Snap out of The Sugar Trap Stable blood sugar - the key to optimum health You probably already know that stabilising your blood sugar will go a long way in preventing insulin resistance and diabetes, but did you know that it can completely transform how you look and feel? Balancing blood sugar means an end to to the dreaded 2pm slump, effortless weight loss, stable mood, improved concentration, boundless energy and beautiful skin. Here are some tell-tale signs that you have a blood sugar imbalance: z Energy dips throughout the day z Sugar cravings z Weight loss resistance z Excessive hunger z Irritability or mood swings z Regular headaches or migraines z Waking in the middle of the night

When we eat a diet that’s high in refined carbohydrates, we buy ourselves a ticket to the blood sugar roller-coaster with nobody at the brake switch.

We have a lovely hormone that comes to the rescue: insulin. Insulin helps the body absorb and process sugar effectively, but the excess is stored as fat! When this cycle happens over and over again, our cells become tired and stop listening to insulin. This leads to insulin resistance, an early warning sign of diabetes. Lean people that can eat whatever they want without gaining weight tend to be insulin sensitive. However, the majority of people aren’t so lucky. Here’s where the mineral chromium can help. Chromium is a trace mineral that balances blood sugar levels and helps insulin carry glucose to cells where it is used for energy. Our bodies depend on an adequate intake of chromium to maintain a normal metabolism and to store fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.

Chromium and weight loss How can chromium help stimulate weight loss? Chromium enhances the activity of insulin, the hormone that carries sugar to the cell before it can do damage to vital organs or be converted to fat.

Chromium also targets one of the primary causes of weight gain: fluctuating blood sugar levels. When you eat sugars or refined carbs, insulin levels skyrocket, causing your body to stockpile fat. Due to our depleted soils and processed foods, it is difficult to get sufficient amounts of dietary chromium. Supplementing with chromium helps to regulate blood sugar and keep your body from hanging on to stubborn fat. In this same way, chromium is thought to control food cravings. Once you have high blood sugar, you become stuck in a vicious cycle: high blood sugar causes you to crave carbohydrates and simple sugars in large quantities. By stabilising blood sugar, chromium helps keep these cravings at bay. How chromium helps with weight loss and insulin resistance: z Helps combat sugar cravings z Helps regulate blood sugar z Increases the insulin signal z Helps metabolise carbohydrates, proteins and fats z Helps combat fatigue and hunger

Risk of dietary deﬁciency The more sugar and refined carbohydrates you eat, the more likely you are to be deficient in chromium. Consumption of sugar increases the amount of insulin your body must release into your blood stream, therefore increasing the amount of chromium that is used and ultimately excreted in your urine.

What to look for in a chromium supplement? Always choose an organic chromium source. EFSA (The European Food Safety Authority) has confirmed that this type of chromium is absorbed up to 10 times better than synthetic sources such as chromium picolinate. Organic chromium is the safest, purest form to supplement with.

5 ways to increase insulin sensitivity z Have oily fish 3 times a week z Avoid omega-6 oils z Sweeten meals with cinnamon z Reduce stress z Take an organic chromium supplement

Skin care for men %\ (PHU .HOO\ #( 67</(

FROM fighting pimples decades past puberty, to scoffing at the first signs of wrinkles, it’s difficult to win the good skin game. But before cursing your genes, ask yourself whether your skincare routine and lifestyle habits are up to par. By that I don’t mean clocking hours in front of the mirror or stealing your girlfriend’s fancy facial cream. Layering on too many products can actually irritate the skin. The key is daily washing and moisturising. One of the main skin irritants can be shaving, so use sensitive skin ranges and always use products designed for men. A splash of cold water on the face does more than wake you up; a good cleanse helps slough off dead skin cells. Use a wash containing the ingredient glycolic acid, both in the morning and before bed, for a deeper clean. Exfoliate once or twice a week to stimulate the growth of new skin cells.

