Was up in Belfast during the week and this was the phrase used in the menu, wonder how many people it had to go through to be approved?

  2. Read the menu 3 times before I got what you were referring to, hungry af now

  3. I think it’s great you think a person designed this. More than likely an AI generated template.

  6. Smear Nutella all over the walls of that hotel…

  15. They need to rename the BBQ Chicken Pizza to “The Dirty Protest”.

  16. The only thing that could make it worse would be if it said could you eat a chicken supper?

    There’s no way that’s accidental.

  20. Have to know where this is. I respect the humour

  21. Kind of disappointed they didnt go all in and work the word “supper” into the description of one of the chicken dishes.

  23. now i think it’s probably safe to say this is not intentional and was just something thrown together

    i could be wrong but i don’t think someone actually said wouldn’t it be funny if we put on our menu a sentence that made fun of the Irish Republican Prisoners who died on Hunger Strike

    so yea odds are whoever made this had no clue about the 1981 Hunger Strike

  24. Took me a while, not much appetite for ” hunger strikes ” any more

  25. An ironically appropriate response would be the hotel being stricken off from suppliers.

    As a kid 35 years ago, there wasn’t even the semblance of international tourism in Belfast. The transformation post GFA is almost unimaginable and I find it beautifully brilliant that people across the world actually want to come here.

    However there has also been a growth of a sort of conflict tourism where the troubles are treated like say a Game of Thrones tour. Something similar happened for German concentration camps going back decades. With it being promoted as quasi-entertainment to visit sites of genocide.

    Not that Northern Ireland can ever compare with WW2’s atrocities, but we (as in hotels etc) shouldn’t be leaning into the troubles as exciting entertainment. Honestly I’m deeply conflicted about Titanic since we do treat it as purely enthralling entertainment despite it representing a horrendous maritime disaster with 1,500 lives lost. Consider the context of the troubles, I desperately hope that in 50 years time it isn’t treated like the Titanic with rides showing animatronics of hunger strikes in the Maze, though it would be hilarious if the robots kept reaching behind for more pigment to paint the dirty protest.

  27. I’m from Belfast and any time I’m passing a Hotel Chocolat shop and see them selling a box of sweets called a “H Box” it makes me laugh

  32. How come every motherfucker has to put red onions as a base ingredient on BBQ chicken pizza?!?! It’s bullshit. most people don’t want it that I know, and when you ask them to leave it off there is a good chance they fuck up and you have crunchy onions on the pizza when you get it.

  33. Carbonara sounds horrible, they could have called it anything else.

  35. “chicken breast patty”

    That’s not how a chicken burger works

  36. Reminds me of the place that had the date of the battle of Boyne as their WiFi password. 

    It really stinks of “peaked in school” along with the casual sectarianism. 

  38. The Maze Hotel is fantastic. They have one of the best escape rooms in Europe. They’re not great at supplying fresh towels, but the food is good and they have really interesting post-modern decor.
