Yahoo! Tá an t-allas ag glioscarnach
Yahoo! Ar do leathaghaidh
Déan deifir, tabhair mé leat chuig áit níos teo
Tá m’éadaí snámha anseo cheana féin
Ádhúil! Cé go bhfuil sé go tobann,
Ádhúil! Ceadóidh mé é
Tar éis an tsaoil, mar go bhfuil sé te, fáiltímis an spraoi le splanc!
Is é mo phléisiúr pearsanta é an dath dorcha na gréine
Ag athrú mo dhó gréine,
Sula i bhfad, beidh mo chraiceann nocht mar cócó oighir!
Éadaí scoile • muinchillí ghearra • tá mo dhroim
Ag meall mar bainne fós
Meascaimis an tsamhraidh, ag déanamh é milis is milis
Dála an scéal, an bhfuil tú réidh?
Ag caitheamh ár gcuaráin san aer, bímis ag méiseáil!
Ag coinneáil an t-oighir i mo bhéal,
Leis an fhuacht bhliain seo amháin,
D’fháisc mo chroí
Fan! Tá tú róthapa
Fan! Ná téigh sa tóir orm!
Go deo, ní dhéanfaidh mé dearmad ar an ghrá a ghrean mé i mo chroí faoi láthair
Cosnochta, táim ag pleanáil dul go dtí
An trá te agus beidh mo chraiceann nocht mar cócó oighir!
Sa cuilithíní • ag bailiú • sliogáin
Cuireann fiú mo thart áthas orm
Déanfaidh mé iarracht an tsamhraidh a hól beagáinín
Eitlíonn na braonta ón gloine ar mo chliabhrach
Fiú an t-éan ag trasnú i bhfad,
Agus a pháirtí bhán ag neadú é
Is féidir linn iad i líne a fheiceáil go héasca
Croithim mo láimhe go mór orthu

Eala Bhán Restaurant In Sligo Review
Over the previous couple of years, I have consumed in and evaluated lots of restaurants around Ireland for TheTaste; not just those located in Dublin and the country's larger cities but likewise lots of in our smaller sized towns and in the countryside. However, living in Connaught I will confess that I constantly jump at the possibility to check out restaurants in the West of Ireland. I fervently think that there is excellent food being produced all around this island which this is something that ought to be nurtured and celebrated.
One place that is truly establishing a lively food culture is Sligo. The Sligo Food Trail was introduced by local food producers and restaurateurs over the summertime with the objective of showcasing the county's abundant gastronomic heritage and promoting it as a foodie destination. I enjoy Sligo and as the Town is a fairly brief drive from my home in Roscommon, I chose to visit there to have dinner in Eala Bhán recently.
Tumblr media
Eala Bhán is located in the heart of the town next to the Garavogue River-- an area that, for me, has echoes of the Left Bank in Paris. White swans can often be seen swimming along the river and it is from them that the restaurant takes its name as Eala Bhán equates from the Irish as 'the white swan'. The restaurant is owned by Sligo native Anthony Gray who likewise owns Trá Bhán in neighboring Strandhill. As the present President of the Restaurant Association of Ireland, Anthony is a widely known figure in the Irish hospitality industry but it is his assistance of the local food scene that has actually seen his 2 restaurants go from strength-to-strength, garnering lots of awards along the way.
The restaurant closed for a while towards completion of 2015 due to an early-morning fire that broke out on the facilities. The fire caused comprehensive damage but thankfully, after the required renovation works were performed, Eala Bhán opened again and continues to be among the town's most popular dining spots. Inside it is decorated in neutral, muted tones. Fairy lights behind gauze curtains cast a magical glow over the elegantly created dining-room whilst quotes from the author W.B. Yeats-- one of Sligo's most famous sons-- are inscribed on the walls. I couldn't help however smile at a large 3-D wall sculpture of a white swan 'releasing' itself into the dining space above among the tables and sitting opposite it during my meal I discovered myself enthralled by its enforcing presence.
Eala Bhán opens for Lunch every day, serves Afternoon Tea and likewise provides Early Bird Menu and À La Carte Menus in the evening. The restaurant prides itself on serving locally-sourced Irish food and glancing through the menu this is instantly evident, with local providers credited throughout. We chewed on a well-made white bread which was accompanied by homemade pesto and butter whilst we analyzed the menus, ultimately deciding to go À La Carte.
First up was an amuse bouche of Sweet Potato Soup which was served in an espresso cup. It was well-seasoned, flavorsome and warming, offering us a sense of the food that was to follow. Both beginners were significant; not that we were complaining as we had actually arrived with great cravings. My Lemon Buttered Scallops (EUR11.95) was a charming dish comprising three splendidly plump and perfectly prepared scallops with a beautiful caramelized outside offering method to a soft center, filled with the sweet tastes of the sea. A saffron aioli was an aromatic accompaniment whilst a pea purée highlighted the intrinsic sweetness of the scallops. Nevertheless, it was the a little acidic apple chutney which, along with the lemon, brought and reversed the general richness whatever alive on the taste buds.
Across the table, my visitor's Trio of Duck & Cashel Blue Cheese Ice-Cream (EUR11.95) was a wacky meal however one that successfully showcased the fantastic quality of the duck that was utilized. A velvety smooth homemade duck liver pate had been well-made and was scrumptious eaten with the thin pieces of cozy bread and red onion marmalade provided, but we both concurred that the spring roll with its unctuous filling of soft leg-meat and the thin slices of smoked duck breast were the stars of the program. Both were impressive. I felt that the little side-salad of delicately dressed leaves and red onion was unnecessary and that the incredibly moreish and uncommon Cashel Blue cheese ice-cream sufficed.
