Absolutely Fabulous: more culinary walking tours

On 3rd June i wrote about Historical Insights, - Dublin walking tours focused on Irish food. Another crowd offering similar and some more ambitious packages are Fabulous Food Trails. Round Dublin they offer "... an exciting tasting and cultural walk around the lesser known parts..." But also on offer are longer weekend and 4-5 day packages round Cork, the South East, Galway and Connemara. Maybe not cheap but there seem to be lots of exclusive private dinners, silver service picnics, visits to suppliers, artisan producers, farms and this is the bit i like, chances to "forage and fish". No better way and nothing tastes more enjoyable: a simple pleasure but when in Connemara and the tide is right, picking a sackfull of mussels in Manin Bay with the sun on your back and the terns in the sky is your only man. and then there's the eating afterwards.
