No Reservations - Ireland Part 2

[anythingnew]

Didn't Denis Leary say that Irish cuisine is putting everything in a pot and boil for 17 and a half hours? lol

[Yehbytheway]

@skoi87 It's a Norwegian dish called lobskouse.

[ToadsMGodes]

@skoi87 stop being a fag

[kaindrg]

how does one stay awake after an irish breakfast?

[ToadsMGodes]

@kaindrg One might have some strong coffee afterwards, if one were so inclined.

[Dierwolf2000]

@kaindrg

there is such a thing as "irish coffee" ;)

[Dierwolf2000]

did an irish chef just suggest you fucking water down jameson? fuck will wonders never cease?

[CalloftheWarrior1]

@Dierwolf2000 Well, no, he said "a little bit", and he meant it, a few drops of water sort of "loosens" the whiskey, and brings out the aroma, it's actually the way to drink a whiskey or a whisky.

Not too big of a fan of the ice they're using, but that's just personal, I like my drink to make me feel warm and fuzzy. :P.

But there's no arguing taste. xD

[Dierwolf2000]

@CalloftheWarrior1

yes i get the flavor bloom aspect of a few drops of water, but i refuse to alter the characteristics of a given brew in any way, as i am a craft distiller myself.

[CalloftheWarrior1]

@Dierwolf2000 You might give me chaff for being ignorant for this next remark (This being the interweb), but with water being the prime component of nearly every drink, does it really matter that much? (Obviously adding more than a few drops makes it taste like water, which is not preferable, but still.)

[Dierwolf2000]

@CalloftheWarrior1

no chaff really, its about intention. if the master blenders at jameson say that water blooming is part of their intended flavor profile, then so be it. I just try my utmost to maintain the integrity of a given flavor is all.

[Dierwolf2000]

@CalloftheWarrior1 and i will give it fair play, blooming the flavor of Jameson IS tasty.

[wasilaify]

Go Ireland go!

[fjt108]

I don't know why he bothered to go there. Irish and British food is the worst on the planet...followed by other Northern European countries. Cold climates have not provided the ingredients to create a tradition of good food....They're just out of the ice age.

The tradition of good food starts at the Mediterranean countries...and of course Asia.

[fjt108]

This is rubbish. Traditional Irish food is spuds,spuds,spuds, cabbage and spuds. A bit of pig or cow for the well off...and I was born there. ..Thank God my parents escaped...I'm vegetarian though.

[ToadsMGodes]

Ireland should have never become part of the EU...Ireland was doing great until

[ikillhippies]

@ToadsMGodes er, i think you need to go over history again. Ireland's boom was due to the EU.

[ToadsMGodes]

@ikillhippies Er, thats right, and Ireland's econimic break down was also do to the EU...thats why it required a huge bailout.... try to keep up

[ikillhippies]

@ToadsMGodes Nope, Ireland's breakdown was due to the unsustainable property bubble proliferated by Irish politicians bursting violently at the same time as the international recession. This was exacerbated by unsound Irish banking practices (overseen by the Irish government) and widespread fraud and cronyism in the Irish banking system. The EU consistently recommended that Ireland stop inflating property prices before the crash and helped our banking system survive in the crisis.

[ToadsMGodes]

@ikillhippies That was beautiful.....Shakespeare? or Wikipedia?

[ikillhippies]

@ToadsMGodes Actually it was paying attention to the news for the last decade and being from the country, idiot. Find a sentence in my comment that I took from Wikipedia or is untrue. Are you even from Ireland?

[ToadsMGodes]

@ikillhippies lol fuck off you cunt stain...those are not your own words, you looked that shit up...Im from Somalia

[ikillhippies]

@ToadsMGodes I'm from Ireland. I pay attention to the news. I didn't copy a single word of what I wrote. I also noticed you dodged the question about whether what I said was true. lol I bet you're one of those american cunts who thinks you're irish because your great great grandfather liked the colour green. Face it, you're a fucking moron who knows nothing and is know deflecting simple questions. I am LMAOing because I am better+smarter than you. LOL you are so dumb, you probably beleive in god

[limpidd]

i'd love to have a pint there!

[pauly600k5]

good food great place, ireland!

[ToadsMGodes]

@skoi87 haha thanks guy!

[angelmarine1292]

The chef raised a good point. I often wonder if Bourdain just says "oh this is really good" purely to be courteous, and its mediocre, or even bad. I'm not referring to this dish in particular, it looks awesome. Just speaking generally.

[ikillhippies]

@angelmarine1292 In the Osaka episode (I think) he commented that stinky tofu wasn't his favourite thing in the world which was a nice way of saying he din't like it. I'd like to think he's honest but he has tact.

[Yehbytheway]

@skoi87 lobskouse is a norwegian dish and was sold by scandinavian women.

I'm scouse german.

The world in one city.

Scouse is made with beef not lamb.

Scouse with no meat is called blind scouse.

If it's made with lamb or mutton it's called peewack.

Pork or ham it's called cowl.

[Yehbytheway]

@Yehbytheway most of the scouse lingo is welsh it's der ta der da like la .

Is welsh lingo.

But no the Irish did everything

to translate it's moved from one place to another.

[Janetging2]

I love it, Leave it to an Irish guy to call Anthony out, " do you call it like it is Tony or do you say everything is lovely". That is what sucks about Bourdain and his show everything is great, everything is the best, ,but it can't be that way something has to suck, and some people ans some cultures have to be A-holes.

[sabradan]

Is Paul Rankin related to Ian Rankin, do you think?

