    I'm very Irish (mother pure(ish) and father about half). I have a Celtic knot tattoo and I was raised on boiled dinner & corned beef.

    Also I have the tolerance of men twice my size. My liver is a champ LOL :drinker: (all those extra calories are a big part of the reason why I'm here)

    Great Grandparents on Mom's side form County Mayo. I learned a few Irish step dances as a kid,
    and know a few bar toons . . . 8)

    boiled dinner & corned beef.

    Ewwww gross!!! I'm not even THAT Irish :noway:

    Looks like there's very few actual cailiní here (Bar you dancer) so Northern Irish, American Irish and Other Irish will do nicely!!! I shall now memorise all your usernames and 'clink' to any successes you have because 'we here' (I'm doing that thing where I point at my eyes, then point at your eyes, like we are actually 'here', get me?)

    Irish Mother (Tyrone-Monaghan), Irish Father Dublin-Cork) and I live in Northern Ireland (Carrickfergus) - I reckon that makes me Irish despite being brought up in England!

    Half Irish (American) and half Italian... quite the combination.
    And yes, I can drink some men under the table, LOL. :drinker:

    boiled dinner & corned beef.

    Ewwww gross!!! I'm not even THAT Irish :noway:

    :laugh: I've refined my grandmother's corned beef recipe and my friends all love it. I use Guinness, onions, garlic and carrots (I'm so over the fact that it's not traditional because apparently it's just an Irish-American tradition anyways). I serve it with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and I steam my cabbage and serve it on the side. Trust me I've converted many non-believers.

    I haven't really tried to modern up boiled dinner... that's a serious undertaking!

    Oh there's loads of us! Feeling a bit overwhelmed now, kind of insignificant - nearly preferred feeling let down :grumble:

    I don't even want to know what boiled dinner is! Unless it's stew? Are you just talking about a stew?

    LOL @ fififox, well, we may not be able to escape the recession but at least we'll be able to sit and ***** about it in size 10s eh :drinker:

    Linda - freckles? Wow, it's getting serious now. I'll take your freckles and raise you milk bottle see-through skin!

    I'm not originally from Ireland, but I've been living here for 14 years now, I like it here. I'd love some more people who live in Ireland on my friend list, it would be nice to compare diaries and support each other. :flowerforyou:

    Well my grandmother is Irish as well as my 100 cousins, aunts and uncles that are on her side lol :laugh: there is loads of us! Haha.

    Yet strangely out of all of them i'm the only one that has inherited my great-grandmothers red hair :blushing: (ie genes lol not actual) which is the envy of most of my family :happy:
