Now my favourite bastion of haute cusine is KCs in Douglas but I could barely locate Mattie Kiely's greasy spoon in Maylor street for you.<BR/> <BR/>Anyway, my dad began reminiscing about the past and recalled how when he was about 20 he and a friend were jumped ouside Mattie Kiely's by a gang of five lads because they asked a guy who was obstructing the door to move aside to let them in. I was shocked and aghast - somehow I thought mindless street yobs were only in existence from 1990 onwards. Anyway, they escaped relatively unscathed minus their chips and curry.<BR/><BR/>On a much nicer note my dad said that Mattie used to feed the homeless winos who used to come in to the chipper and money never ever changed hands.<BR/><BR/>So if the Cork Simon Community ever wonder why the ageing winos look disdainfully at their soup they'll now know it's because they are used to superior sustenance.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06137514263838456334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101818155971297281.post-69502317899823497932007-02-24T11:16:00.000-08:002007-02-24T11:16:00.000-08:00Reminds me of the time I went into the Golden Fry ...Reminds me of the time I went into the Golden Fry in Ballinlough and asked for a Hawaiian Burger.
