If I think of that kind of thing, I think of apple tart or apple crumble, both big favourites in my house (not with me personally, not a fan, but 99% Irish people disagree). So something like this?https://www.rte.ie/lifestyle/recipes/2016/1110/830148-molly-makes-apple-crumble/

muchas gracias y'all <3
i split the difference between tart & crumble with apple crumb bars and almond custard cream on the side
we're swimming in wonderfully sour little apples right now (it's fall, bears hongry, people gotta strip their fruit trees) so that was no problem but of course the rest devolved into the usual fiasco of "what there's no flour" "but i thought we had oats!" "where's the butter, okay, guess i'll use that gallon jug of coconut oil we bought at the start of the pandemic" etc. and ended up with an almond flour/puffed millet (why do we even have puffed millet) aberration.
but he was delighted and loved it and has implored me to make it again sometime! so i'm gonna chalk that up as another win for ireland, why not 🎉🇮🇪🎉

https://www.thephoenix.ie/article/israel-bloody-sunday-bono/
This story about the Israel propaganda machine totally misunderstanding how Bono is regarded at home is the closest to 'light relief' I've experienced in the escalating and unreal seeming (though unfortunately real) horrors unfolding on every tiny little screen that beeps and buzzes.
Bono looked emotional when dedicating U2 song ‘Pride’ to the victims of the massacre by Hamas at a music festival in Israel near the border with Gaza a fortnight ago. The IDF spin doctors must have assumed that getting a sympathetic Bono apparently on their side gave them an opening to a normally hostile audience in Ireland. Thus, the official IDF social media account shared a video of his comments before tweeting: “This is Israel’s Bloody Sunday.”

I know, the Bono thing was really badly researched. Have they missed the whole Zombie discourse?!

I missed the Zombie thing because I despise rugby, but presume it's bad because it's another band with no lived experience of The Troubles expressing similar unhelpful bulshit to what the grandstanding moron Bongo frequently did on stage.

popular in blackrock
Iirc it was about the both sidesing of the Troubles when the lyrics literally reference the tanks of the British army, as though the two were equivalently resourced and supported institutionally…but plax might remember better

But yeah I guess I’m referring to partitionist thinking. I’m not sure I ever saw the “glorious” 7th & its effects on Irish in the north portrayed in something mainstream until Derry Girls did it. Like hey, the Irish in the north literally flee the place to avoid the supremacism, you’d think that might be a conversation point at some stage?!

Glorious 12th. I don’t know why I said 7th, except my cat bunted my phone as he wants to sit on my lap but I have coffee.

I've never had any idea what Zombie, mainly because I've never been able to listen to more than three seconds of it, so I didn't realize it mentioned 1916.
