Written by Laura McMenamy
For many Americans, barbecue isn't just a cooking technique—it's a cherished hobby, even a way of life. This sentiment is particularly strong in the southern states, where the tradition first took root. But did you know that the definition of "barbecue" varies from region to region? Here's the rundown on the various types of barbecue that are popular in the US.

I don’t like granny pleasing butchers. I really don’t mind if I go into a butcher and he looks at me as if I have ten heads and says “sorry, we only have what’s on display”. But don’t lie to me.

Nasi Goreng simply means "Fried Rice" and this is our take on it. Lot's of chilli flavour, garlic, and a beautiful fresh egg.

This is one of our favourite dishes here in GNL. Use some good quality white potatoes (not Rooster - they are a snoozefest). The taste is very salty but strangely it works really well with the potatoes.

We love beef jerky here at Great Northern Larder. It is tasty and healthy and makes a great snack on long hikes or car journeys. Use good beef and your favourite beer (or try soy sauce or teriyaki). Beef jerky will last a few weeks in the fridge.
The Pigeon House, Clontarf

The food choices in The Pigeon House include overnight oats with blood orange, grape, hazelnut, and maple syrup. There is Shakshuka (from the Middle East as it happens) which is basically a baked egg with yoghurt and veg. Creamed mushrooms on toast, Turkish eggs, and scrambled egg with Chorizo were other choices and then being brunch there were two burgers, beef or chicken, which both looked great. Again, I spotted a slight Middle Eastern vibe as the chicken burger had harissa paste, and the Turkish eggs obviously had an appropriate touch of the exotic in the form of tahini yoghurt, rose harissa feta, and mint.
