During our coach tour of ireland, we spent 2 nights in Killarney. On one of the nights, one of our tour dinners was a special evening at the 19th Green. I think we all had high expectations and walked away a little disappointed. It was somewhat of a buffet style, where the hosts served us a little bit of everything. The Guinness stew was good, the trout was okay, and I was not a fan of the black pudding boxty. The sides were all okay, as were the desserts. There is no A/C in the dining area, and with almost 40 of us crammed in there, we got quite warm on an unusually warm, sunny Ireland evening. Before we went in to eat, the Chef came in and gave a short (actually, a long) speech about the over-processing of food, and basically how everything we eat is bad for us. I was somewhat indifferent to it, although it was a bit "preachy". However, there were a lot of people in our group who didn't care for it, and talked about it for days. read more
