This is a paid AD. John Quilter’s nipped over the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland to hunt down some of Fermanagh’s famous black bacon for his ultimate bacon sandwich. Toasted sourdough bread and crispy bacon topped with a delicious home-made brown sauce. John’s recipe is loaded with black pudding, onions, tomatoes and lemon to create the perfect twist on this breakfast classic.
Food Busker was a weekly online food show run by John Quilter and Jamie Oliver.
In Quilter’s own words: “Food Busker the weekly online media food show started life as a joint venture with Jamie Oliver, with close to ½ million followers over 3 platforms, 280k subscribers and 37 million views on YouTube. This included the TV show Food Junkies, a monthly column for Time Out, a series of films for the Canadian Tourist Board and articles for The Guardian to name but a few partnerships.” (Source: JohnQuilter.com about page).
Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George’s Channel.
Geopolitically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. As of 2016, 4.8 million people live in the Republic of Ireland, and 1.8 million live in Northern Ireland.
The Irish climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and thus very moderate, and winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area, although summers are cooler than those in continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.
A strong Irish culture exists, as expressed through Gaelic games, Irish music and the Irish language. The island’s culture shares many features with that of Great Britain, including the English language, and sports such as association football, rugby, horse racing, and golf.
Northern Ireland is variously described as a country, province, or region, which is part of the United Kingdom. Located in the northeast of the island of Ireland, Northern Ireland shares a border to the south and west with the Republic of Ireland.
