Some Irish allied with the Vikings but this alliance was defeated by the Irish

Figured it out lads, giving up the oul caife for Lent. Already had 2 cups today before I made the decision so I've cheated a bit already but in return I'll honour it for Paddy's Day as well which many people use as a cheat day

You mean after Harald III was defeated at Stamford Bridge in 1066? No, that was basically the event that ended the viking age.

We invented Gundam many centuries before Japan had ever heard of it

Also, for expansion in general, refer to this map.

and obviously, "norse" in this context refers to Norwegians.

I've got it
I'll give up tea

Tea isn't bad for you, what's the point?

Well I'll be taking in less caffeine, since I usually have tea when I'm tired and can't be bothered making coffee.

The point of Lent is to give up something you like to prove and strengthen your power of will. It has nothing to do with healthy living.

No user, it's perfectly normal and really what Lent is about, finding the middle ground between what's too easy and what's too hard

feel like im slowly losing my mind lads

you can get fucked teeth and brittle bones from tea i think

am i even allowed to post here

Got sick from getting massively drunk last night and that's inclining me to get away from alcohol.

yeah sure

what the fuck do i even answer when people ask about irish cuisine
all i can think of is beef, milk, and stew

I used to think bacon and cabbage was a meme but it's really delicious.
I've never had colcannon per se either, but I do enjoy both cabbage and mashed potatoes so I imagine it'd be nice. I also hear "boxty" is good but I've never had it.

The thing about Irish cuisine is its development into a refined art was disrupted because Irish society was destroyed and its people reduced to repeated genocidal famines during the centuries in which individual cultures' recipes became codified as "cuisines".

i live in ireland, so i understand why we don't really have a solidly defined cuisine, it's just that i struggle to think of anything i eat as distinctly irish.
if i wanted to talk about british cuisine i could speak about pastries, breakfasts, teas, or desserts like tarts or custards
it makes it a bit hard to comment on when asked by foreigners. even if i were to look up something simple like 'irish desserts' it would all be meme shit like whiskey in x or guinness in y. there are regional examples, fifteens are something I only really hear of here in the north, but there doesn't seem to be much of an identity there

In fairness the brits don't have a proper cuisine either.

>i live in ireland, so i understand why we don't really have a solidly defined cuisine, it's just that i struggle to think of anything i eat as distinctly irish.
As I said. International cuisines either developed from ancient traditions or emerged from the rich seeking decadent foods. Ireland lost the former when the vast majority of the population were reduced to dependence on post-colombian staples, and didn't get the chance to develop a formal cuisine for the same reason.
Modern times haven't resulted in a resurgence because of industrialisation. Not only do people not source their food locally, I doubt the skills of cooking are being transmitted from mother to daughter thanks to the twin loathing feminists and capitalists have for women working at home.

Dublin?

>It has nothing to do with healthy living.
Exactly. You can be sure that Jesus fasting in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights wasn't good for his health.

>I used to think bacon and cabbage was a meme
Why the fuck would you ever think that? Were you a really sheltered townie or something?

>The thing about Irish cuisine is its development into a refined art was disrupted
These days I think we care far more about the quality of the ingredients than what is actually made with them, which I think is a great mindset in the absence of a distinct culinary lineage.

Almost a daily occurrence at this stage.

It's time guns were made legal in this country so that us upstanding citizens have a means to protect ourselves

Quelle surprise. Shootings in Dublin are like shootings in America, they're not even newsworthy at this point desu.

Did he start the fire?

Yeah but if there were background checks none of us would pass lol

It's something that I hadn't happened to have, and never saw or heard being cooked in extended family homes. I presumed it was a plastic paddy thing. As a child I didn't really go to the kind of restaurants that had it.

God hates the Ivory Coast?

When you were a child the Irish dining scene was drastically different. It's only been the last 10 or so years that the culinary arts have started to diversify and develop in Ireland. This has mainly been seen through seafood.

How soon until we can repurpose daily life in America greentexts for Dublin?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Anois.

That's ok. I work for a hotel management group and that's just what I've noticed

What has the change been generally? What was it like before and what is it like now?

>be Dubliner
>get shot
Does it need to be any more complicated?

will you give your sons and daughters based gaelic names?

