Irish people in ED?

[SeanMacGabhann]

before I read your post in the burger thread, I should reply to this one Louisa as we agree 100%

Did you turn up on Friday to the drinks?

[Louisa]

No sean I didnt, when hubby returned home we sat in the garden and listened to music. I did ask but he looked a little fragile lol... I am determined to come to the next one, with or without him, though I did get a little toasted on Friday after my early afternoon wine tasting session hehe... Did you have a good evening?

[SeanMacGabhann]

It was quite a biggie - lots of people turned up with several first-timers

We were very tardy in leaving however..... :-$

[Keef]

Tayto cheese and onion used to be nice, but not so good as KP.... Alas you don't really se them either these days.

[wee quinnie]

Sean, are you still looking for Tayto spring onion flavour? You can get them here

http://www.tayto.com/shop/index.php?cPath=3&main_page=index

By the way, I have noticed people selling them on ebay!!

[spadetownboy]

its page 2 you want to be looking tayto pickled onion mmmmmmmmmmm

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ah thanks wee quinnie. . Im undecided about ordering them. Nostalgia aint what it used to be. Plus. . Trying to kick the crisp habit. Im not getting any smaller. .

spring onion however = well lush

pickled onion = the opposite of that !

[Narnia]

On a different subject does anyone remember Neil Toibin? We used to spend many a time on our visits home listening to a couple of LP's my Dad had of performances of his. He was/is a great story teller/comic. Where can I buy anything of his? Anyone know? Does anyone remember the one about Noah's Ark and the Americans?

As a proper crisp yes, but Monster Munch.... Come on!

[Huguenot]

Hmmm, best we keep you guys in ED, by all accounts you're a bit of a liability when you slip the leash

What a week... :D

[Keith]

Declan go to the Irish shop they have just what you need, it'll bring back the memories of what real crisps taste like.

[hayesgrover]

Wow, I never knew there were two types of Tayto crisp. Are the ones in the shop the "free state" or the other version? How interesting.

[spadetownboy]

think you,ll find the other version are the ones made in tayto castle,tandragee,norn iron the original and still the best.and i beg anyone to differ.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Val's stock the "freestate" Tayto (most of the time anyway)

I should also add that having advised people they stock Clonakilty black & white puddings, I have noted lately that stocks are very occasional

I'm Irish and living in east Dulwich I'd love to meet some new Irish people living in east Dulwich.anyone keen? :)

[Mick Mac]

There aren't any new Irish people, just some quite old ones.

Personally I'm not allowed out very often, so cant offer my services unfortunately.

If you had asked me 20 years ago.....

[El Pibe]

I'm new irish and so is my wife, actually no she's old irish too.

[red devil]

Plenty of Irish in The Castle on Sat watching the ruffian's hockey...

[Alan Medic]

Well done Scrnba 14 for finding this thread after 7 years. Given it's been so long most of the people who posted here in the past are well ........probably past it.

[SidW]

redrouge your comment made me laugh as Mrs Doyle is also like family in Waterford! lol

Gallons of tea, red lemonade and soda bread......the Irish hospitality is perfectly amazing, you always feel welcome :) Del x

[Scrnba14]

Ah that's a shame! X

[Alan Medic]

I've put a thread in the For Sale Section for an epic book of 3 volumes my brother wrote called The History of Irish Tennis. It's likely to appeal to people brought up anywhere in Ireland who had an interest in tennis. As threads seem to sink in that section rapidly I'm posting here. There a link to the website if you are interested.

[StraferJack]

Cheers Alan. I'll have a gander at that

[Mick Mac]

Are you winding us up AM. 3 volumes you say?
