Yes, I'm alive.....
I went to Galway yesterday, to the Galway food and wine show...Big adventure to Salthill all by myself...
Full of poncy ponces, especially the french dude hawking wine...With his ridiculously teensy glasses, and his poncy suit...
And everyone who wasn't a ponce was just there to quaff as much free wine as they could (they were out of luck at the Olio & Farina stand, lol, they were frigging charging for their tasting!)
But it was quite fun, actually.
I liked the part in the cafe when a guy was told there was no pork on, and he replied "What, no bacon?" to be told, erm, no. Then he paused and said, "Okay, so can I have ham then?" to be told, erm, no, ham's pork too, dude....
And the pissed guy at the cooking demo, who hogged all the samples...Even to the point of excluding his wife...lol..
And the drunk old lady was quite funny too, she seemed to be everywhere! And leaning over asking me questions in whispers everybody could hear, lol. "What's this?!?" (pointing at the chorizo) "But I thought we weren't to eat any sausages!" (spitting it back into the bowl) "Oh, it's just Irish pork! Oh that's okay then!" (picking it back out of the bowl, putting it back in her mouth, then deciding she just didn't like it and putting it back in the bowl)....
Irish peoples are mad....
And no, we can't eat any pork. Because some company that makes feed for animals decided it didn't want to follow rules set out in 1979 cuz it didn't feel like it. So now lots of people are really pissed off, and rightly so.
Anyway, gotta go tidy,
Bye for now,
