The other thing I'm told is amazing in Ireland are dairy products in general and butter on brown bread at breakfast time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Harp I think of as decidely Irish.
Harp. Stays sharp till the bottom of the glass.
It doesn't ping me as Irish, mostly because I've never been there and it was all over London. It didn't feel importy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
How about smoked salmon?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Whuhuh? I mean, I know people are surprised that curry ∈ Jamaican food, but this takes the cake.
The British Isles adopted curry. I've had excellent curried chicken in an Irish pub.

I was gonna say, Harp is as Irish as Guinness. In fact the name and the logo are quintessentially Irish (the harp shows up seals at the Irish embassies around the world).
edited to correct the link.

Yeah, along with a fair amount of Indian food. One of my favourite places to get curry in Santa Monica is the British restaurant near the boardwalk. But I wouldn't call any of it British.

I never picked up on that from a British POV.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Guinness really does taste better the closer you get to St. James Gate. Sweets are good. Irish food is generally better than English food, which is certainly damning with faint praise.
