Gin related. I know dry gin is the most popular style (Gordon's, Cork, Bombay, Tanqueray, etc).
Out of curiosity, I wouldnt mind trying some other styles. I know Hendricks is probably an exception. But apart from that what else do I need to look out for.
Old Tom? Jenever?

[Raoul Duke III]

Just went to Higgins Butchers in Sutton.

Probably the best butchers I've ever been in. They do boerwors. Incredible-looking steaks ageing away in some kind of display case. Great charcuterie counter.

Well worth a trip for the meat lovers.

Thoughts on Gunpowder? Top of the list for me atm

[Guest]

The bottle is class tbf.

[Tar.Aldarion]

It's easily my favourite gin, best thing to come out of leitrim. Just love whatever flavour/aroma the botanicals give it and it kinda ruined a lot of other gins for me. I can smell it a mile off.

Looking forward to liking something more if I can find it.

Brockmans with raspberries & blackberries / decent tonic

Jawbox with Ginger Ale & slice of lime, lovely for the summer

Opihr for a spicy gin.


Current tipples of choice

[Tar.Aldarion]

I know, there's nothing Hitch, maybe the drama when their only traffic light was taken down. That was entertaining at least. Think they are back up to two sets now.

I had jawbox once night and thought it was really nice, must try it again in the sober light of day.

Is there anyone here that absolutely detests gin. I'd drink fucking piss quicker.

Well I wouldn't drink piss at all tbh but I don't like Gin either. Have tasted it loads recently when out with mates and I say just get me whatever you're having. Tastes rank to me but each to their own.

Is there anyone here that absolutely detests gin. I'd drink fucking piss quicker.

I didn't like gin until very recently, as in a few months ago. I'd tried it years ago and really didn't like it.

While in Canada, Mrs Lao's sister pretty much forced the gin upon me, literally would not take no for an answer so I drank a few and they were fairly decent. Since then, it's gin all round, really like the stuff now.

Maybe I got a dodgy gin back in the day as when I tried it then, it was rank.

[Lazare]

Yes

You can thank me for that gig, and Icky. I introduced Kilcullen's local band promoter to CBC at the Rory G fest after hearing about them from Icky.

[Lazare]

Paging Ole, paging Ole.

I have a 1.2kg Rib Roast, gonna BBQ it, how long for med rare typically? I've no thermometer.

[Dice75]

So the missus just rang to say she is going to be delayed for a few hours. How convenient

Now I have to bring the two to a 3yo's Fairy birthday party. WTF is that, man I am so out of my depth here lol.

Hopefully there Gin there.

[Guest]

If it's a single rib it should take about 50 minutes at 170 if it's been sitting at room temperature for an hour or so. Pretty large margin of error with no thermometer though.

[ionapaul]

I'm not a gin fan either, have tried many but just don't like whatever is the common flavour they all share.

Really? Under an hour? I have a fairly good handle on how to set it up at about 170, I've done a few Roast chickens.

Ideally you'd blast it at 220 for the first 10 minutes but not sure how good control you have on your bbq.

Yeah I could do something like that with the vents.

So what you're really saying is its down to icky. Ty icky if you're lurking.

Ah it was a spur of the moment job yesterday evening. Got home from work at 5 and was looking online for ways to entertain myself for the night. It was a close call between CBC and the best off late late folowed by the Daniel O Donnell show. Thankfully herself was up for a road trip

They're in the workmans on July 14th. You've plenty notice now so no excuse not to make it

Would that be a London dry style also?

Any recomenations for a sweeter style? Old Tom I think they are called.
Or are they hard to find for good reason.

I think it's green tea. It's where the name comes from. (Gunpowder Tea)

Perfect day to have got stuck in work

@Tar, do I have to go online to get vegan shoes or can I get them in Dublin?

[ComradeCollie]

Why don't you have a thermometer? Seriously that's up there with flat earthers, though more wreckless.

So nice today, one of those rare ones where it's balmy at midnight.

Just meant one of these yokes. For the price of a pint you can check that chicken has reached 165f or whatever https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Cooking-D...ter+Food&psc=1

Oh I have a meat thermometer but that doesn't help me. I need to know the internal temp of the BBQ kettle.

Have it on now anyway, few Cabernet Oak chips in there, bit of rub on the meat. Gave the vents full blast for 15 mins then half closed them, I'll check on it in half an hour with the meat thermometer and judge then.

Bit of crusty bread, coleslaw and a mozzarella basil and tomato salad, generously drenched in aceto balsamico to go along.

Al Fresco, if I haven't bbvd it. Sorry Keano.

Where did you say you lived again m8, getting my second wind all of a sudden

[Theresa]

killer temps here. grand if your on holliers, but awful stuff for lugging the shopping and buggy around. That Dublin 27 degrees is the sweet spot for enjoyable weather imo.

I'm in Phoenix tomorrow!

49 degrees on Tue. Over 45 all week.

Nuts. I had to rebook a hotel with better amenities because I cant really go outside! Apparently its record breaking heat.

I fuckin hope its off by now !

Without a thermometer, its guess work, horrible to ruin a piece of meat by guessing. My advice, get an instant read thermometer, a thermopen is what i use.

A BBQ at direct heat, no more than 1.15hrs

[Raoul Duke III]

sweat not the optimal flavour

Higgins' meat delivered. Boerwors was excellent.
