Poster for a Porter Wars book talk and beer tasting with Dr. Christina Wade in L. Mulligan Grocer at 4pm on Sunday the7th of December. With an image of the labels for the 2 beers called The Fox and Fire & Labour.

I was approached by @braciatrix.bsky.social a while back to help with recipes to tie in with the Porter Wars chapter of her book. More about those beers later in the week when I find out what exactly Trouble did with them, but I'm telling you now they are *not* based on actual historic beers! ...

💚

I can highly recommend Dr B's 'The Philosophy of Puddings', which I read and thoroughly enjoyed earlier this year.

The other three titles are still on my wishlist, but I'm sure they're equally entertaining, informative and eye-opening.

This is the mince pie for the aficionado! A sweet mincemeat pie with lashings of lamb. Of all that I have tried, its my favourite mincemeat.

Don't knock it til you've tried it!

Vintage illustrated postcard with a drawing of a medium haired cat tangled up in string with a bandage around its head looking quite pathetic. Text on it says I have troubles of my own. Don’t mention yours.

Christmas Special 2023: Mince Pies Podcast Episode · The British Food History Podcast · 20/12/2023 · 43m

Every day should be mince pie day in my opinion. I love them, especially when the mincemeat is homemade AND meaty. Here's my podcast Christmas special from 2023 all about them.

A promotional flyer on a wood-textured background with hops and beer pints for an event titled “PORTER WARS – Book Talk and Beer Tasting.” At the top, white text reads: “4pm Sunday, December 7th.” Below, large bold white text states “PORTER WARS,” with smaller text underneath reading “BOOK TALK AND BEER TASTING.” Text reads: “Join Dr Christina Wade for a talk on Irish beer in the 18th century. Featuring porters inspired by her book, Filthy Queens: A History of Beer in Ireland Nine Bean Rows Books.” “A collab by Trouble Brewing × Dr Christina Wade × Liam K. of Irish Beer History.” Below this are two Trouble Brewing beer label graphics. One for an English Porter called The Fox and the other an Irish Porter called Fire & Labour At the bottom: “AT L. MULLIGAN GROCER.”

Friends!! Join me Dec 7th from 4pm at @lmulligangrocer for PORTER WARS- book talk and beer tasting!!

We will be launching my collaboration brew with @beerfoodtravel.bsky.social & @troublebrewing.ie - two porters inspired by my chapter Porter Wars from Filthy Queens: A History of Beer in Ireland

Thank you for your kind words!

I've made this recipe and they are delicious. Beautifully crunchy on the outside with a pillowy softness on the inside.

Mess up the roast potatoes on Christmas Day at your peril!

My advice is to get in a couple of practices before the big day. This is my foolproof method for super crunchy, super soft roasties. Good for any time of year, of course xx

You can't go wrong. Also works well with oat milk!
