Thornton’s Restaurant is an interesting example of the intersection of the conceived “purity” of Irish agriculture and the urban Irish culinary scene. Many of the dishes demonstrate global culinary fusion and traditional Irish ingredients, but the best example is by far the ‘Eireyu’ Beef with Pomme Mousseline and Shallot Sauce. By examining the dish and tracing its ingredients, this urban/rural culinary intersection is revealed – primarily while tracing the beef and potatoes within the dish.