Moisturising should be an automatic step two after cleansing. Apply lotion when the skin is still slightly damp to help seal in moisture. Most face creams are oil-based, which work well with normal skin - and are a must for dry/ flaky skin. But, if you have oily skin or are prone to breakouts, look for a water-based product. Nothing weathers your skin more than the sun. Damaging rays speed up the aging process by slowing down collagen production and cell growth and forcing skin to lose its elasticity. Your best defence is a good sunscreen. Look for a moisturiser with an SPF of 15 or higher that provides a broad-spectrum protection, meaning it blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Never forget Every Body is Beautiful. Emer@waterfordmail.com

DEEP CLEAN Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Cleanser - A deep cleansing and purifying formula for clear skin. 2% Glycolic Acid gently exfoliates and retextures the skin. Apple amino acid cleanses and purifies while olive oil hydrates and smooths your skin troubles away. Price: €10.99, from Boots NATURAL BEAUTY: FOOT SCRUBS DID you know that skin on your feet has no oil glands to keep them moisturised? The skin on your feet is typically dry, as compared to other parts of your body. That’s why you need to take extra care of your feet to avoid dry, cracked heels. You require three constituents to make any scrub – A moisturiser (coconut oil or olive oil are great to use); the sand-paper element (sugar or salt), and optional elements – such as essential oil, herbs, lemon, oats, etc. SOOTHING PEPPERMINT AND SUGAR FOOT SCRUB You can use this simple scrub to exfoliate, moisturise and soothe your sore feet, just before taking bath or shower. METHOD: • Take 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, olive or coconut oil and few drops of peppermint essential oil. • Put the granulated sugar into a mixing bowl. Slowly add olive or coconut oil and stir the mixture together until you get a little wet and grainy consistency paste. Mix in a few drops of peppermint essential oil. • Put the scrub into an airtight container for use before taking bath or shower. BAKING SODA, BROWN SUGAR AND OLIVE OIL METHOD: • Take 1 tablespoon each of baking soda, brown sugar and olive oil. Mix these ingredients thoroughly just before taking shower or bath. • Scrub the mixture on your feet. You can use it on other rough areas as well, such as knees and elbows. Finish with rinsing it off completely.

WEAR SUNSCREEN Gillette Series Instant Moisturiser is a non-greasy moisturiser, with Vitamins B3, E and Pro-Vitamin B5, helps give your skin a fresh, invigorated look. This formula, along with SPF15 protects your skin from UVA/ UVB rays. Price: €11.99, from Boots

SUMMER IN TRAMORE

30 FASHION

Waterford Mail 28 May 2015

SKATEBOARDING has become mainstream enough that modern skaters wear just about every clothing style. That being said, there are a few different looks that are typically associated with skater culture. To dress like a stereotypical skater, try one of the following looks.

In slim aerodynamic fits with textured embellishments, the Hells Angel standby is revved up anew. Here the classic moto jacket gets a feminine update with gorgeous lace detailing. Price: €69.95, from Carraig Donn

Choose comfort - Being able to perform tricks means wearing practical, nonrestrictive clothes that don’t need to remain in pristine condition. Expect twisting, tearing, fading, and possibly even blood. Wear flexible, flat-soled shoes with excellent grip. - These will help keep you on the board. For additional authenticity, choose skater shoes specifically manufactured for skateboarding. Some good brands are éS, DVS, Fallen, Supra, Vans, Circa, DC, Emerica’s, Converse, Adio, Etnies and Lakai.

Jump to it

To fake the skater look, rip your shoes around the toes - If you’re a true skater, however, they’ll be ripped in no time. Keep in mind, however, that real skaters hate it when their shoes get torn up because rips are the cause of the end of their shoes’ life. Think twice before ruining your shoes on purpose.

