This Was An EMOTIONAL FOOD REVIEW For Me!

My last video in Dublin and I'm at the famous Darkey Kelly's which is known as one of the best pubs in the entire city. I'm also here for one special reason, when in Ireland, you have to have a lot of Guinness and a hearty Irish stew! This was a bit of an emotional one for me today.

I was born in the Rotunda hospital in Dublin 1955. Back then, Guinness donated a bottle of stout to every woman in the maternity ward. Their kind gesture was to keep the women's iron level up.

[@GaryEats]

That’s a great story and fantastic to hear thank you 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@Madigan2]

That stopped when they started putting all the chemicals in it. Years ago, they used state Guinness was good for you. They used also say - an apple a day keeps the Doctor away

[@Matt19matt19]

​@@Madigan2Doubt it. What chemicals are these then please back up your claim. They probably stopped because it's actually a myth that Guinness contains iron. It doesn't. Well perhaps a negligible amount. They also probably stopped because of the concept of giving out alcohol.

Visited Dublin 20 years ago. Found a recommended food pub. I forget the name. Arrived about 7.30pm. Place was packed. No tables available. Ordered a drink and asked about ordering food. No problem, said the barman, if you don't mind sitting at the bar. I didn't, so I did. Had a fabulous Irish Stew while chatting with the incredibly friendly bar staff. Great memories.

We don't want you to go! I used to be a tour guide in Dublin and one thing that a lot of people don't know about Guinness is they had the harp before Ireland became a republic and in 1879 trademarked the harp. When Ireland became a republic, they wanted the harp for the national emblem. They made a deal with Guinness, Guinness said the harp could be used as long as it was turned the other way around. So if you look at the harp as national emblem on govt buildings etc, the harp faces opposite the Guinness harp. I could tell you a lot about Darkey Kelly as well, very dark history! Next time you are here Gary, go to Johnny Foxes and the Blue light in the Dublin mountains, fab places.

[@AdrianLee-ho1ds]

Actually, there was a harp in the Irish flag between 1801 and 1922, but I accept that it was a different design. I believe the harp had the head of a woman.

[@mamasinger49]

@@AdrianLee-ho1ds Been used for so many centuries, as far back as 8th century, sure even Henry VIII took it upon himself to make himself King of Ireland in 1541 and used the harp on new coins he had made with a harp with a crown on top. Many different uses and variations throughout the centuries, just was pointing out the agreement between Guinness and the new republic at the time. So much history in Ireland and the harp alone has so much, always very interesting.

It is delicious though

It's Irish Amber which you always find at the end of 🌈 rainbows!

Guinness in Ireland and Northern Ireland is totally different from the mainland. Far superior in the Irish pubs. They know how to keep the stuff. 👏👏👏👏

[@GaryEats]

Very very nice

Hi Gary Very good finish to your visit to the lovely city of Dublin. I think 8/10 for that one. The Irish stew looked warm and comforting washed down with a lovely pint of Guinness. I also really liked the presentation of the pudding which was very unusual. It also looked scrummy. I would have liked to see a biscuit with it as I always think mouse needs a little bit of context with it. Good looking pub too. As usual an excellent video mate

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much Tony

[@jesswesties3975]

Cead mile failte (the Irish for a hundred thousand welcomes) Gary. Glad you will visit them west of Ireland. Can’t wait to hear about your adventures. 🇮🇪

[@GaryEats]

I’m definitely goings and some excellent places lined up

[@margaretconnery7422]

Nothing beats a dish made by mum ,i loved my mum's stew😋.Dessert looked like velvet sublime. Cheers Gary 😊 xx

[@GaryEats]

Great memories Margaret xx

Looked like a lovely place Gary. Fantastic n delicious looking food. I'm a bit like you, looking back to when my folks owned a pub. A lot of work helping out just to earn a few pound if you were lucky, but great memories. The chocolate mousse brought me back to my school days when you could buy it in a polystyrene cup for 10p 😆. If you were lucky enough, you would have enough money left over to buy a packet of 5/10p crisp. Ah they were the days. 😄 Lovely place, such great value for food, especially with a pint. Agree with the 8.5/9, worth a visit for sure. Safe journey ahead. Looking forward to it. 👏👍

[@GaryEats]

A fantastic comment Gaz, this brought back so many wonderful memories 💯👌👍

[@gtaswfc4684]

Amber nectar??😂 It's Guinness Gaz .The Black Stuff lol ..Great review as always..👍👍

[@GaryEats]

Thank you and yes I am a bit of a muppet lol

[@leighdowns9928]

Wow Gary This visit brought back a lot of great memories of our last night in Dublin, we went to another loose lady’s restaurant, Nancy Hands, pay to go there when you get back to that great city, as always Cheers from NZL

[@GaryEats]

I’ll definitely take a look Leigh thank you 🇳🇿🇳🇿

[@im7895]

Thanks for sharing Gary! It's funny sometimes when you eat something and it brings back great memories! 😊

