Hi,

Here you go Martin,

what more diversion can a man desire?
Than to court a girl by a neat turf fire,
a Kerry pippin and the crack and crunch
And on the table a jug of punch
Too ra loo ra loo........

I reckon it's an apple. (like a Cox's Orange Pippin) I assume tere's one called a Kerry Pippin. In answer to the earlier question we do grow apples in Ireland.