Style your little lady up for the summer in this adorable floral print jumpsuit, offering spaghetti straps, a square neckline and elasticated ankle cuffs and waistband for a flattering yet comfortable fit. Team this pretty print with sandals and her favourite shades. Price: €9.99, from TK Maxx

Know the classic skater brands Element, Baker, Analog, Quicksilver, Volcom, Vans and Billabong are a few classic examples. Keep it casual - Don’t spend a lot of money on shiny new accessories and brand-name items when an old t-shirt and a faded pair of jeans will get the job done. Remember, not trying too hard is a critical element of skater culture.

Dinosaurmania Bright Campervan T-shirt. Dinosaurs are an all-time classic fave for little boys everywhere, so are cars. Team them up together and they’re even cooler! Perfect for those first warm days in the park. Price €14, from Next

Be sure not to wear skating-brand gear all the time – Wear casual clothing as well. Striped shirts, t-shirts, hoodies, and logo/name-brand shirts work. Wear hoodies or a snowboarding hat over your head but don’t cover the front of your hair, let it stick out.

THE PARENT FILES

Waterford Mail 28 May 2015

Family life The Parent Files By Heather Campbell

Mums at war AREN’T you just fed up with the whole stay-at-home vs working-mum debate? Although, in this context, “debate” makes the whole argument sound far more civilized than it actually is. Perhaps I should call it a mud-slinging match instead? Or, a version of fisty-cuffs in which parents throw figurative filthy nappies at one another? Whatever you call it, though, the whole argument’s silly. Here’s why: WE ALL LOVE OUR KIDS: We all want what’s best for them. We’re all making the best decisions we can, with the resources we have, and taking into consideration the support, job options, and children we have. And, whether we work or not doesn’t change how much we love our kids. It’s not like parents sit around and decide on a course of action after detailed analysis indicates they only love their children 75% of the time, or only on Mondays. And in the sad cases where parents don’t love their children and don’t make what they consider to be the best decisions for them, whether or not these children have working or stay-at-home parents is the least of their problems. INFLUENCES: According to boffins there are 2,134,983 different factors that will influence the adults that our children will become. Genetics, parental income, parents’ temperaments, children’s temperaments, experiences, birth order, number of siblings, and so on and so on. It doesn’t make sense to hinge so much on just one of so many factors. WE’LL PROBABLY BE BOTH AT SOME STAGE ANYWAY: I’ve worked fulltime from home while looking after my son, I’ve worked parttime outside the home, and been a bona-fide no-end-insight stay at home mother. It’s not like you are in one tribe or the other, and have taken a blood-oath that you will sit in one camp until you die. Most women will be both working and at-home mothers at some stage of their children’s lives, and often their husbands will be too. Before chucking those figurative nappies into the other camp of the working/ at home divide, it’s worth remembering that you might be just criticizing yourself of the future.

Bullying in Cyberspace

refrain from speaking about bullying, those being cyberbullied are often afraid to report incidents as they fear that adults will take away their mobile phone or computer.

WARNING SIGNS OF CYBERBULLYING As well as the warning signs associated with all forms of bullying, look out for the following symptoms in your children: • Sadness, upset or anger during or after internet or mobile phone use. • Indications that your child is the target of traditional bullying at school. • A sudden disinterest in computers. • Quickly switching off computer screens when somebody enters the room. In most cases, cyberbullies know their targets but their victims don’t always know the person bullying them. This can prove very isolating for the victim in group, club or school settings where they come to distrust all their peers. In addition to the usual reasons why victims

TIPS ON HANDLING CYBERBULLYING • Don’t reply to messages that harass or annoy you – even though you may really feel like it, this is exactly what the bully wants. If you respond with an ever nastier message, they will think they have got to you and upset you which is just what they are hoping for. • Tell someone you trust – be that a parent, teacher, friend, youth leader or school counsellor. If you need to speak to someone in confidence straight away, you can call Childline on 1800 666 666 or visit www.childline.ie • Keep the message – and a record that outlines the details, dates and times of any form of bullying which you experience (in case there is an investigation). • Block the sender – if you are getting messages that upset you, simply click the block button. Check your mobile phone manual or ask your parent to help you see if you can restrict communications to an approved list of contacts. • Report problems – if you come across offensive content on a website or circulated by mobile phone, you should contact the owners of the service. Serious incidents that could be illegal should be reported to the Gardaí. *100% of your donation goes to Barnardos across most network operators.

