Foraging About In The Irish Times
“Writing today in the Irish Times…”
Well now, that’s not a phrase I ever supposed I would use. In reference to myself, I mean.
However, gracing the pages of Wild Ireland, a special report on biodiversity published with today’s Irish Times, there are some words from yours truly on the food you might find in the wilds of Ireland – including dandelions, nettles, wild garlic, mushrooms, carrageen moss and blackberries.
It tops off a week that included a glorious gathering of Irish food bloggers, organised by Donal Skehan and Bord Bia, and about which you can expect a full report anon. Meanwhile, if you can’t get hold of a copy of the Irish Times, here’s what I had to say…

Great job! (Oh how canadian that sounds) Thanks for posting the articles – I check the Times every day, but I don’t seem to get all the supplements on the interweb!! Delighted to see the carrigeen moss!! I went through a phase (which directly related to my ability to GET the moss) of using it as a cold remedy!!
Woohoo the Spud! Still haven’t made it out of the house to get my own copy of the paper so thanks for posting it online.

Foxycoxy: Well, now, if you had added in a high five, I would be getting worried that you had gone completely native on us :) I couldn’t see the supplement online, so I suspect that they only do those in print – I’ll save ya a print copy to look at when you’re home in September!
