Food for Thought

Based in the Dublin’s Liberties, Cornude’s multi-award winning popcorn is handmade by Ruth Ormiston from start to finish. Cornude specialises in producing popcorn for larger events, so it’s ideal for weddings,.

1. Who is your queer icon and why?

Oh, I go straight to my 1980s childhood bedroom in rural Ireland, where ‘Karma Chameleon’ constantly belted out of the old record player and the walls were adorned with colourful posters of Boy George. Far from doom and gloom, it was.

2. Your Favourite place to eat in Dublin?

Oh, gosh! For me it’s all about the meal experience, so without further ado… everyone to mine for 7pm, for food, chats, and a song or two. Then jackets on and we’re headed down to Street 66’s Gin Quarters for a – you guessed it – gin dessert. Once dessert has settled in nicely, we’re off for a good old bop and some ginormous pizza in DiFontaines on Parliament Street.

3. Who is rocking your world in food right now?

I just love to see courage and passion come together, so a woman called Hari Ghotra is my lady of the moment. Based in Surrey, she’s a cool individual who like myself is mad about ingredients, flavours and their authenticities. She’s totally doing her thing right now. Go Hari!

4. They’re making a film of your life. Who plays you and what is it called?

Okay, so the film would surely be called ‘Chasing Umami’ and without a doubt I would be played by Melissa McCarthy. There’d be close instruction, though.

5. What would be the first dance song at your wedding?

If anyone was hearty enough to pin me down, I’d definitely be looking at Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames 1965 hit ‘Yeh Yeh’. There’d be zero bums on seats with that one.