[@GaryEats]

You are completely right some foods bring you some wonderful memories

[@robtok1968]

Well Gary you've nailed that last Dublin review and what a place to finish. I used to go there many years ago pre Dublin GAA matches. Great tourist spot and you can see why. On the quieter end of Temple Bar but very handy for the sights like Christchurch and Dublin Castle. The food there has always been outstanding and I'm glad you had such a delicious meal. Food should stir up emotions, and it did! Top review 👍👍👍

[@GaryEats]

Thank you and as you’ve visited you understand how good the pub is overall 👍👍

[@pcset12]

Gary, great review..glad you enjoyed Dublin...next time you have got to go south to Cork which is regarded as the culinary capital of Ireland..take good care.

[@GaryEats]

I will certainly coming to Cork for sure 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@whanna231]

Glad to hear you are going to go further than Dublin sir. As good as Dublin is, Ireland gets even better. Come and visit us in the North and even better, get yourself to Donegal in the Winter. A nice cottage somewhere with the fire lit and some good local eating. Nothing like it.

[@GaryEats]

I will be visiting all around Ireland over the next six months

[@murtaghj]

Aw, Gary man xx love to u sir. My family are Irish. I was born in England, brought up here. Lost our Dad in 2022, still can't believe it. Memories eh. Special x

[@GaryEats]

I’m so sorry to hear that always keep the memories x

[@Jeremyparker]

Wow that looked like a 10/10 all day long for me! I'll be looking up Darkey Kelly's next time I'm in Dublin!

[@GaryEats]

Definitely worth a visit Jeremy

[@silviodawson3414]

Wow! What lovely looking food, especially that stew! Never heard of the black stuff being described as "Amber nectar", Though 😅

Desert looked beautiful lovely presentation. Stew looked gorgeous

[@GaryEats]

All round really good food 💯💯🇮🇪

[@nickfilleul3463]

Never, in the field of human food tasting channels, have I ever salivated more than on Gary’s. I’ve unsubscribed from most of the other channels. I’m reminded of the closing scene in the 70’s TV show “The Galloping Gourmet” when our host and chef Graham Kerr pulled the most ecstatic facial expressions while tasting the new dish, making me desperate to be the lucky audience member who shared the dish (and wine of course). Sensational review again Gary. Always unpretentious, warm and on point. Yet another way-point for the sat nav!

[@GaryEats]

That’s such a kind and appreciated comment Nick thank you very very

[@Quaker521]

That stew proves something that I've always said, that as long as you add love and attention to a dish, no matter how humble, it can be a great dish. Thanks for taking us to Dublin with you Gary, it's been great.

[@GaryEats]

I had a fantastic time and thank you

[@mark120964]

Hi Gary, that stew was to die for, but the desert, that was in a league of its own, nice one Gary. Mark 😊

[@GaryEats]

Both amazing value Mark 💯👍

[@user-vr1mu9eb3p]

Hi gary , i liked the authentic decor of this pub, and the stew looked so rich and creamy, good choice of dessert fantastic . Its A 10 🎉

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very, very much

[@jasonnhiggins615]

Enjoyed ur 3 videos in Dublin Gar and hope you make some more soon

[@GaryEats]

More from Ireland in about 4 weeks time Jason 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@davidnm21]

That looks a plate of deliciousness and happiness Gary cannot beat a decent stew with a pint of stout, they go so well together. Goodness even the dessert looked appealingly good.

[@GaryEats]

David all round this was simply A1 👌🇮🇪

[@judybee]

Do you know what Gary?...you are so right when you said the stew brought back memories of your mum. Same here. Days cooking, filling the house with delicious aromas & then when you ate it you wouldn't want it to end it was so yummy. Both my mum & my nan were such good cooks. I haven't inherited their skills!! Lost my mum when I was only 31 but the memories of her cooking stay with me every time I smell a stew cooking. Wish I could turn back that clock. The Irish are so welcoming. Last time I was in Tipperary the owner baked me a soda bread to take home with me as a surprise! So glad you enjoyed your trip x J x

[@GaryEats]

Thank you for sending that lovely comment Jude, really nice to read and my best wishes to you

[@judybee]

@@GaryEats I actually had an aunty Darky!!!!! My nan's best friend. Goodness knows why they called her that as she was as blond as can be!!! Ha ha!! x J x

Definitely going in there soon all my life a Dubliner sad to say was never in darkeys thanks for video enjoy 🎉rest off Ireland 😊

This was really good Brian and definitely worth a visit 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@Lesley-mu9vt]

Glad you enjoyed your trip to Ireland. We went to London for the day and had lunch at blacklock Covent garden . We agree with your review. 10 out of 10. Great service, food and very clean. We were so full we were ready to go home for a sleep! Walking was a struggle after such a large meal. Thanks Gary.

I’m so pleased you had a great time Lesley that’s fantastic 💯👌
