When cooked in a frying pan with oil, they make a banging noise

COOL! Yes, we do have bangers and mash for real in Ireland, and in England they have it as well, and Scotland, and Wales. I am glad this is just about potatos and sausages, when I saw me name on the thread list I got worried for a minute and thought I had gone missing unbeknownst to meself.





P.S. We do not have roasted leprechauns for tea, though we do have bacon and cabbage, but its not the same really is it? :yh_shamrk :yh_shamrk

P.S. For tea I had stuffed steak, with roasted potato, mushroom, and salad with a pepper sauce. Yum! :-6

okay, I'm really not trying to be crude, but bangers and faggots are sausages over in UK...Do I have that right??

oh boy!! I need to learn all of this before I come to Ireland...not to insult you!!

I'm sorry...us Americans and Baseball, Hotdogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet!!:p

I have kissed the stone, and highly recommend it! Immediately, I found myself more articulate, loquacious and downright GIDDY as words tripped off my tongue!

Hanging upside down on the top of an open tower was a kick, too!

Of course it's not! Roast leprechaun tastes nothing like bacon and cabbage! :wah:

No, I don't need to I am Irish, anyway its in cork, and I am not going to cork just to kiss a stone! :wah:

Damn Straight, perhaps I should write an FG guide to Ireland for those intending to come to our green, teddy bear shaped island in the North Atlantic.

P.S. We have apple pies, baseball hats (even though we don't play), and we have hot dogs, (but they are probably not like they are at the baseball game), but we don't have chevrolets or levees, which is a shame because I always wanted to "drive my Chevy to the Levee", as somehow driving my "Datsun to the Dam" doesn't sound as good does it?

I think thats the blood rushing to your head, not the power of the celts somehow. How they ever convinced anyone to do that, I dunno, well it does prove that we DO have the gift of the gab, unfortunatly we use it to make foreigners kiss rocks??? :wah:

+++++++++++++++++++++++ It's because, deep down inside, we all LONG to be Irish and the kissy-rocky thing is such a part of your history that we do it.

You might consider getting a part-time job at the castle, 'BallyBob--you know the one? The fellow who clasps ladies' legs together as they hang upside down?

Oh you mean Paddy O Flynn? Sure he'll never leave that job, thats a grand job that is. Ah sure we know, its good for people to come back across and get a reconnection with their old land, course for us, its a new land that keeps changing every ten years, but its all good! :rolleyes:
