Irish stuff

PhysiologyRocks

Which things do you consider to be typically "Irish".

Any traditions, foods, games (other than the obvious, but include the obvious too if you so wish), conversation pieces, list them here. Oh and say whether or not you like these things.

I don't mean Irish as in an outsider's perception of Ireland. Just real, Irish stuff.

The Pub - Although the style, format and location of pubs in Ireland is very similar to that in England, both have very different and unique atmospheres. It's hard to say exactly what it is but I think Irish pubs are more relaxed.

I think red lemonade is uniquely Irish also!

How about real Irish butter, none of this "unsalted crap". We're talking Kerrygold here, and we still love it even if we have forgotten to take it out of the fridge and it rips up our bread when we're trying to spread it.

Or this cool temperate oceanic climate of ours? We all love it when it's fierce close outside, because it's the closest thing we have to a bit of warmth.

In All Fairness

Gone now, but having a law like Holy hour just so it can be ignored.

"Ah Jaysus lads, will ye look at the time, are ye trying to get me arrested. Git in. Git in."
