Greetings from Cushendun, Ireland!

[Professor S]

Don't have much time, but I wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone. I#me having a smashing holiday here in the British Isles and everyone except for one drunken Catholic in NI has been wonderful to us.

List of what I've eaten so far:

Haggis w/ Neeps and Tatties (awesome)
Cumberland Sausage (double awesome)
Cullen Skink (awesome)
Scottish Oysters (double awesome)
Scottish Crab Cake (they have no idea how to make a proper crab cake. There was egg in it)
Beef and Ale Pie (awesome)
Fish and Chips at 5 locations (didn't like any of them, too much batter IMO)
Smoked Haddock (awesome)
Full Irish Breakfast (awesome but it's killing me)
Scones (4 kinds, all disappointing. My local bakery makes them better, honestly)
Mince with Carrots and Tatties at a farm (great country fare, taste of the earth)
Pork Pie (nothing like Beef pie. Served cold and is a bit unsettling at first, but I grew to like it)
Prawn and Mayanaise/Salad twice (ok, but Brits use waaayyy too much mayo. Made me feel sick)

Everything I haven't liked I've tried at least twice to give it a fair shake, but I have to say I really like the traditional food here. I suppose it's in my blood.

Pictures and stories to come early next week, and there are a lot of both!
