Mick, When did you ever see Soda,Wheaten or Potato Farls south of Dundalk, likewise Grits and some other southern US food was alien to the northern US States. So once again when referring to Corn Beef and Cabbage keep it south of a line from Dundalk to Sligo. I remember reading the great newspaper man Con Houlihan berating people from the US for referring to the "lovely Soda Bread they had in Ireland", the bould Con in his ignorance excluded the North were Soda bread is consumed every day. Are you reading me Guest. Ard Mhacha.
