... disagree, and without a word of rebuttal, she's off to the corner store to pick up some pudding.<br><br>Lonely Planet describes black and white pudding as being 'like meatloaf, but sausage shaped, cut into discs and fried'. Like many LP descriptions, it is woefully inadequate, for a food that is as integral to Irish cuisine as potatoes and Guinness. Black and white sausage is two sausages, often sold as a pair. The white pudding is mainly made up of pork meat and oats ...

... British mind you, so I'm inclined to think option B was more likely. <br><br>I chuckled to myself as I spotted a girl, about 7 or 8, sitting across from me. She was half-finished her dinner, and was inspecting the chocolate mousse with an expression that bordered between confused and disgusted. She took a couple curious bites, then pushed it away.<br><br>The philosophy "if you set your ...

... man in the room has to come give you a birthday kiss on the cheek! It was so embarassing, but I have the interesting tale of being kissed my about 15-20 men old enough to be my grandfather. ha Anyways on my birthday I went to classes and David gave me a pretty gold chain because I had broken one my necklaces when I was over here. Then after class the girls helped me get ready and David took me out for a nice supper. It was good to eat ...

... where many ancient chieftains are buried, then went over to the shore of the lake.<br><br>Autumn is slowly making its way into Ireland. The leaves are beginning to turn, some are falling, and the daylight hours are becoming shorter. The heather that just a week ago was bright is now fading into dullness. Still, the grass is green, and the country remains beautiful.<br><br>We left Glendalough via the Braveheart Drive which is also St. Kevin&#8217;s Way and traveled about an hour to ...

... and plates. Nothing, in Ireland was served in/on paper or plastic. <br>We took our drinks on our stroll down to the water's edge. We found the water to be very cold. Everyone in swimming had a wet suit on, even the children. Two vans with surfing schools advertised on the side had surfboards and wet suits to rent. They also offered surfing lessons. Inch Beach was a very popular place for the locals. We enjoyed our short stop there.

... own looking at the carvings. We thought the return trip would be easier since we had come the same way, but it was another hour back to town. When we returned, we dropped the car off at the B&amp;B and walked into town with our umbrella. Our next stop was to Kilkenny Castle which was on the opposite side of town from where we were staying. On the way through town we stopped at a The Marble City Bar to grab some lunch and have ...

... were too worn out from the night before and we ended up watching a movie and falling asleep. In the morning we headed off on a Paddywagon tour to Kilkenny and Glendalough. The tour guide was ok, he was very anti-british and his ranting was a little overwhelming but the sites made up for it. Glendalough was absolutly beautiful! I'll post some pictures soon. It was a monastary in the 12th century I believe and now it is a cemetary. The weather was ...

... reserve in the town where we could stretch our legs and eat, but found none. This was to be a recurring issue for us over the next two weeks, with such things seemingly not existing in the whole of the Republic of Ireland (though we found Northern Ireland was far better equipped). In desperation we ended up eating in the carpark of a Gaelic Athletic Association sports ground and, with only Waterford Crystal as the main attraction, which Nanna had ...

... minute), it was also curved. Talk about a disorienting effect! Throw in the psychedelic blue carpet they put in the hall and you have a visual guaranteed to make one nauseous. <br><br>O'Laughlin's also has a restaurant and pub on the first floor of the building. We had dinner there. They served a lot of food for the price. The food we had turned out to be a pretty good deal. Plus, if you eat there, they can just add it to the cost of your room. <br><br ...
