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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There's a very British chip shop by me that has curry on the menu. I wouldn't call it Indian. (especially considering they put the curry on top of the chips).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
In Ireland most of the food I ate was bland. I put salt on things - which I never do here. Arond here most of the Irish pub food is tasty - but it is very meat and potato heavyAnd if y'all paid attentio to Alton - you would know that cabbabge does not have to smell like feet. But I'll just sit in the corner with Kat and eat cabbage. -- and cook your corned beeef in apple juice/cider - balances the salt quite nicely.
