The Menu: Get your teeth into making the most of meat
Presuming you're a meat eater, when was the last time you went to the butcher's? Note, I didn't ask, when was the last time you ate meat as, these days, the bulk of the nation's meat for home consumption is now purchased in the supermarket. Whereas our grandparents were so familiar with the inside of a butcher's shop — or multiple butchers' shops, when 'shopping around' was de rigueur — they could probably reassemble an entire carcass from the constituent cuts laid out at the counter, most of us now buy our meat in the supermarket; the supermarkets, in turn, mostly buy it in already shrink-wrapped from the processor. Many younger consumers can only tell what part of what animal they are purchasing by the package label detailing both creature and cut. That ever-growing ignorance around food we eat is a consequence of a decades-old trade-off when generations of knowledge around food, its provenance, sourcing, and cooking, was exchanged for the convenience of shopping in then-emerging supermarkets. Back when larger families were the norm and dishwashers and tumble dryers were still future shock stuff of BBC TV show Tomorrow's World, it was a blameless choice for the woman of the house, the concept of 'house husbands' too outlandish for even Tomorrow's World to contemplate. (By all accounts, current 'prototypes' are still relatively scarce and often pretty 'glitchy'.) I'm a firm believer in eating less meat but always ensuring it is premium Irish meat and the independent craft butcher is unsurpassable when it comes to sourcing the very finest. But they are struggling, echoing the fate of the independent fruit and veg grocers. In 1990, there were roughly 2,300 independent butchers' shops in Ireland. Today there are less than 550. Whereas an independent craft butcher needs to be making a profit of at least 35% to cover costs, supermarkets are often happy with 2-3% profit or even to use meat as a loss leader to draw in customers. As ever, I'll never spoil your brekkie with a 'bad news' story unless there is some chink of light to cast a more positive glow and Munster Technological University's highly intriguing new BA in Sustainable Butchery and Gastronomy has the potential to do just that. What began as an inspired notion from butcher Pat Whelan has evolved into a two-year degree course commencing next January, joining the dots between culinary arts, agriculture, and business, with meat as the common thread. The comprehensive course appears especially suited to butchers seeking to develop skills in leadership and innovation (including new product development) but it is also open to others working in the meat sector. The course examines how meat is produced, butchered, cooked, and eaten around the world, digging down deep into breeds (10 or 15 years ago, we ate 'beef'; increasingly we seek out Angus, Hereford, Dexter, and, so on) and the impact of various gastronomical approaches. It covers agricultural production and the 'science' of beef, including anatomy, nutrition, and factors that affect taste, texture, and overall quality; there is even a 'beef sommelier' module, the result of a link with Buenos Aires University, in Argentina, Ireland's main rival as a premium beef producer. I appreciate most readers won't skip from savouring a breakfast sausage to suddenly signing up but you can still elevate standards on your own plate, and celebrate world-class Irish beef and lamb as a premium foodstuff of extraordinary quality. Say sayonara to supermarket meat-shopping and seek out an Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland member to act as your guide. Buy good meat cookbooks, starting with Irish classics, Pat Whelan's The Irish Beef Book, and And For Mains, by Gaz Smith and Rick Higgins, and best of all, The Book of St John, by Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver, from the globally renowned London restaurant that brought nose-to-tail meat cooking to the fine dining table, showing how cheap cuts can be priceless on the plate and that offal means the very opposite of awful. TABLE TALK Sandwich guru Barry Enderwick ( dives into his Sandwiches of History: The Cookbook with a live Dublin show (July 18) featuring special guest stars, live sandwich making and tasting with audience-suggested ad-ons, audience Q&A, trivia games and more. When it comes to cooking with fresh Irish produce, few culinary courses can surpass those at Lettercollum House, in West Cork, one of Ireland's great market gardens and where Karen Austin with her summer series of classes covering Lebanese, Spanish, Mediterranean and South East Asian cuisines. Today (June 21) being World Martini Day, I'd advise a trip this week to No 27 Bar at Dublin's Shelbourne to sample their four flights of ice-cold hand-batched martinis available until June 27, because a good martini fixes everything! TODAY'S SPECIAL "I approached Mór Taste compote-like preserves with interest, as they shun the traditional 50-50 fruit to sugar ratio of traditional jams for a 70% reduction in sugar, and incorporating 85% fruit." Always open to reducing sugar intake, I approached Mór Taste compote-like preserves with interest, as they shun the traditional 50-50 fruit to sugar ratio of traditional jams for a 70% reduction in sugar, and incorporating 85% fruit. Raspberry was a challenge for one raised on the traditional sweeter version since childhood until I paired it with natural yogurt and grilled peach but it was Cherry that really knocked my socks off, the reduction in sugar emphasising the tart, almond-adjacent flavours and if I then tried it with crème fraîcheon sweet toasted brioche … well, that's just the way this Sugar Daddy rolls!