ITH the advent of modern communication technologies, people all over the world are engaging with each other and society like never before. Today’s generation of teenagers in particular are connecting in new ways to new audiences thanks to the ease of access to social networking websites, video and photograph sharing sites, internet enabled camera phones and games consoles. While email, instant messaging, texting and sites such as Bebo, Facebook, MySpace and Nimble are allowing young people to communicate in a free, easy and unsupervised manner, the anonymous, instant and far-reaching technological possibilities have also brought a new dimension to bullying. When they are online, young people can hide behind the anonymity that the internet offers.

Barden University’s all-female a cappella team, the Barden Bellas, return to take on the world championship in ‘Pitch Perfect 2’, a competition no American team has ever won. Unprepared for the strength of the European team, Das Sound Machine, and out of their depth, the Bellas have no choice but to drastically up their game if they want to have a chance of winning - and it’s a slim chance, because the international jury hates all Americans.

Book of the week

App of the week

The Heat of Betrayal by Douglas Kennedy

Glimpse Notifications (Android)

Robin knew Paul wasn’t perfect. But he said they were so lucky to have found each other, and she believed it was true. In the heady strangeness of Morocco, he is everything she wants him to be - passionate, talented, knowledgeable. She is convinced that it is here she will finally become pregnant. But when Paul suddenly disappears, and Robin finds herself the prime suspect in the police inquiry, everything changes...

So the idea behind Glimpse Notifications is super simple. Instead of having to always press the screen or power button to see your notifications, Glimpse Notifications will actually turn your screen on so you can see a notification on certain applications that you select. Don’t really need to see every email that comes in, but a text might be nice? You can do that. It’s just another little tweak for Android that can make your smartphone even better. (Free).

Film review Two by Two Rated U

With warnings of a flood sweeping the land, the animals travel to the safety of the Ark. Animals are boarding ‘Two by Two’ - Lions, Gorillas, Hippos, Nestrians… Wait a minute, Nestrians?! Unfortunately for Finny and his dad, the clumsy Nestrians in question, they are not on the list and so are not allowed on! However with a bit of imagination and a spot of luck they manage to sneak on board. No sooner is the Ark underway, Finny and his new friend Leah fall over board. Now the pair must learn to work together in their quest to find higher ground while fighting off hungry predators. Their parents on the Ark must set aside their differences and hatch a plan to rescue the kids.

Tomorrowland Rated 12A Sounds of System Breakdown

Sounds Of System Breakdown SOSB’s debut album was favourably compared to LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads, Soulwax and Depeche Mode. It was described as “electronic music’s missing link.” (Irish Times) and “a meticulouslyassembled master-class in electro post punk” (Hot Press). Nomad, SOSB’s follow up album, sees the band (Rob Costello, Richy Kelly and Ed Costello) further forge their own sound away from those influences into a soundscape all their own. Friday 29th May. Central Hall, Waterford - 9pm, €10.

Moscow Metro Described as post punk revival/ shoegaze they take inspiration from every aspect of life including films, writers, art; the band’s influences are diverse, from The National to GBV, Walt Whitman to MBV. Meeting through mutual friends, the Limerick quartet’s early rehearsals took place in a storage warehouse; a ten foot by ten foot metal box that shook with sound vibrations, leading to the inspiration for the name Moscow Metro. Saturday, 30th May. Central Hall, Waterford 9pm, €10. .

