I know you’re a foodie. It’s a long way from you but should you visit Cork ask us where to eat.
Just had one of the best meals ever and that’s saying something considering how good food in Ireland is!

Did you have haggis G ?

Question Author

No,Anne. No haggis on the menu in Cork.
We do have a butcher in the village who will make haggis to order and a friend who will wear a kilt and address the haggis. I miss his knees and the swirling skirt this year. :-(

Aren't Dave's knees up to your high standards then, Gness ;-)

anneasquith

Maybe Dave would oblige. ?

Question Author

No, Anne and Dave. To measure properly for a kilt the kilt wearer to be has to kneel.
Dave complains if I ask him to kneel down in front of me as I hold out the tape measure.
Can’t think why.

Anne and Chris’s that should read! Dave is otherwise occupied but putting me off

That will be one of my regrets when I get to the Pearly Gates, that I never managed to visit Ireland (and I find excessive travel just too much these days).

And I do so like a drop of draught Guinness, which I'm told is much better in the Emerald Isle.

Must have improved a huge amount from when I was living and playing in a band in Ireland at the end of the 70s, gness. I remember a particularly awful Chinese restaurant (about the only option at the time) in Limerick whose food seemed to consist entirely of monosodium glutamate.
When we played there again, we had to eat there again!

It's not that hard to get to Dublin from almost anywhere in the UK, Canary 42, and the pint of Guinness that you get given in the Gravity Bar (included in the price of your admission ticket to the Guinness Storehouse) is far better than any you'll ever find in the UK:

I’m sorry if you won’t experience Ireland, Canary. It’s a kind and welcoming country. And yes, the nearer you are to Dublin the better the Guinness.
We could meet you in Dublin if you could make it that far?

Welcoming?
There's plenty want the asylum seekers out. Far more reaction from the public in Ireland than there is in England.

Gg.. you have no idea how much the food has improved in the last few years.
I’ll nudge Dave for a not Irish opinion.
