Paolo Tullio laid to rest in Dublin

The funeral was held at Trinity College today.

THE FUNERAL OF the much loved food critic, restaurateur and broadcaster Paolo Tullio was held today in Examination Hall at Trinity College.

The humanist service was attended by his family and friends, many of whom were from the culinary world.

The acclaimed food-writer died last week at the age of 65.

Tullio was well-known as the Irish Independent’s food critic, and for his appearances on “The Restaurant”, which aired on RTÉ, before moving to TV3 this year.

His regular appearances on Seán Moncrieff’s afternoon show on Newstalk were extremely popular with listeners.

The radio presenter paid tribute to Tullio today:

    @⚡ Seánie ⚡: it’s even more fun when you glue four Kitkat Chunkies together and see the reaction from others.

    @Harry Whitehead: All Kit Kat lovers will never forgive you for that scurrilous comment. Sacrilege of the highest order. Will not sit at table in canteen at work with the unbelievers who produce supermarket home brands of Kit Kat. Peasants who do not know the true meaning of four fingers.

    Mind you, people were familiar with the real Toblerone shape before the other company took chunks out of it at their discretion. I didn’t hear that company arguing that people had come to expect the usual trademark shape. With all the usual triangles.

    Leo bars are much more wide spread in Belgium I’d say the average Belgian would think ok Leo if you showed them the Kitkat shape can’t nestle just be happy with their regional trademarks can’t have an Eu one if it’s not popular or even we’ll known in EU.
