Wexford, Limerick and Lough Ree
neven's irish food trails

Continuing his Irish Food Trail, Neven heads to County Wexford where he meets blackcurrant producer Des Jeffares. Des is keen to show Neven the inventive ways in which blackcurrants can be used and introduces him to a delicious savoury dish - Roasted Lamb Shanks with Blackcurrant Sauce. Neven then heads to Limerick's Georgian Quarter to meet Tim Harris, Head Chef at No. 1 Pery Square. Tim prepares a dish to reflect the city's historic food roots as a celebrated hub for pork and bacon. Staying in Limerick, Neven is transported back in time when he visits Miss Marple's Vintage Tea Rooms which are inspired by the food and decor of the 1930s and '40s. Owner Colette O'Farrell shows Neven how to make 'Queen of Puddings' a traditional dessert designed to use up leftover ingredients. Finally, Neven travels back to Lough Ree where he bakes a Rustic Pear Tart in the galley of the Shannon Princess.