Proceeding to the primary course, the Eala Bhán Pork Fillet (EUR22.95) with its crust of crushed pistachio nuts right away caught my eye. The pork has actually been supplied by Feeney of Sligo pork fillet and had been sensitively prepared so that the meat retained moisture and was succulent. It was served on a bed of buttery mashed potato which included a generous quantity of black pudding. A cherry sauce consisting of loads of whole cherries and an earthy parsnip purée completed the dish. To accompany my pork, I purchased a side of Irish Cider Onion Rings (EUR3.50) which were amongst the finest that I have ever eaten, with a crisp batter coating and a center of the sweet, hot onion.
For his primary course, my visitor chose on the Catch of the Day-- Halibut with Asparagus Risotto (EUR25.95). Here 2 pieces of halibut were served with a completely made, velvety asparagus risotto. The fish had actually been pan-fried and well seasoned so that its skin was wonderfully crispy which contrasted well against the softness of the fish. Child carrots poached in blackcurrant juice were an uncommon accompaniment by we both liked how the sourness of the blackcurrants dealt with the sweet taste of the carrots. This was a terrific meal. Two Times Prepared Fat Chips (EUR3.50) was whatever that a great chip must be-- well-seasoned and crispy on the outside with a soft, fluffy.
The Dessert Menu in Eala Bhán is loaded with an excellent selection of timeless crowd-pleasers. I rapidly picked Mini Baked Alaska (EUR7.95) and it did not dissatisfy. I enjoy retro desserts and this one, in its simplicity ticked all the right boxes for me. It was made up of a disc of sponge cake topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream which was covered in Italian meringue prior to being blow-torched to gently toast and color the meringue. The contrasts presented by the toasted meringue and the cold ice-cream has actually always been something that I discover tempting and this was an excellent version. A soft fruit coulis and fresh strawberries finished the dish.
My visitor chose on the Eala Bhán Eton Mess (EUR7.95)-- an interesting reworking of this timeless dessert where strawberries which had been macerated in port and bananas were folded along with crushed homemade meringues into some gently whipped cream. A warm milk chocolate sauce completed proceedings and was an unusual addition.
It is not tough to see why Eala Bhán is so popular both with locals and with visitors to Sligo as the restaurant is serving some really great food. I liked the elegant but cozy feel of the restaurant and the warm welcome https://en.search.wordpress.com/?src=organic&q=Eala Bhan we received from our waitress who assisted make our night so enjoyable.
I enjoy Sligo and as the Town is a reasonably brief drive from my home in Roscommon, I decided to visit there to have dinner in Eala Bhán just recently.

On the Island
It’s such a luxury, the quietness of it. Being able to hear things. To hear the nothingness. You think it’s nothing, at first. Then you wind down and you start to hear the wind. The lapping of water. The ferry arriving or leaving if you’re near enough, or the waves breaking on Trá Bhán. You hear bird cries, you hear grasses blowing softly, maybe you hear the grass growing, even, and each sound that you hear can be tuned into not just as background, but as its actual self. This is what’s really different about the island. The quiet. And the no cars, yes, the no cars is definitely part of it.
 On days when I’ve studio, it’s a little busier of course. I hear the students working. The swish of paintbrushes, Fionn making things out of rubbish, the radio at the far end of the studio. I hear it only faintly my side, and I take a walk over there the odd time there’s a song I want to hear. Do a bit of supervision on my way, try to mediate when I find a student stuck somewhere between good intention and mediocre ability. Offer tips to rescue things. But as soon as the news comes on, I’m off out for a fag break. Sometimes just a notional fag, I’m cutting back. A breath of air clear of turps, a listen of the outside.
 Billy? Billy!
 Someone’s calling me. A woman in a lilac woollen hat. Magda. My co-worker.
 I swear you must be going deaf altogether!
 I bend my head so as not to let her voice disappear in the wind. Try not to look directly into those blue-green eyes, because there’s a mystery to Magda that I’m always in danger of getting lost in.
 ...heard the latest? About the funding crisis.
 No, I’ve been out here listening only to what news the seabirds bring.
I’m getting too old for the news. The scandals they unearth now put me inmind me of old stories from other decades, but they’re full of grisly detail that would have been left out before. Hearing them makes me feel as if I’m living in a cheap horror film.
 Well, there’s talk the degree programme will be cut altogether, that we’ll be made redundant.
 They’d never do that in the middle of an academic year, I say.
 There’s nothing they wouldn’t do, you better believe it.
 There’s fire in Magda’s eyes, in her voice. Something that wakes me. I’ve been hiding from people like her, since what happened with Phelia.
 ...talk our students would need to finish their degrees in Dublin, which they can’t afford. So, will you come to the meeting…
 She trails off. Magda doesn’t expect much of me and I don’t blame her. But it’s her quietness that kills me. The things she doesn’t say.
 Sure, I’ll be there. Don’t expect me to work magic, but I’ll do me best.
  The Island is a piece of prose written in response to the brilliant ‘Ceol’ by Gearóid MacLochlainn. It connects with Ceol because of the idea of a silence (which can sometimes indicate a hurt and a recovery) giving way to something with a definite voice and purpose. This is an extract from a longer piece of work in progress, working title Ophelia and Me.
