The Just Opened London review of Nuala restaurant might have caused controversy if I didn’t like potatoes so much!
Quote: “The Irish will be pleased to see plenty of potatoes on the menu”
Will visit next month!
FIGHT!
Update:
Hiya! That’s not a review but a news post, saying the restaurant has opened. Mmmm, potatoes.

Spud a la Brexit.
SO LONG, SUCKERS!
wouldn’t it be more historically Irish if there were no potatoes?
“The Irish will be pleased to see plenty of potatoes”
They don’t get to eat them, just watch English people eat them.
Indeed. Watching Brexit Pramface stuffing her gob with chips. #getspopcorn
How many potatoes does it take to kill an Irish man?
None.
Potatoes are from Peru. How come they don’t get lump(er)ed with this stereotype?
Give me pre-occupation Irish cuisine any day: jellied blood, barley, rye, milk, venison from a fullacht fia. Nom.
Our English neighbours know surprisingly little about what unpleasantness happened in their former dominions, BBC4 is all about how great Churchill was (inventor of the concentration camp in the Boer War among other things), there isn’t a day go by when there’s not a film or a documentary on TV about how plucky little England won world war II with her inventiveness and hats at jaunty angles, fair play to them..
+1, first concentration camps were British..
+ 3,000,000 he starved to death in India

That website’s view of Sinn Féin under Adams and McGuinness:
“In 1986 a revisionist grouping got control of Sinn Féin, they went on to fracture the movement with the acceptance of Leinster House. Just over a decade later and the Provisional movement was to enter Stormont. In 2005, the Provisional IRA surrendered arms that belonged to the Irish Republican movement. Up until 1986 the object of Provisional Sinn Féin was the defence of the 32 county Irish Republic. They now recognise English crown law in Ireland as legitimate and uphold British rule in the North of Ireland. Over the years the Provisional movement have called on the Irish people to become British informers and collaborators, they have called for a unilateral ceasefire, accepted partition, accepted the unionist veto, endorsed the RUC/PSNI (colonial police) and recognised British puppet parliaments.”
Jaysus.
It’s probably the only source to criticise Jeremy Corbyn for meeting with Adams and McGuinness because he “associated with the very people who sold out the Republican movement.”
I’m aware and have met, known, know arm-chair Republicans. These are the most dangerous types. The incitement to vulnerables to bomb, kill, maim other human beings is beyond abhorrent. Revisionism is where I belong. My parish graveyard in Clonoe has a Republican plot full of young men who heard the call, in fact some of them were killed there answering, “The Nation’s Call”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK5Mzzbw4To
I’m not great with types who wag fingers, especially when they don’t know what they’re talking about.
London Spuds
Yayayaya
maybe the irish of london should shlip a bit of the oul blight into Nula’s spuds as a bit of payback for eh.. the famine, obviously
but wait it’s true – we do really love potatoes. we should embrace this – potatoes are amazing!
according to this list we eat over 90kg per person, three times the world average. we are in the top five consumers in the world. We come about 9th I think and are beaten by places like Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Belaurs etc. but also by Poland, Romania and Latvia.
