RTE visits Nugent

ANOTHER of our columnists, Nick Nugent, was seen on RTE last weekend. Nick and his wife Alice welcomed the crew from Lords & Ladles to their home at Ballinlough Castle in Co Westmeath. The series see celebrity chefs cook ancient menus in old country houses. The Nugents were ‘treated’ to cow’s udder, hare and hen’s nest. It remains to be seen if these delicacies pop up on the menu at the next Body & Soul Festival at Ballinlough. As usual Nick was never short of a quip on camera though most viewers will agree his mother Lady Pepe stole the show. The programme will be repeated today (Saturday) at 3.55pm on RTE One.