Probably, if I have them.

If by some miracle I have children I will have 7 sons, each named after the signatories of the Proclamation. There may arise some confusion in the household with two Thomases, but that is a necessary sacrifice

Just call one Thomas and the other Tomás. I've known of families with more confusing names.

Locally sourced foods and organics have become much more marketable to Irish consumers. Before, people considered eating out as an expensive and unnecessary luxury.
My own personal theory is that historically the Irish have valued satiation due to food scarcity but now have the taste for fancy plating they've seen on television and Instagram

Yeah lad if I have them. I'll be teaching em Irish as first language too.

>Before, people considered eating out as an expensive and unnecessary luxury.
As it should be.

Sorry about being poor

>implying that's the reason I disapprove
Everybody should be cooking their own meals at home.

You quoted both expensive and unnecessary. If you had just said unnecessary, I would've totally agreed

Something can still be considered expensive even if you have no personal shortage of money.

>Everybody should be cooking their own meals at home
Why?

Stop being so unsupportive of the economy.

To avoid acquiring a deluded sense of self-importance.

How do you get energy then if not from food?

But I need food.

I'm a VIP because I don't cook my own food?

No, "involving high cost or sacrifice" is relative by definition

Redirect your anger towards restaurateurs and their customers instead.

"High cost" doesn't sound very relative.

Either way, to avoid semantics, eating out is cost ineffective and unnecessary.

Maybe you think you are.

Lol what? High cost is one of the most relative things there are. It's not about semantics broke nigga

I don't. The people who cook for example do something I amn't very good at so it wouldn't really be very feasible to look down on them.

same honestly

Of course it's relative. Do you think a millionaire would consider a €2 coffee to be an outrage?

>eating out is cost ineffective
That depends where and what you're eating along with the ingredients of whatever you would eat at home.

>unnecessary
Eating is very fucking necessary. And if we're bringing necessity into this then so is just about everything in our society.

>Do you think a millionaire would consider a €2 coffee to be an outrage?
I don't know any millionaires, but I think I'd consider €2 for a coffee to be an outrage regardless of my income.

>Eating is very fucking necessary
Eating is, eating out is not. It's an unnecessary luxury.

>And if we're bringing necessity into this then so is just about everything in our society.
Very true. More people should live the frugal life.

Would you consider a 30 cent coffee an outrage? A rural Indian farmer would

It is not Ireland that is nordic, it is we who are celtic.

>Would you consider a 30 cent coffee an outrage?
Yes. I make my own coffee.

>coffee
An unnecessary luxury.

How much do you pay for the beans? The cost of your cups, water, kettle and any other apparatus you use in the making of the coffee should also factor in, as should the amount of labour you exert in this procedure.

I didn't buy it. I got it as a present for Christmas. I don't usually drink coffee at all. When it runs out I won't be replacing it.

> as should the amount of labour you exert in this procedure.
Why? I don't pay myself so the cost is irrelevant.

>defending eating in a restaurant
Why would anybody do this?

Obviously the time and labour you put in is relevant. Surely an economics hotshot like yourself is well aware of the concept of opportunity cost

i can afford it and im a shitty cook, whats your point

Also if you don't drink coffee much, the costs are increased even more

I meant labour in the sense of the energy you exert in creating it yourself rather than standing in a line to buy some at a counter. But now that I think on it, making coffee really wouldn't take up much more time or energy than ordering it. Although that same principle does apply back to food when cooking your own dinner would take more energy than sitting at a table and placing your order.

>Obviously the time and labour you put in is relevant
Not really. It's not time that otherwise would have been used productively, which is a flaw inherent to the Opportunity Cost model when employed on an individual level.

How? Other than the coffee itself, I would already own all the other utensils required to make a cup of coffee anyway.

I just don't understand the problem with it. It's not like I eat out often myself, but if I'm in town for a day of shopping or whatever then I don't see the problem with stopping in a restaurant for lunch instead of waiting a few more hours or however long it takes me to finish what I was doing.

>I don't see the problem with stopping in a restaurant for lunch instead of waiting a few more hours or however long it takes me to finish what I was doing.
But think of the savings!

Did the martyrs of 1916 really die so that we could eat in restaurants rather than counter the anglo menace?
