    Do you actually know what semantics means?

    Anyway, I don't get why this is a good news story? What difference does it make?

    Its not good news,its great news!! the humble blaa that all us Waterfordonians have eaten for generations is finally getting recognised internationally..we should actually have a national blaa day for this its that important ;)

    The blaa has become a significant culinary commodity in Waterford, in the same way that Parma ham and Parmesan cheese in Italy. This ruling means that Waterford's bakers won't have to worry about blaas appearing all over ireland. They are the only people who will be able to make blaas now.

    It's good news for many reasons, that being the obvious one...but the fact that the blaa has been internationally recognised is a great boost too.

    the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. The two main areas are logical semantics, concerned with matters such as sense and reference and presupposition and implication, andlexical semantics, concerned with the analysis of word meanings and relations between them.

    Yes I do actually, I presumed you were arguing whether this story could be construed as just a newspaper article or a piece of good news, or you were just plain cranky there is another answer I suppose but boards rules prevents me from pointing it out.

    Has to be Blaa Boy down near the Mercy school, absolutely divine and Michael will fill it with ham/cheese etc for a lovely snack. I never got the love for Hickeys bread or blaas to be honest, a bit thrown together for my taste.

    I'd love one now too. A nice fluffy soft one, but I'd cut it open and grill the inside for just under a minute, have it crispy but still soft, then the butter would melt on it, nice wedge of red cheddar and some ham... Jaysus, I'm starting to sound like the food version of 50 Shades of Grey.

    Don't know whether I'm hungry or horny now :pac::pac::pac:

    That's what i called them when i first came to Waterford. I reckon you need to be from Waterford to truly get the fuss. Most of the time they're too floury for my liking.

    I've noticed that the Blaa has been making an appearance in Dublin restaurants recently.

    One place toasts them as part of a lunchtime sandwich effort, another was using a 'Waterford Blaa Bap' as a burger bun.

    Never had one, don't particularly like overly floury baps, so sounds like I mightn't like these either?

    Are they significantly different to the sort of baps they have in Belfast, imaginatively titled Belfast Baps. At first glance the belfast bap looks lack a blaa with a slightly darker or burnt top.....which is the part I like least in the Belfast bap.

    Intrigued.

    They are mainly different in that there are no preservatives added so its an early morning eat or they are stale, a kinda one shot job, no 7 day shelf life.
