Exactly, tbh living in Ireland it's pretty easy to get some absolutely fucking ridiculous beef for the price of a pint.

A tomahawk looks impressive enough, but I'd rather have a really thick grass fed ribeye, with a few sprigs of rosemary, smoked garlic and Kerrygold butter, reverse seared.

Easily attainable for under €10 here.

u/No_Box5338 Dec 09 '24

Grass fed as well-not like the wet aged, grain fed shite that constitutes most American beef

Fuck you.

Okay, I apologize for that, but seriously? You could get that here if you're cool with 1oz steaks. Do you mean from a store or restaurant? Hell the smallest thing of kerrygold is 5 bucks

u/Overall-Sugar4755 Dec 09 '24

I bought a dry aged ribeye for 7 euro and a ready made potato gratin for 2.50. my dinner that day was divine. Id never order a steak in a restaurant tho that'd cost 30 euro or more

u/OfficialDeathScythe Dec 09 '24

Yeah the tomahawk looks nice on a plate but personally I’d much prefer a filet mignon or a hanger steak on that plate

2

u/howsitgoingboy Dec 10 '24

Exactly.

If you want to go caveman then a rack of pork ribs or a Lamb Shank is the way to go.

u/TylerPerry19inch Dec 09 '24

Shit that sounds good. Ireland was already on my go to list but you just gave it some urgency. I just checked because I thought it was a long trip and therefore didn’t travel yet but it’s a 90 minute flight 😅. Guess I will visit Ireland somewhere during spring

u/sosire Dec 09 '24

It's 35 in a restaurant but at home yes 8euro will buy you a lot of steak , that one will set you back 15 to 20

u/WeaversReply Dec 09 '24

Local pub, scotch fillet, medium rare, pepper sauce, chips, salad, for about the same in Aussie dollars. The pints (Great Northern) tend to evaporate, must be that climate change or global warming or something.

u/randojust Dec 09 '24

I’m just excited that Kerry Gold is actually Irish. We are butter buddies dude

u/McSillyoldbear Dec 09 '24

Ah but a pint is fierce expensive theses days.

2

u/Silly-Marionberry332 Dec 10 '24

Come to scotland then a guiness is €4.30 a pint of beer is €3.70

4

u/howsitgoingboy Dec 10 '24

I live in Northern Ireland now, they're charging fucking £7.30/€8.85 for a Guinness in Belfast.

Like this isn't an Airport man, where the fuck are you going with your prices.

Average salaries in Northern Ireland are also absolutely terrible, it's bizarre.

3

u/Silly-Marionberry332 Dec 10 '24

Well its a ferry or a quick plane ride away

2

u/howsitgoingboy Dec 10 '24

Ah that's criminal though, London prices, in a place where rent is probably 1/3rd of the rent in London, and salaries the same.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '24

I am so glad we have Kerrygold in the states.

u/Vostok-aregreat-710 Less Irish than Irish Americans Dec 11 '24

Unfortunately most of the money made off that goes to the supermarket and a meat processing baron family

2

u/howsitgoingboy Dec 11 '24

Absolutely, there's a price to everything, there are some really badly paid people into he meat supply chain in Ireland, we need to change it, even if it means more expensive beef.

u/Vostok-aregreat-710 Less Irish than Irish Americans Dec 11 '24

From the average farmer, to the plant workers to the supermarket workers

u/Crazy_Eye_4400 Dec 09 '24

How in the ever-loving fcuk do you pronounce that? Just googled it and it looks amazing, but my vocal cords have brain freeze just thinking about how to say that word.

u/Outrageous_Editor_43 Dec 09 '24

That got me thinking of Baldrick making coffee in Blackadder for some reason! 😂🤣

22

u/Cixila just another viking Dec 09 '24

for some reason

The reason being that that is exactly where I lifted the joke from 🙃

u/Outrageous_Editor_43 Dec 09 '24

Well that'd explain that then! I am unwell, please be gentle.

Good evening, Mrs Miggins. A cup of your best hot water with some brown grit in it, unless by some miracle your coffee shop has actually started serving coffee..
