Jo, the most memorable of my meals in Ireland were the unbelievable
breakfasts. Do treat them to one, right down to the mushrooms and tomatoes.
Heaven!

Other foods I found absolutely delightful were Moy salmon, Dublin prawns
and, of course, your brown bread and the butteriest butter anywhere. And
then, of course, your chocolates ...

I envy your guests!
