I have too much hate in me to eat in govindhas. My vibes cause all the hippies to get indigestion and start crying.

Was ian the older guy with the extensive knowledge of everything Van Morrison? Practicly threw me into the record shop outside and made me buy Astral Weeks when i said i'd never listened to it. Then served me breakfast; all day. Everytime one of these little gems close down a little part of me dies.

Remember the Red Rose/Wed Wose?

Shoot, i'm welling up here...

Anyone remember the alpha cafe with the pepsi sign at the bottom of exchequer street? That was a great spot for a fried slice and a pot of tea for one.

Amen to that, one of the best breakfasts in town. That little room on the left was a great hideout, although I always felt bad for making the aul wan shuffle all the way in there with my extra toast.

Conversation between a waitress and a certain infamous loon:

Loon: 'Ah'll have a pottah tee, schum butta and a schone.'
spanish waitress: 'Que?'
Loon: 'Ah'll have a POTTAH tee, schum BUTTA and a schone.'
spanish waitress: 'Sorry, no..what?'
Loon: 'Ah'll have a POTTAH tee, schum BUTTA and a SCHONE.'

for a vegetarian place the food in govindas seems to lack almost any solid vegetables at all. its just a plate of rice with gooey stodge that sits in the stomach and makes me feel fat. i'll never eat their shite again.

To be sung to the tune of 'I'll never fall in love again.'

::clef:: What do you get, when you go to Govindas?
A plate full of stodge, that sits in your stomach.
If that's what you get for all your troubles,

I have to agree. it's like something my mam would attempt to cook. she can't help but boil the fuck out of every veg. I wondered why as a child i didn't really like food but it was simply because she was shit at making it.

also find that govinda's put waaay too much spinach in things. i doubt i'm getting loads of iron out of it when it's so slimey and sad looking.

you can get chickpea curries in an Indian supermarket hot deli on Moore Street, they have cups for 2 euro and plates/boxes for 5 and its super filling. shame about the grease but if you eat in town expect heart disease.

 

[dowel]

the cloudy-juice you get it quite lovely, whats that now?

I find the peppery stodge ok on a really freezing day in say...February.

and 'tis cheap, its a hell of a lot better for you than a lot of cheap fill-up food.

where exactly is this place?

 

[Rachel666]

where exactly is this place?

it's on the same side as LIDL, it's half way down, sort of inbetween chineses and chinese food stores. It's at the very back of the supermarket. there's a nice selection for flesh eaters too...

 

[jillface]

i went off cornucopia food because for over a year i lived with someone who worked there who would breing home food.
the bread got boring.

i had the best soup of my life in there once - tomato, with heaps of pasta in it. and a big ol' hunk o' bread to dunk into it. i felt like a viking.

gawd it was lovely.

 

[jillface]

surely gruel is in a different league than govindas? i love their fruit crumble. the bangers and mash are a delight too, although they look like large turds. ive never had anything in there that i havent enjoyed although the tables and chairs can be quite rickety.

 

[Corey]

Gruels pricey,no?
