Irish Butcher’s Diagram

And here we have an Edwardian period Irish Butcher’s diagram showing how to make the most and best cuts from potatoes. πŸ˜†

And yeah, as I posted before, this is funny because, unlike certain sorts, we Irish and descendants of the Irish Diaspora aren’t fecking, skittering, perennially cheesed off omadhauns.

If Only This Worked

If Only This Worked
If Only This Worked

Forget Candy Man or any of the other summoning thriplets. Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary!

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary!

Yeah, if only this worked. I and a lot of the rest of us would be summoning brunch most weekend mornings. πŸ˜‰

Irish Food Pyramid

I present you the Irish Food Pyramid. πŸ˜† And yes, while you can easily get just about any cuisine that you want in Ireland’s cities, this does sum up classic Irish food in general, or so personal and anecdotal evidence, as well as lived experience, strongly indicates.

Oh, and why can I make fun of my own friends and relatives in Ireland? It’s because, unlike certain sorts, the Irish aren’t fecking, skittering, perennially cheesed off omadhauns.

If Veggies Are So Good

If Veggies Are So Good, Why Does Vegan Food Suck So Bad
If Veggies Are So Good

A generation or more long question that Vegans refuse to answer – if veggies are so go good, why do they keep trying to make them taste and look like meat and why does Vegan food taste so horrible?

It makes no objective sense. It’s not like there’s not a plethora of damn fine, damn tasty and satisfying vegetarian foods available around the world. So why does Vegan food – and I mean specifically Vegan Food – so often turn out to be poor and disgusting mockeries of normal, omnivore cuisine. It seems to me the answer – never provided by the Vegans themselves – would be important for the bulk of society to know.

NOTE: I, myself consume on average just under 16 oz of red meat a week (far less in Summer, a bit more in Winter), just over that in poultry and seafood, and much more than that in well-prepared vegetables. So, I’m hardly a knee-jerk carnivore. πŸ˜›

The Best Bloody Brunch

The Best Bloody Brunch Is A Bloody Mary Brunch

As might be inferred or guessed from a previous post, I’m a fan of Bloody Marys. I mean, not only are Bloody Marys and their many variants great drinks in and of themselves, especially in the late morning hours, but they’re very often the one drink that eats like a meal. πŸ˜‰

I mean, think about it. Isn’t so much easier to order a Bloody Mary as brunch than to order a drink and have to figure out what food you’re going to eat?
