School kids heard they should wear Green if they felt Irish, orange if not. We were ignorant that orange represented protestants and English control, and green catholics and Irish freedom. Not a clue to the troubles in Northern Ireland.

When I asked for it here in Ottawa delis/restaurants, I got a blank look. Instead, they serve MONTREAL SMOKED MEAT which is more like pastrami. The only day you might see corned beef (and cabbage) at a pub/restaurant is today. I have to cook my own corned beef brisket as Ann suggested above to get my fix.Grace Koshidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934603958949938617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-65622499401517374922021-03-17T12:34:36.142-04:002021-03-17T12:34:36.142-04:00That's how I judge any place that calls itself...That's how I judge any place that calls itself a deli.
