Night 3 in wild west Eire and it was buffalo chicken wings to start, followed by a goats cheese salad with candied walnuts, sundried tomatoes, rocket, onion, and a balsamic dressing. Had some homemade brown bread on side too.
And of course the obligatory Irish coffee to seal the deal

That looks amazing. How did you make it if you don't mind me asking?
My apologies, I've only just read this. Slice and fry off some chorizo in olive oil, when done remove some of the slices and chuck in a sliced white onion and a few cloves of chopped garlic. Fry until soft then throw in a load of diced potatoes, cover with chicken stock and simmer until the potatoes are cooked. Remove from the heat, when cooled off a little blend it, then return to the heat and add shredded kale. Cook for another 5min or so adding water if need be along with seasoning, then serve using the previously removed chorizo as a garnish, I grated some as well for a crumb for added texture

I used to spend a lot of time in Co Mayo when my nan was still alive over there. Never saw any food that looked like that though, scampi and mashed potato was the highlight back then

Spending 5 days just outside Clifden, in the Connemara region. Stone’s throw from Galway. Lovely bit of the country, I’m really enjoying the rugged wilderness.

And on that note, tonight’s dinner which we had outside at a bar near the island of Inishbofin.
Homemade bread and carrot, orange & ginger soup to start with for me. Soup was delicious
Followed by fresh monkfish goujons on a bed of potato salad, drizzled with a creamy lime & coriander dressing
We honestly haven’t had an even average dinner (never mind bad) since we got here.

Sensible way to make it in my view. Most recipes just boil everything and then blend it in the water and add the kale which is why in quite a few portugese places it just looks like cat vomit
First time I've made it, TBH. The first method I read wasn't how I went about it, thought I could do a better job and it turned out well - thankfully not looking like cat puke 
Neighbours for dinner… the ones that let me use their place while renovating my own kitchen.
