Sat 07 Jul 2009'I stared at it for a few seconds, all furry, like an old cinema corpet'

I wouldn’t usually eat scobie food, but hey, if it raises the old dear’s blood pressure . . .

SO THERE’S me and Ro the other night, sitting in, watching the memorial concert for Mícheál McLeithreas, when the kid tells me that he’s suddenly hungry. Now bear in mind, roysh, what with me being flush at the moment, he could have anything he wants. Could bring him to Ed’s. Could bring him to GBK. Could bring him to Daniels for a lobster that’d put the shits up a nuclear submarine crew. But no, all he’s interested in is hitting Rosie’s, the chipper in Foxrock village, for what’s known as the Heart Stopper – a spice burger, battered sausage, battered burger and large portion of chips, the whole thing fried, naturally, in a bottomless well of grease.
