Good Irish cookbooks

[Denny]

I don't generally care for second hand food....is that one o' those Merkin things?

Maybe it's sort of like when you belch and say, "Man. That tasted almost as good going down as it did coming up."

yeah! redneck humor!

[Nanohedron]

Why, thank you. I hope it was convincing; I do admit I like to think of myself as a man of almost bewilderingly broad range.

[Denny]

versatility is handy, innit?

lets ya drink with everyone!

[Nanohedron]

It doesn't always work. But, hey. Easy come, easy go.

Thanks for that list Davy, I appreciate it. I did think there was something fishy with that Betty O'Crockers book and some others. I just thought that some of them had weird senses of humor.

Donning my flame retardant suit after placing my tongue firmly in cheek:

It is said that the two shortest books in most libraries are "Great Chefs of Ireland" and "200 Years of German Humor."

"Cooking Gourmet Dishes With Tofu" and "400 years of Lutheran Cuisine and Humour."

With regard to Lutheran cuisine, I'm with Garrison Keillor in that I really don't want a green bean casserole with Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. Nor do I want jello salad. Regardless of my polite suggestions, my wife thinks that both of these dishes are elegant cuisine suitable for serving to our house guests.

I don't see why not as long as the green beans have French's fried onions on top, that makes 'em classy. I prefer agar agar for dessert as you can take the left-overs home and grow stuff.

That is an outrageous misrepresentation. The Germans did not even attempt humour until well into the 20th century.

Weren't the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in England before the 20th century? That's a fairly long joke.

It has always been considered acceptable to play pranks while abroad.

[Walden]

He has a very dry sense of humor, and it helps to be familiar with it.

Sometimes it's been a hindrance to me. I had a fellow chiffer for a visit once, in person, and he allowed he could never tell when I was being serious or not. He said I get this "Grandpa voice" and that it sounds like I'm telling stories even when I'm not.
