mates, i went to this 'irish pub' yesterday called mulligan, here in my town. it's an excellent pub, great beers, great place. anyway, i usually go there only to drink as it is a little expensive but i was hungry so i asked for a thing called a 'boxty', and fuck me it was delicious. i was told it is quite traditional in ireland, is it true? i mean, is it something people eat all the time over there? i'm sure it's there with the most delicious things i've ever tasted. a shame it was a little expensive so i cannot be going there every week

anyway, i'm really starting to think about going to ireland for a couple of days in september. i'll be in london for over a week and in europe for around a month, so don't see a reason why not tasting a couple of guinness where they come from

It is an old old Oirish dish. But most Mick's eat Japanese, Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai or "American" (burgers, pizza etc) food.

For me it's Jap or Indian. Yum fucking yum.
