Gaelic Imports

You might at first take this Jefferson Park spot to be merely one more of the many shops around town peddling Irish gifts like Belleek china and Aran knits. But something more is happening here: back beyond a small but densely-stocked grocery section offering imported staples like baking supplies, sauces and crisps is an open kitchen where shop staff whip up a range of traditional Irish comfort foods. Try the sausage rolls, super flaky, rich puff pastry shells wrapped around a filling of herby ground pork. It’s a simple combination that’s a little salty, a little fatty, and extremely satisfying.
