Grease is Good

The Blog
Born in March 2009, after much ruminating, this blog is my an attempt to convert post-Celtic Tiger Ireland to offal in a time of scarcity. Grease is good. Animal bits are good. Offal is good. Or a way to distract myself from the dread and gloom of the economic crisis while also being an echo chamber in which to shout enthusiastically about how exciting (and cheap) offal is.

In this blog I’ll probably write about (in no order): sourcing offal, preparing and cooking offal, testing and providing offal recipes, exploring what wines suit offal, featuring information and possibly interviews (at least encounters) with Ireland’s craft butchers and other food suppliers about their profession, discovering Irish produce, and probably loads more.

If the blog is about anything, it’s about, first off, learning to respect and love food, and by that, I also mean respecting animals enough to eat them from nose to tail! It’s about spreading knowledge we’ve lost or have only begun to discover, it’s about flavour and it’s about being thrifty.

I don’t know what else to write. I’ll come back and fix this later.
