Well that’s a new one. Looks delicious. I’m a big Cadbury fan.

They still have those where I live I think. Chocolate shavings on top?

I wonder if working conditions have improved recently after this. LOL.

That’s why they’re worth that much. You can’t hoard that much wealth and have empathy. They’re mutually exclusive.

They sound like animals. Glad to see justice being done here.

The lad in the picture is Ian Paisley. He was a prominent unionist back in the day. (Unionist being someone in favour of maintaining the six counties in Northern Ireland being part of the UK)

From the wiki page:

Ulster Says No was the name and slogan of a unionist mass protest campaign against the provisions of the 1985 Anglo-Irish Agreement which gave the government of the Republic of Ireland an advisory role in the governance of Northern Ireland.

Page here if you want some more reading.

As I recall (and I was young at the time so this may be wrong) it got rolled out for various other stuff.

Catchy slogan in fairness.

Fear not…Brown soda bread is big here. Definitely my most consumed bread.

I was just about to link that video. He does put forward a convincing thesis in fairness to him.

All these years later I can still hear his voice saying it.

I believe Americans serve it on Paddy’s day and / or is seen as a stereotypically Irish meal over there. I do recall being asked over there if I ate it regularly.

As I said in another comment there my oul boy did actually really like it as a meal but I think it’s more a misunderstanding though it does have some weird historical roots.

Others have given you solid answers on why the chicken and watermelon thing was really stupid so I’ll try to answer from the Irish perspective on the second part of your question:

You can serve me corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick’s day as long as you’re not being a dick about it. I’d probably consider it a nice effort actually if I happened to be abroad on the day.

My dad used to love corned beef, cabbage and potatoes with parsley sauce. It’s a grand meal but not my thing.

If you were a unionist who served it to me in a leprechaun outfit I’d be inclined to tell you where to go though.

Edit: I hope this answers your question. It’s a good question and the answer is nuanced so if I can offer you more perspective let me know, I’d be happy to help.
