Want to know one of my favorite things about Dublin? Just when you think it’s like any other city – modern, fast, impersonal – it sneaks right up on you with its quaintness.
Dublin still has milkmen. The guys who drive around on Sunday evenings and drop off your milk for the next day. I’ve only seen them in action a few times – the one in our north side neighborhood drives a big blue van, door open out the back, the van filled with a very modern selection of milk. Slimline, low fat – probably a little more variety than the olden days!
I wish I had a photo to post for you from my neighborhood – one of these nights I”ll see if I can catch him in action!
But what I do have for you today is another, perhaps slightly more modern and polished, milkman. This one only operates on the south side for the moment, but Mr. Milkman himself told me yesterday he thinks the north side will be up and running next month! Yeah!
Check out the way it all arrives on your doorstep:
Don’t they have a cute website? Looking forward to when he expands and can deliver our bread, milk and Sunday paper every weekend. Doesn’t that sound like a lovely way to start a Sunday?
Now, I wonder would the fancy Dublin Milkman have any interest in adding some sweet baked treats to his selection? Perhaps some China Village whoopie pies or chocolate chip cookies? If you see him, southside friends, put in a good word!

Growing up our milkman (and everyone else’s on the street) was Mr. Healey. He drove a tan Hood truck, the kind that’s not made for any other use. He left milk on the step and later, when things got fancier, cottage cheese and items like that. On hot days in the summer the kids in the street chased the truck to ask Mr. Healey for a chunk of ice. He usually obliged before going on to finish the rest of his route.
I wonder if such a thing exists in fast-food, convenience store America anymore.
I remember the milkman, too. The thing I remember is how the milk looked on a very cold morning. The cream had all frozen and lifted up above the bottle. It just pushed the lid off and the lid was sitting on a stack of mild about an inch high.
