Was never keen on it. Much prefer liver and chips at Enzo`s on William Street. It`s the only time I`ll go to the city with the queen bee shopping is when she agrees to go here. The Yellow Road for takeaway although the last time I was in Limerick I got a lovely smoked cod in Slatterys (not the pub, the chippy ) .

Yes, liver and onions. Offal at it`s best. Fried liver is magic. Fry it with some onions with not too much oil or it boils in the oil. Then when finished add a bit of butter and deglaze the pan with a sup of milk until you have a sauce. Have the Kerr`s pinks steamed and pour the sauce over the spuds. A nicer dinner you will not get and for a pittance. I should have said that the liver should be coated in flour first. Enjoy.

Don`t know, it was got when we stayed at the brothers. The grease nearly killed me though, whatever kind of oil they used kept repeating on me for ages. It was lovely food though, in fairness.

Good stuff. Never tried the milk bit, must give it a go. Liver is an acquired taste but worth the effort. Kidneys too. Tripe is great when done with the right way - stewed with butter beans, carrot, onion and garlic. Magic.

Lived across the road from donkeys in 1993 while was at college, 15p for a battered sausage (regular size sausage ) and 45p for chips. great value but always preferred Luigis across from the train station myself.

You can’t bate a nice bit of lamb’s liver, I think people don`t like it because they remember it overcooked and rock hard, some of ye griping here will eat black pudding and that has intestines as the casing or it should if it`s the proper stuff. A nice bit of tripe and onions is the shot too

would it be cause the place is so old - "donkeys years"? i hear its not the best these days. Luigis is the business, anytime I get off a train i head straight over there for a feed.

Luigi`s does it for me but will always have a special place for Donkey`s. Stopped there many a time coming back from matches. Keeping up Bernie`s tradition.
