Our eventual winner was Ciara Quinn, who came up with this short & sweet number:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Nothing makes valentines day,
Like a takeaway with you!!

(By the way, congrats Ciara and we hope you have a lovely evening!)

But that’s not the only poem we received. Here’s a look at a few of the shortlisted entries:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
If i win this voucher
I’ll spend it on you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Men don’t like flowers
Just feed him and he’ll love you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Most verses rhyme
But this one doesn’t
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love Feedme
More than you!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Lets order something in
Or else you’re eating goo!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Chocolates are nice
But takeaway is what I do

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Rum is cheaper
Than a dinner for two!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
After a chicken curry and chips
You will let me kiss those lips!

And that’s us done and dusted for another Valentine’s! We hope everyone has a great day and don’t forget to check back again for another competition soon

Ireland Rugby

So who will win? And what will the score be? Guess the right answer and grab yourself more than a piece of the action at Feedme.ie! First correct score wins!

In more recent years, there’s been a mini explosion of local Irish breweries and you don’t have to go far to find them.  Take a look in any off licence and you’re as likely to find bottles of Galway Hooker, Dungarvin’s Black Rock Irish Stout and Curim Gold Wheat as you are cans of Smithwicks!

So what does this have to do with food?  Well, with all this great plonk to choose from, it doesn’t take long before a few intrepid taste testers start pairing good beers with great food.  So we’ve put together a little guide as to what beers should be paired with what foods.  Rather than going by food type, it’s usually better to go by the beer and pair it with styles of foods.

Stouts & porters

Award-winning Portsehouse Plain

Perfect with red meats like burgers and steaks, beef rogan josh, lamb balti and beef with black pepper sauce.  Stouts like Guinness have strong, dark caramel flavours and that goes well with stronger food flavours (though not necessarily spicy flavours!).
Recommended: Porterhouse Plain with a hearty beef & black bean sauce dish!

Ales

O'Hara's Irish Red Ale

Lighter ales are good all-rounders and go with just about anything, especially chipper chips, pizzas, omelettes and most chicken dishes.  Darker ales, like O’Hara’s Traditional Red Ale, go well with most Thai and Chinese starters and any seafood dishes.
Recommended: Dungarvin’s Copper Coast Red Ale with king prawn fried rice!

Pale Ales & Wheat Beers

Sierra Navada Pale Ale

Pale ales stand up to a bigger food punch than standard ales, the strong hoppy flavour can withstand some intense flavours.  If you like your spicy foods like some Indian and Thai dishes, pair it with a good pale ale like Sierra Nevada.  On the other side of the spectrum pale ales also go great with fried foods like chicken and Chinese shredded meat dishes.
Recommended: Porterhouse Hersbrucker with a spicy chicken madras!

Lagers

Pilsner Urquell

Lagers are great all-rounders like ales and are easily paired with pizzas, salads, sausages, chipper chips, pasta and more.  Don’t stray too far into strong foods as the taste of the beer will disappear as fast as the food leaves the plate!
Recommended: Pilsner Urquell with a classic margherita pizza!

We really hope this quick crash-course in beer and food has given you a few ideas!  Next time you’re ordering a tasty meal for two on Feedme.ie, why not nip down to the off-licence and pick up a bottle of good beer while your food is en route?