On the stage Grease the Musical Following on from their successful showcase in October, the renowned TheatreBox Stage School’s Seniors, Young Adults, & Adults Classes proudly present Grease the Musical in their end of year showcase. This smash hit fifties musical includes all the hits including Greased Lightning, Summer Nights and Sandy from the hit film for some show-stopping nights! Thursday May 28th Friday May 29th Saturday May 30th Garter Lane Arts Centre, Waterford – 7.30pm. Tickets: €16/18.

Michelle Condon Showcase The Michelle Condon Dancers aged 4-18yrs have been working very hard all year to hone their skills, be involved in productions across the city and of course prepare for their spectacular end of year show case. Young people from all over Waterford will entertain friends and family as they present pieces from well known musicals and chart music, everything from Oliver to Radiohead. Fun is what it’s all about for our young people on stage and for the audience too! Sunday, 31st May Theatre Royal, Waterford – 7.30pm. Tickets: €15

Tomorrowland features the adventures of a smart young girl named Casey (Britt Robertson), who discovers the world of Tomorrowland and becomes obsessed with the idea of finding a way to get there (with no real specific interests beyond just exploring more of it). Helping her along the way is Athena (Raffey Cassidy), an android who looks like a young girl, and Frank (George Clooney), who has grown into a bitter old man. But even while they have their own motivations for getting to the futuristic paradise, details are kept extremely vague, and it never feels like the narrative is building. A movie that you very much want to like, as its core message preaches the necessity for hope and positivity. But it does so with a very uneven storyline.

DAYTRIPPER WATERFORD Saturday 4th to Sun 5th July Daytripper returns to Waterford for Year 3 in July for another weekend of fantastic live music at a purpose built outdoor event site at Bolton Street, right in the heart of the city’s Viking Triangle. UB40 headline on the Saturday with special guests Soul II Soul, while Maverick Sabre and The Darkness co-headline on the Sunday with support from The Riptide Movement and Smash Hits. There is a full support line up as always over the 2 days across 2 stages, with the first act taking to the stage at 6pm each day. Tickets (€39.50 per day / €60 weekend) are on sale now at daytripper.ie and the Theatre Royal box office in Waterford ( 051 874402 )

UB40 (Saturday) UB40 (featuring Ali, Astro & Mickey) play an exclusive 2015 Irish festival show at Daytripper. They are one of the UK’s biggest bands of the last 30 year with worldwide sales to date of over 70 million. The Birmingham band brought reggae into the mainstream with huge Number 1 singles such as ‘Red Red Wine’, ‘Kingston Town’, ‘Rat In Mi Kitchen’, ‘I Got You Babe’ (with Chrissie Hynde) and ‘Cherry Oh Baby’. With Ali’s voice as strong as ever, rich, melodic and instantly recognisable plus the redoubtable Astro lending strong vocal support and Mickey’s keyboards to the fore in a band that includes a three-piece horn section, their lithe but potent sound will delight fans old and new.

MAVERICK SABRE (Sunday) Maverick Sabre returns for a homecoming, co-headline set at Daytripper to celebrate the release of his new summer anthem ‘Walk Into The Sun’ and upcoming stunning second album, ‘Innerstanding’. This album follows on from the massive global success of ‘Lonely Are The Brave’ in 2012, with it’s brilliant collection of Top 10 tracks like ‘I Need’, ‘Let Me Go’ and ‘No One’. ‘Walk Into The Sun’ is a delirious slice of gospelsoaked soul and funk that radiates good-time vibes and already looks like being one of the big hits of 2015. Maverick Sabre is very proud of his South East roots having grown up in New Ross, and despite other high profile festival appearances over the summer including V Festival and Wireless in London, you just know the one that will mean the most to him is when he leads his 10 piece band onto the Daytripper stage

THE DARKNESS (Sunday)

SKUNK (Saturday)

THE DARKNESS make their first headline Irish festival appearance at Daytripper since they topped the bill at Oxegen 2004, the same year they headlined Reading & Leeds Festival playing to an audience of 250,000 across those 3 dates on the back of the success of their ‘Permission To Land’ album, which sold 1.5 million copies in the UK & Ireland alone. Justin & the gang are having a love affair with Ireland at the moment, having recorded new album (Last Of Our Kind - to be released in June) on Valentia Isle and having just finished a raucous sold out tour the length and breadth of the country.

