Steak, pink in the middle, with a glass of neat whiskey.

Almost anything with my favorite red ale - that produced by the Carlow Brewing Company.

And then there's post-drinking - chips doused in salt and vinegar... Or fries, to you Americans.

Any particular cut of steak or any particular whiskey?

T-bone or fillet, mmm. With mushrooms and onions. As for whiskey, I'm still partial to Jameson, which is neither expensive nor 'classy'; but it's the whiskey I drink, and the whiskey my father drinks, and probably the whiskey my son or my daughter will drink.

Nothin' wrong with Jameson. That said, if you ever do get the chance to drink some aged Jameson, you will be amazed. I've had the 18 year, and its remarkably delicious.

I usually buy a 12-year for my dad every Christmas and that's delicious enough - I'll have to put some 18-year into me sometime.

It's the whiskey I drink most often myself. Cheers!

Sláinte! That reminds me - if any of you Hubskiers are passing through Ireland, let me know and maybe we can go for a sneaky pint...

That would be great, I would love to be in Ireland enjoying a pint!
