Perhaps, in our modern society, we just don't have the hours it takes to boil food to an inorganic state.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
But surely Irish bar food would involve mainly sausages and crisps, as all good and proper bar food should.

No kidding. No matter how many times I have made corned beef and cabbage and carrots, it's NEVER turned grey.
My dad can do it! And as a bonus, the smell lasts for weeks!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just try and avoid cabbage (easy enough in Jamaican food) and corned beef (less so, but we had a low sodium household).

Right? Not quite the picture I had in my head from the books, but that's quite all right.
I blame James McAvoy for the wrong thoughts I'm having.

Mmm. Your thoughts are never wrong, shrift, except for the ones that keep you in Michigan.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have three words for you-
Irish Soda Bread.
A wedge lightly toasted with butter....heaven.

What is Irish food?
It's like regular food, only subtract the edibility.
Seriously, lots of stews, porridges, puddings, and the like. And soda bread, usually paired with some overboiled meat and potatoes or cabbage.

True. Very good soda bread can be lovely. But it sadly does not make up for every other dish in the pantheon.
