thinking of it that way, the French munching down dodos on Mauritius would also count

Isn't this a misconception, and it was actually the animals introduced to the island (swine & cats iirc) that did for the dodo? Apparently they weren't very tasty.

the restaurant I linked to in the latest revive has duck fajitas which tbh sound amazing

xp you're right about extinction from what I've heard. but apparently our taxidermy models of the dodo (like in the Natural History Museum in London, and in the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution in Paris) aren't known to be accurate b/c all that made it back on the boats were skeletons, b/c the hungry French scientists ate their meat. so we don't know how the birds carried themselves, since we never got muscled birds.

I can't believe I spent a good part of my childhood thinking that canned pitted + sliced olives were the most gourmet delicacy ever.

That said, apart from the inferior olives, that looks tasty.

I would too and really it's the name that rankles.

the local "irish pub" serves "irish nachos" over potato chips

Reminds me of a very similar, if probably superior, dish from the mission restaurant in san diego

PAPAS LOCO 8.50
Rosemary potatoes, grilled jalapeños, black beans, cheese, avocado slice and sour cream
With two scrambled eggs Add 1.75

Would still eat.

Place in noe valley does an 'Irish breakfast' which is close to a full English but has some kind of salsa. I don't think that's meant to be the Irish bit though.

i had "breakfast enchiladas" (chicken enchiladas w/ eggs and black beans on the side) yesterday and although i didn't eat most of the tortillas or beans, it was quite good.
