š½ The Menu š½
1ļøā£ The Tricksterās Bread ā Soda Bread with Enchanted Honey Butter
A golden-crusted soda bread, served with "enchanted" butterāa rich honey-butter infused with a touch of sea salt and fresh thyme.
Inspired by the mischievous leprechauns, whose gold is as fleeting as warm bread on a table.
2ļøā£ The Bansheeās Cry ā Emerald Soup of Whispers
A vibrant green leek and potato soup, infused with hints of white pepper and cream.
Served with a swirl of chive oil, resembling the mists that hide the Bansheeās presence.
3ļøā£ The Warriorās Reward ā Fiery Whiskey-Glazed Salmon
Fresh salmon, seared with a sweet and smoky whiskey glaze, served over a bed of wilted greens.
A nod to Fionn MacCumhaill, the great warrior who gained wisdom from the Salmon of Knowledge.
4ļøā£ The Faerie Ring ā Colcannon Croquettes
Mashed potatoes mixed with butter, cabbage, and scallions, formed into crispy golden croquettes.
Legend has it that faeries dance in rings of mushroomsāthis dish is shaped like small golden circles, hinting at the faeās mischief.
5ļøā£ The Gold at the End ā Mystical Apple Tart with Clover Honey Drizzle
A warm apple tart, drizzled with clover honey and spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon.
Representing the pot of gold that may be foundā¦ if you are lucky.
šµ The Drink of the Night: The Druidās Elixir
A bright green cocktail (or mocktail!) that seems to shimmer like faerie gold in the firelight.
š Option 1 (Cocktail): Midori, Irish whiskey, a splash of ginger beer, and a twist of lime.
š Option 2 (Mocktail): Fresh cucumber juice, lime, honey syrup, and sparkling waterāserved with a sprig of mint.
A drink that glows like the light of a will-oā-the-wisp, drawing the unwary deeper into the woodsā¦
š The Legend Behind the Meal š
As the guests eat, the story unfolds. Will they dine in peace, or have they unknowingly accepted a faerie bargain? A coin is placed beneath one plateāwhoever finds it must make a choice: keep it for fortune or return it for favor? The feast endsā¦ but what happens next? Thatās a story for another night.
