Called in there this Jazz Weekend Saturday and, after some banter and spot-on advice, left a happy customer. Happier again later on when that first class pork was on the plate Chez Moi. And some left over for sangers, as predicted by the man behind the counter. John O'Flynn & Sons, Master Butchers, 36 Marlboro Street. 427 5685

Champion Meats, also known as Donie O'Keeffe's, is a great butcher with a good selection. They are…read morea bit more expensive than some of the others in town, but they offer somethings you can't get elsewhere. The burgers here are made from steak and are the leanest in town. They also offer steak mince, which is second to none. I am also a fan of their selection of sausages, They offer a nice selection of sausages you won't find anywhere else either. Again, you will pay a bit more for these items, but if you are looking for the best quality ingredients and are prepared to pay a bit more for them, this is the place to get them sure.

We called in to get some ready made mince burgers for a BBQ dinner we were planning at the house…read morewe'd rented for the week. My partner spotted the deal outside, for 20 EUR you got: 1lb mince Five burgers Five pork chops Five Chicken Fillets A bag of Kerr's Pink potatoes What a deal! What a deal indeed. The potatoes were not Kerr's Pink, but Roosters and they didn't ask us at the time if this was OK. We didn't need them straight away, but by the time we opened the bag back in Dublin the potatoes were mouldy and off. I know we'd had them a number of days by then, but to be covered in mould? I've made my SpagBol recipe enough times to know what a pound of mince visibly looks like and did not seem to be full pound of mince. The burgers were not great. The texture of the mince when you bit into them was not natural. It was like there as some bonding agent put in the mix to keep the mince together. Also they didn't shrink when cooked like most homemade burgers do. The chops were OK and the chicken was fine. I would not recommend this deal, a waste of money instead saving money.
