall downstairs but you need to get in reasonably early in the morning as the white sells out quickly!

Baci di Dama by West Cork Biscuits
Ready for this week’s Italian lesson? Baci di Dama means Lady’s Kisses and yes, with almonds and Belgian chocolate among the ingredients, they are the sweetest and our Taste of the Week.
They are produced by the West Cork Biscuit Company from Dunmanway, who have been making good things there since 2003.
You won’t find big automatic production lines here. “We make all our own dough in small batches, portioning and shaping by hand, then baking them in traditional ovens…..We source only natural ingredients as locally as possible, meaning…you are getting wholesome food made with you in mind.”
I picked up my packet during an unplanned stop at the Avoca shop in Molls Gap during a recent trip to the Kingdom.
They make a whole of tasty stuff in Dunmanway and you’ll find lots of info here.

The Apple Farm’s Apple Crisps
Have you had the opportunity to try the Apple Farm Apple Crisps? If not, do look out for them as they are our Taste of the Week.
Con Traas makes his delicious product with slow-dried Irish Elstar Apples. He grows some sixty varieties of apple in Cahir and the October ripening Elstar is the one chosen for these gorgeous crisps.
They are little circles of delight. The first “feel” on your tongue may lack promise. But just give it a second or two. Then the dried apple softens and the magical apple juices start to flow across the palate.
Quite a delight and glad to mention it here as Taste of the Week.
Check out their website, including online shop, for more details.
