Today started with a full Irish breakfast. This included fried egg, toast, soda bread, tomato, sausage, ham (they call it bacon, but it’s really ham), and black and white puddings. I’ve noticed that when people in this part of the world say ‘pudding’ they mean something mixed with oatmeal and cooked in the oven. I only ate about half. I discovered that I DO NOT like fried egg yolks, Irish sausage, or the black pudding. It tasted ok, but I’m pretty sure it was a sort of blood pudding because it made me tummy all funny.
I didn’t do very much exciting today, mostly errands and shopping in town. The one note of interest was probably the candy shop. I stopped in at an old-fashioned candy store, I’m pretty sure the till was older than both my parent’s ages combined. The candy might have been just as old. But it was delicious. I bought some candies, only to discover that while a lot of them looked gummy and delicious, they were mostly hard candies. I didn’t really feel like eating hard candies so I threw most of them out. Maybe tomorrow will be a little more exciting.
