They’ve been doing “specials” for different countries during the Rugby World Cup at the canteen, this is their take on the Irish. I haven’t tried it.

    Edit : really curious about the kidney beans and hummus I have to admit

  2. Bacon, black pudding, kidney beans and hummus?

    No. No I don’t think I’d want that.

  3. Baffled by the ingredients. But it really encapsulated the Irish sadness at the heart of Irish culture. So tragic looking. I thought the French put effort into their presentation.

  6. I’m amazed how the post has already been up almost 15 minutes and no one has yet commented/lost their minds over the fact that they show the outline of the Republic than the full island.

    Which, in this context (the rugby world cup) doesn’t make too much sense.

  8. In case you’re interested, [this was “the New Zealander”](https://reddit.com/r/newzealand/s/bhQY9EfWqq)

    And [this was “the English”](https://reddit.com/r/CasualUK/s/EIwHyQFpDo)

    Unfortunately I missed the Wales one and forgot to take a picture of the Japanese one.
    The Japanese one was actually ok, it was a sweet and sour BBQ chicken toasted sandwich. Not really Japanese but it tasted good.

    Edit – the Japanese one was sweet and sour, not sweat and sour. Though that’d make an interesting taste combo!

  10. I’m now wondering if there should’ve been a comma after kidneys… “black pudding, bacon, kidneys, beans, hummus”

  12. Where’s the cabbage?! We demand cabbage on Craggy island!

  13. Why did they overcomplicate it.

    All it takes to make an authentic Irish sandwich is a thick slice of ham between two heavily buttered slices of bread. Serve with cheese and onion crisps, and a sprig of parsley if you’re feeling fancy.

  16. Black pudding and bacon are both things I’d put on a breakfast roll if they were available but I don’t think I’d enjoy either of the other two ingredients being involved.

  17. I initially though there was a comma between kidneys and beans and was extremely concerned.

  19. We should be summoning the French ambassador to ask him/her to explain this.

  21. The French have some pretty dodgy food themselves, brains, sweetbreads, sheep’s testicles, veal head, tripe (bovine stomach), frog legs, blood sausage and so on.

  22. Hummus ? 2 fried eggs like plastic joke shop ones and you’re good

  25. You are in the perfect position to bring the french the wonderful chicken roll

  26. I’d say Irish people back in the 80s wouldn’t even know how to pronounce hummus. That’s a new food over here, definitely not something that would go in a signature Irish sambo

  28. Was it actually black pudding or boudin?

    I do miss a bit of boudin baked in apple compote.

  32. Is this payback for whatever they think we’ve done to their cuisine? Like Jambons for example.

  34. If they really wanted it to be authentic they would slap another €2 to the price.

  35. The cheek of “à l’unité” but not having NI attached

  37. So close then it just took a wild fucking turn in the wrong direction.