Port St. Lucie Police's new rookie has four legs and a nose trained to find electronics
PORT ST. LUCIE — The police department's newest addition is four-legged and a little furry, but his salary is budget-friendly – he works for food and a few scratches behind the ear. Dexter, a 2-year-old black Labrador, joined the force on June 16. He's trained to search for cell phones, tablets, computers, GPS trackers and other equipment that can be used as evidence in a crime investigation. Dexter is specifically trained to detect the chemical scent of the glue inside the devices, according to police officials. But he's also dual certified as a therapy dog to provide emotional support to victims and his new co-workers, Police Chief Leo Niemczyk said June 19. When Dexter sees his handler Detective Andrew Zamfino put on his food pouch and say "go," Dexter knows it's time for work, Zamfino said. Zamfino took a personality test to be matched with a police dog with the same kind of temperament, he said. Dexter held a brief meet-and-greet June 19 with his handler Zamfino and trainer Will Harris. He has yet to get his first real assignment, but the police agency has plans for how they'll deploy its newest rookie. "Almost every investigation that we encounter in this day and age has an electronic component to it, whether it be cell phones or computers, and oftentimes people are trying to hide and dispose of evidence," Niemczyk said. "Cell phones get thrown out of car windows all the time, and we end up searching grounds for thrown-out cell phones. This dog will be very helpful in that situation." Dexter was donated to the Port St. Lucie Police Department as part of a program with OUR Rescue in Indiana. The donation came with training and certification from Jordan Detection K9. There are only nine electronic storage detection and therapy-trained police dogs in Florida. Port St. Lucie Police is the second law enforcement agency in southeast Florida to get this kind of canine, police officials said. Dogs are selected as puppies, where trainers look for ones that use their nose to search for food, Harris said. That instinct is then transferred over to using their nose to find their target, he said. Dexter is a "food-reward dog," meaning he gets hand-fed after completing his task. "That makes him very efficient at what he does," Harris said, "because he has to do it to eat."

"It's a 24-hour a day job (for Dexter)," he said. Colleen Wixon is the education reporter for TCPalm and Treasure Coast Newspapers.

Wednesday, June 18 marked the last day Dexter was available to stream on Netflix. The streamer pulled the show almost exactly one year after the fan-favorite series landed on the platform on June 19, 2024. The move likely comes after the streaming agreement between Paramount and Netflix expired after a one-year period. The original Hall-led crime drama ran for more than eight seasons from 2006 to 2013. Recently, he returned as a narrator for the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin (2024), which took place in 1991 Miami and followed Dexter as he transformed from student to serial killer.

2 Singaporeans arrested in Thailand over human trafficking and money laundering charges
BANGKOK/SINGAPORE: A Singaporean man identified as Dexter was arrested at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport on Jun 18 for his suspected involvement in a transnational human trafficking and money laundering syndicate, but Dexter was not acting alone. In a joint statement released on Jun 19, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) confirmed that he was one of two Singaporean men, aged 36 and 38, arrested in Thailand alongside a 50-year-old Thai national in a coordinated cross-border operation with the Royal Thai Police (RTP). The arrests took place a day earlier, on Jun 17. The bust led to the seizure of assets worth over 20 million baht (S$790,600), including cash, luxury condominiums, laptops, mobile phones, hard drives, and multiple bank and SIM cards. Years in the making According to the SPF, investigations began in 2023 into the syndicate, which allegedly recruited foreign women and trafficked them into Singapore for vice work. Between April 2023 and May 2025, at least 76 women were arrested for prostitution-related offences, many believed to have been managed by the same criminal network. See also BREAKING: Tan Cheng Bock's new party members revealed Coordinated investigations between the SPF and RTP yielded key insights that ultimately led to the identification of the trio. The 38-year-old Singaporean was allegedly responsible for laundering the profits of the vice operations by channelling them through a complex network of bank accounts across borders. The 36-year-old Singaporean is said to have played a supporting role in facilitating the movement and management of the sex workers. Arrest at the airport Thai immigration authorities were tipped off that a wanted foreign national tied to prostitution and money laundering would be arriving in Bangkok on Singapore Airlines flight SQ714 from Changi Airport. Upon landing, Dexter was swiftly intercepted by officers from Thailand's Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) and immigration police. At least eight personnel surrounded him and escorted him away for questioning. He was later transferred to the Technology Crime Suppression Division for formal proceedings. He now faces multiple charges under Thai law, including: Conspiracy to procure, entice, or traffic persons for immoral purposes Promoting and facilitating prostitution for gain Advertising or soliciting prostitution via public media Conspiracy to commit money laundering See also Japanese man fills bathtub with curry rice and fulfils dream Transnational collaboration Singapore's Senior Assistant Commissioner (SAC) of Police Yeo Yee Chuan, deputy director of the SPF's Criminal Investigation Department, praised the collaboration between both forces. 'The SPF is committed to working closely with our regional partners, and we thank the RTP for their invaluable collaboration in dismantling this criminal network,' said SAC Yeo. 'Together, we can prevent the exploitation of women, stem the scourge of transnational crimes, and take affirmative action against the laundering of criminal proceeds.' RTP's Police Lieutenant-General Jirabhop Bhuridej echoed the sentiment, noting that the success of the operation was due to the professionalism and dedication of both Singaporean and Thai officers. Frozen assets As part of the ongoing investigation, the SPF has frozen over S$1.26 million in suspected criminal proceeds from the Singapore bank accounts linked to the 38-year-old suspect. The suspects remain in Thai custody as legal proceedings unfold.
