There is a lot of ignorance or misinformation being displayed here.

The quote is (Oscar Wilde, I think) "The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable).

There is an Irish song similar to the one cited above, but the one you want is
"Hurrah for the scarlet and the blue
Helmets glistening in the sun
I've ta'en the good King's shilling
And I'm off tomorrow morn".

I joined in with it earlier tonight......
