And the other toss of the coin was the lemon meringue because my mother made the most amazing lemon meringue pie.

And I've yet to find anything to match it.

Yeah.

It was.

Yeah, I just kind of find sometimes if I was sitting here with the lemon meringue pie, it would just be so obvious.

So I just thought, no, tuna bake, that's me.

We grew up in a hotel and I think back then, you know, we were put to bed early, obviously, because we were children and we were 26 bedrooms in a bar.

And in the middle of the night, which was probably nine o'clock at night, Mammy would wake us up with mashed spuds and butter and a jug of milk.

And I remember sitting, like waking up and sitting on the side of the bed and getting your mashed spuds.

and your jug of milk and back into bed again.

So I think we grew up with good, healthy food.

We had a huge garden and all the vegetables and stuff like that.

So I think cooking was all the time in our house, yeah.

Um, probably when I was six.

I think, you know, as early as I could carry something to the tables.

Yeah.

Yeah, very much so.

And, you know, I think growing up in a fishing family, you know, they're gone.

And way back then, I remember coming home from the disco or whatever, and you'd be trying to sneak in while your father was getting ready to go fishing.

So, you know, it's kind of you grew up in that world where work was huge.
