I live for Sunday morning breakfasts at my favorite spot, the Muddy Brook Cafe in Pearl River. They serve the finest Celtic farmhouse breakfast including black and white pudding (if you don't know what it is - don't ask - but rest assured it's NOT dessert!) Huge rashers of bacon (not a speck of fat to be found anywhere..) they even bake their own soda brown bread and have baked beans if you wish, but not like those you're used to. These are the baked beans I used to pack in my suit cases by the dozen when I first moved to the USA and found I couldn't bear to live without. I love the fact that there's grilled tomatoes and HP brown sauce too.

The staff are delightful Irish lasses sporting a thick Dublin brogue and quick to ensure that everything is perfect, even if your accent (like mine) doesn't match theirs....I'm from the other side of the Irish Sea, Wales, but as it's only 29 miles from Dublin across the water, we have similar tastes and are definitely all Celts.

For those not used to such strange fare, there are fluffy pancakes or superb French toast served with fresh fruit and a huge menu of other more common items one would expect to find this side of the pond.

The Muddy Brook also serves daily lunch specials, including another "Must Have" for ex-pats, Chicken curry with chips (or French fries as they are know in these climes!) Their Roast Beef dinner, Dublin Style fish and chips, Beef & Guiness Stew or Leinster Sirloin Steak with Whiskey sauce, all washed down with a strong cup of Irish tea and fresh baked scones to follow! More than enough to make an ex-pat drool and put the homesick pangs to rest a while.

So next time you are looking for hearty start to your day, try a little touch of the Irish, and rush on over to 14 South Main St, Pearl River. Or call in advance and take some home with you...Tel: 845 735 5665.

Enjoy!
