Recipe For Honey Baked Ham

Recipe for success in Ranelagh

There’s a lot of things to like about a new tapas bar, but it’s cave-like interior isn’t one of them, writes CATHERINE CLEARY  

KEEP IT SIMPLE. Make it friendly. And open it in Ranelagh. It’s the three-point plan for restaurant success these days. It’s as if Ranelagh residents all ate in Monaco during the boom and are now slumming it in the neighbourhood places. Whatever has happened, the Dublin village is hopping. I’ll bet it’s had the largest number of new restaurants opened per square foot than any village in Ireland in the past 12 months.

And one of the newest is a tapas bar called La Bodega. There’s lots to like here, the cooking for a start, barring one strange ingredient. And there’s the buzz of a full restaurant which has hit the ground running and created its own crowd in the face of plenty of other offerings.

It’s a proper summer’s evening when I arrive late and Rosita has been ensconced for a while. I leave the summer night behind when I step in as it’s Spain of the dark and Moorish variety rather than sundrenched whitewash in here. They are slightly hamstrung with the building, which like most places in this terraced street only has light coming from the front.

This is fine for most nights of the year when you want a cosy place to step into out of the cold, but we both find it a bit cave-like. “Why would you put black wallpaper on the walls in a city that’s dark and where it rains a lot?” Rosita asks.

She also isn’t a fan of the leatherette high-back chairs and banquettes that look like they might have been sourced from a 1997 hotel restaurant. The final quibble (and yes, there is good stuff to come) is the noise level. The waitress has to lean in to hear my order.

The food that comes is good, and simple. There are light bites that you might go for if you wanted to treat this place like a wine bar, tapas (small plates costing between €5.50 and €8.50) and raciones (larger plates at between €9.50 and €12.50) and salads. We order a wide selection. The stars of the night are the boquerones, or marinated raw anchovies (€4). They’re a much needed makeover for this tasty but plain fish, which normally comes served as a brown mush.

Here the raw fish have been sliced lengthwise and marinated to a china whiteness. They’re laid out in a star shape and garnished with a spring onion. I could eat several plates of them.

There is always a difference among us and the way we use to do things, for example, cooking. Harry J. Hoenselaar found a way to prepare meat differently. He is the founder of the Honey Baked Ham’s company, which started in 1957, in Michigan. Hoenselaar invented a machine so as to slice the ham into perfect spiral ones.

His store includes different types of prepared meat, such as ham, beef, barbecue pork roast and so on. The business started to expand and to open ecen more stores in many other countries. With Honey baked ham you can organize even a birthday party, an anniversary or what you wish because they’ve made also desserts besides ham products. Generally their products don’t have high prices. You can get a honey baked turkey breast under the price of $25, or a delicious carrot cake somewhere between $25 and $50, a beef brisket dinner between $50 and $75 and other specialties over $75.