Skunk from Waterford royally entertained a capacity Saturday night crowd at the first Daytripper in 2013 just before Madness took to the stage, for what was one of the most memorable nights of live music ever in the city. Skunk were one of the busiest live bands on the Irish circuit at the beginning of the new millennium, bringing their Rude Boy Rock all over the country. Now the 7 piece reform on special occasions like this and one thing’s guaranteed, there won’t be a single person standing still in Bolton Street on 4th July to the rocksteady beat of......SKUNK.

SOUL II SOUL (Saturday) Soul II Soul enjoyed huge chart success in the 80s and 90s, most notably with Keep On Movin’ and ‘Back To Life’, making them household names all over the world. To date Soul II Soul have sold over 10 million albums worldwide and they have performed in over 20 countries, appearing at famous venues all over the globe including Wembley and New York’s Universal Theatre. America embraced Soul II Soul to such a degree in the 90s they picked up two Grammys. For this exclusive Irish summer show, Jazzie will be joined by his MC plus vocalist Caron Wheeler the instantly recognisable voice on those Soul II Soul smashes.

THE RIPTIDE MOVEMENT (Sunday) The Riptide Movement’s third studio Album ‘Getting Through’ went straight in at No. 1 in the Irish albums chart on the 1st week of its release in 2014. The album included two tracks that match anything released by an Irish band in the last decade; ‘All Works Out’ which became the anthem of last summer due to sound-tracking the Discover Ireland advert on TV and massive radio play, plus ‘You And I’ which was just as good and received similar support on the airwaves. The band’s Daytripper appearance will be a South East exclusive for 2015 and is sure to bring in their many fans from Wexford & Kilkenny, as well as Waterford.

SMASH HITS (Sunday) The people of Waterford LOVE Smash Hits and Ireland’s favourite party band have consistently sold out Waterford’s biggest entertainment spaces (Crystal and The Forum) over the last few years. Their winning formula is very simple; fully decked out in 90s gear they perform a fun filled and high energy set of 90s dance, pop and R’n’B chart classics. Smash Hits are a throwback to the FEEL-GOOD time of old skool DJs, all night raves and packed out dancefloors and you just know how good they are going to be in front of a pumped up crowd at Daytripper 2015.

THANK FUNK (Saturday) Thank Funk are Waterford’s own Funk-Soul-Brothers and have built up a fantastic live reputation around Ireland since forming at the end of 2013. The 7 piece including full brass section are the ultimate festival party band (as evidenced at last year’s Electric Picnic), as their set-list features all the biggest and best funk, soul and disco hits of the last 40 years. From Chic to Mark Ronson, Stevie Wonder to Maroon 5, Earth Wind & Fire to David Bowie, and Michael Jackson to Jamiroquai, Thank Funk play them all with an infectious energy that will have the Daytripper crowd having ‘Good Times’ right from the off. The rest of the Daytripper 2015 line-up is completed by Tucan and The Whereabouts on Saturday and the ever present and popular Propeller Palms plus Oasis Tribute (Mad Ferritt) and the Electric Movie Band on Sunday.

Captivating

Cuba

OLIDAYS to Cuba dazzle with this destination’s impressive colonial architecture of Havana, relaxed atmosphere and rumba rhythms. Like nowhere else you have ever visited, Cuba is famous for its salsa dancing, mojitos and cigars but it’s so much more than a friendly tropical island. Cubans have a strong love for life, a passion for music and socialising that is contagious. If you don’t know how to dance when you arrive, you certainly will by the time you leave. Adapting to the Cuban way of life is one of the pleasures of visiting the country and continues to enthral travellers.

