Tipperary Inn
By Jim White
My faithful Irish
"cousin" Jamie O’White takes over today’s column. He
insists on bringing you something suitable for the "wearin’ o’
the green" on St. Patty’s Day. Take it away, Jamie.
My American
"cousin" is delusional. He seems to think that great Irish
pub fare and some delightful atmosphere to match are only suitable
on March 17th. Not true, Jimmy me boy!
Especially when it’s
as good as Tipperary Inn. It’s been an East Dallas favorite for
years. Up until recently it was a cozy little place to get a pint of
Guinness and some hearty grub.
They’ve gone and
expanded the place and even opened earlier so you can try delicacies
of my homeland for lunch.
Step inside and you’ll
swear you’re in Dublin—great little corners and tidy little
booths for the sharin’ of a meal or the swappin’ of a tale. And,
of course, another pint of Guinness!
Feast on Shepherd’s
Pie ($8.95), with ground sirloin and vegetables in a savory sauce,
seasoned just right and topped with mashed potatoes and cheese.
One bite of the
Guinness Beef Stew ($7.95) and you might think you’ve dined and
gone to heaven.
Beer battered Fish
& Chips ($9.95) is stick to your ribs good.
Other traditional
favorites include Corned Beef & Cabbage ($9.50) and a treat from
the countryside called Boxty. It’s a potato pancake filled with
all sorts of good things like beef stew ($8.95), pork loin and
mushrooms ($8.95) or smoked salmon ($9.95).
Other treats include
grilled quail ($13.95), braised lamb shank ($9.95) and Guinness
B.B.Q. Shrimp ($13.95). Cousin Jim, shouldn’t you be gettin’ us
another wee pint?
All these morsels are
served with homemade soda bread and Irish butter. Faith and Begorrah!
Now, before you go,
be sure to try the Bailey’s Irish Cream cake for dessert ($3.95).
What you don’t finish I will.
One visit and you’ll
be sold. This is what you’re lookin’ for at the end of the
rainbow…a pot o’ gold.
That’s no Blarney.
Back to you, James.
Thanks, Jamie. I
liked it, too.
