Mrs Shan And I had dinner in Glover’s Alley in Dublin last night. A fabulous (albeit pricey) restaurant, well deserving of its Michelin star. The best meal I’ve enjoyed in a LONG time. 

We had a taster menu, and one of our favorite dishes was a beet tartare. It tasted amazing, though in truth I was more mesmerised by its appearance - it looked exactly like the BLOODER in my Archibald Lox books!!! The blooder is a strange creature that appears in Volume 3 of the series, and… yeah… it looks just like this!!! ������
