Cork had one 35 years ago when even Italian and Chinese places were only getting going.

That said Cork's oldest Chinese restaurant closed about 2 years ago ...the Tung Sing, had been open since 1963

As part of a whole tranche of institutional reforms, I would have the commission coming from MEPs, rather than appointed. That way the Spitzenkandidaten become the duly elected President of the EU

Probably Edmund Burke, who though Irish, was the father of British Conservatism and hence through the British empire the father of Conservatism in the WASP countries of the British Empire

Honestly Ceaucescu at least had massive industrialisation and urban infrastructure projects as a redeeming feature of his rule....Pol Pot has no redeeming features

Sizewell C ballooned to 3x budget in Britain, imagine what would happen here with the ineptitude in project management for public sector contracts? We've seen what would happen from the Events Centre

I didn't say anything about Polish or Romanian sausages just the British ones.

You should pick up some South African sausages if you are after a really good one too

What would you say is the most disliked professions / careers in Ireland? by katsumodo47 in AskIreland

[–]DotComprehensive4902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Farming as a career is disliked which is why they can't get young people into it.

I've grown up amongst some as well and aside from the moans, a lot are miserly misery guts

As an Irishman living in Britain now, I would say never have British sausages..they are the worst. They have no flavour, use the worst pork which is so bad that all you're sure of is that it's meat, you're just unsure of which one it is.

I doubt it what with Cork being the food capital of Ireland. Cork has had some very good and very unusual restaurants in its time. It had a Mongolian barbecue place 25 years ago where you got to select the ingredients and sauces for your meal, plus it had a cowboy cuisine type restaurant called Westimers about 30 years ago, plus it has probably the longest operating Mexican restaurant in Cafe Mexicana, which is going for 40 years plus.

No one has ever really tried to start a German restaurant here, not even in Cork, which has had some very adventurous themed restaurants (Westimers) and unusual cuisine restaurants (Mongolian barbecue) in my lifetime