Together with cigar smoke and rum cocktails, baseball, and everywhere visual references of the 1959 revolution, these picturepostcard portraits of Cuba tell a more complete tale of the largest island in the Caribbean. Christopher Columbus discovered Cuba on his way back to Spain after his second voyage to the New World in 1492 and was the first European to remark on its beauty. Today, the island state is starting to exploit its glorious attractions and offers visitors an alternative Caribbean holiday. A TASTE OF CUBA • Cubans enjoy their nightlife, from local salsa to simply catching up with friends

• Bars in Havana are well known for their thriving music scene • Varadero has plenty of bars and restaurants offering local cuisine

• Guardalavaca has a much slower more relaxed pace, so eating out and nightlife is limited and based around the hotels.

Into the West Experience and explore the best that the west of Ireland has to offer, with an enjoyable cycling tour. You can explore the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Burren in Co Clare, the beautiful lakes and mountains of Connemara and historical Joyce Country, in Co. Mayo.

FOOD & DRINK

Waterford Mail 28 May 2015

Food & drink FRUGAL cooking, but packed with flavour use up leftovers from roast chicken with these easy Mexicanstyle delights. INGREDIENTS • 4 tbsp hot salsa from a jar • 2 large flour tortillas, seeded or plain • 215g can kidney beans, drained and roughly mashed • 1 spring onion, chopped • 50g leftover roast chicken, shredded (use the last of the meat on the carcass) • 85g grated mature cheddar • ½ a 20g pack coriander, leaves chopped (optional) • oil, for brushing

Quick family supper dish

Salsa chicken & cheese tortillas

METHOD • Spread 2 tbsp salsa onto each tortilla, then evenly top one of them with the beans, spring onion, chicken and cheddar. Scatter with coriander, if you have it. Sandwich with the other tortilla, then brush with oil. • Heat a large nonstick frying pan, then cook the tortilla, oil-side down, for 4 mins. Carefully turn over with a palette knife (or by turning it out onto a plate, sliding it back into the pan), then cook for 2 mins on the other side until golden. Serve cut into wedges.

Intis, Chardonnay-Chenin From Argentina, 12.5% abv A cheap as chips, as frugal as French fries, this is a great value wine. On the nose it’s floral and intense. However, in the mouth it has zingy citrus and a little pineapple, but is not too dry, nor the finish overly sharp or long. If you ever find yourself having veal, this is perfect, or you could just enjoy it with “The Late Late Show”. Price: €7.99 a bottle

Red: Elagancia de Bernard Margez From Uraguay 12% abv For something a little different this week I’ve chosen this blend of Merlot, Tannat and Marselen. It has lots of red fruits on the nose and in the mouth with raspberries to the fore but with some cherry also there is even a little aniseed in the mix too. It has a longer than expected finish, which warms you. I’d serve this with lamb dishes/ Lebanese food (although perhaps not a doner at 3am). Price: €16.99 a bottle.

Farm to fork MCGRATHS’ Butchers, Lismore, is a traditional butcher, known for his quality farm to fork produce that is proudly served on the plates of some of Waterford’s award-winning restaurants including the O’Brien Chop House. McGrath’s Butchers has been a family run butcher and abattoir since 1900. It is now run by Michael McGrath and his son John, known as ‘Sca’ McGrath. All of their beef and lamb are reared on their own farm and slaughtered in their own abattoir. Several fridges are for hanging and dry ageing meats on the bone - Angus beef gets at least 28 days to tenderise and

develop intense flavour. You can tell by the deep colour it has been aged this way. Dark meat and a good marbling of fat indicates superlative beef. You’ll find much of that here. They specialise in preparing beef and lamb for your own deep freeze, and can also do so for your own animal. They also provide side’s of beef, lamb or pork. A rare treasure in an age of supermarket meat counters, this highly-prized fourth generation butcher is of the old school, where traditional methods decree that meats will hang in the shop awaiting the customer’s order.
