I'd heard the slander about Irish food but when I visited I had beef and Guinness pies, spiced stuffed mushrooms and herbaceous handmade brats.

That’s just something they serve there in the Irish themed pubs for the tourists.

not in my experience, those were fairly common menu items in restaurants.

besides, that was far from an exhaustive list of the good food in Ireland.

also, irish themed pubs?

in Ireland?

you mean "pubs"?

Sorry, I should have added a /joke or something on the end.

There was/is a proliferation of Irish themed pubs in other countries that give a false impression of what pubs in Ireland are like, as well as some actual Irish pubs in very touristy areas doing the same. The standard explanation being “it’s just for the tourists”.

oh, haha, sorry, of course.

I should better keep context in mind.

instead, I assumed you were an american doofing around.