[navigate83]

sea urchin rocks!

[luckyrabbitfoot99]

I pray that i can die in Ireland. (hopefully live there too haha)

[KatiushaVN4]

stupid irish chef....copycat

[rennyminou]

Read "Trinity" by Leon Uris - incredible.

[bullishvirus]

ireland rhcp the beast episode ever.

[Dierwolf2000]

irish beef and kimchi... yanno i think i gotta try that.

[johneverready]

I love the Irish accent. Its different.

[globetrekker86]

@johneverready So do I ;) The Irish language itself sounds incredible.

[Kangos7]

it seemed anthony was a little annoyed by paul rankin i don't know why though

[rennyminou]

Beer for breakfast - love it!

Lovely place, Ireland. I hope the peace continues.

[ToadsMGodes]

Ive been thinking about living in Ireland for a couple of years. i think it would be cool

[RetartedWaffles]

@ToadsMGodes You should :) It's a great place.

[ToadsMGodes]

@RetartedWaffles ...I will for sure within the next few years! I cant wait..I actually had an Irish girl on youtube tell me that yanks are not welcome in Ireland, and the "lads" will beat the crap out of me. lolo

[jakerandall123]

The Irish accents makes me miss my Grandmother so much. God Bless The Irish...

[thetincan99]

now..i'm trying to learn more about irland's culinary substances. but, all i've seen so far is beef, lamb, and potatoes. given that i've jsut started re-searching, but if anyone has any more info. and would be cool enough to help me out, please do. ^^

[PooPoo2U]

the beginning cracks me up when you can hear the strong difference in the guys' accents. reminds me of being home and listening to my cousins who all had strangely different ones as well, haha

[Wolfhowl1329]

All I know is the food looks awesome!!!

I want a steak now

[evildeathmonkey1]

Man I like this show.

but what do they mean with ''aged'' when they talk about the beef?

[Hospitaller]

Means the beef has been in a freezer for a while. Not fresh, so to speak. It's considered a good thing.

[tessincyprus]

@Hospitaller No, not frozen! it means that the beef has been "hung" in a cool place until mature. If eaten soon as slaughtered it doesn't tast so good.

[Jesteria78]

I like the orange juice ;)

[kristianOLS]

Catholicism is the true church.

[Jcolinsol]

Gnosticism is the true church.

Zoroastrianism is the true church.

Subgenius is the true church

[14mm2]

@Jcolinsol

any religiosity is wrong

[Jcolinsol]

@14mm2

Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

[WunderDoob]

what dude wears earrings. and one earring at that. freak

[donvit2]

since when di people ever had preconceptions that irish food was bad...?

[jsmith0433]

well there is alot of irish blood in us Kentuckians

[alijohuser]

why are there subtitles? you can easily understand them if you pay attention

[akropiss]

they sound like newfies... or the other way around.

[lima6154]

@akropiss newfies do sound like the irish, to different degrees of course, mostly because more irish settled here then anyone else. actually if you go to southern newfoundland the people there have dead on irish accents, even to us newfoundlanders.

[EasyEs]

Donnie Dumphy bahahaha ..people here in Nova Scotia sound Irish..or like they are from Kentucky its funny.

[watchESSENTIALtv]

if your ever in chicago BLUE ANGEL on central and milwaukee has the best IRISH breakfast. its the perfect nightcap or starter.

[manglai]

this place looks boring, old euro style

[hannigan06]

Ireland Oh I love you so much. I from an American stand point. I can't understand why two great people can be divided so much. If the Protestants and Catholics United. The world would be in trouble. Both sides are Golden to me.

[MaxFrisch84]

It's the vitamins that are so important...

LOL

[Iheartcoca13]

holy jesus i want that breakfast plate. stat!

[itsaguinness]

what the name of that song starting at about 4:45

[subroto81]

I was curious too what the traditional irish food is? anything other than meat and potatoes..., if anyone looks up the history of potatoes you will find that potatoes were from south america originally. then brought over to europe. What did the irish people eat before the discovery of the new world>???

[rp1816]

In the middle ages (in England, usually 1066-1492), most of the peasant class in Britain as a whole, including Ireland, would have eaten a grain-based 'pottage', as fresh meat was often protected for the gentry. Offal would have been available, so blood-based food, sausage - essentially anything cheap (though in very recent times, offal has become fashionable). Even in the 19th century though, fresh meat was very expensive in Ireland.

[Freshhhhh1982]

Lots of fish.

[IrishBoY412xx]

shepherd's pie buddy thats the the way ta go

[ArchArturo]

What's with the tabasco sauce?.

[nixie1986]

I've never had sea urchin...ever. I feel like I'm missing out on something. D:

[rp1816]

There's a sea urchin soup in the last segment of the London/Edinburgh episode.

[Artfryne]

you're missing out on something very special. best get on that sea urchin !

[manutdr8]

yea u are

its the osso bucco of the sea

[55topaz]

I live in the midwest ... and no one gets this here save for fellow friends of Isles ancestry... But my idea of a mixed drink is putting ice in it! lol

[Caramelle22]

Sea urchin!!! <3 I like that guy already! haha he have some awesome shows

[Penguinkinder]

Partía de borrachines... jajajajajaaja

[ezappa871]

4:00 He says sea urchin..In the Chile episode, he says his favorite fish is sardines. I guess hes a writer and makes this shit up on the fly, also has changing love affairs like the rest of us. cheers

[ArchArturo]

A tabasco sauce bottle!?.

[JunkieSmurf]

haha those red hot chili pepper bits where cool

[firtreesunday]

of course anthony's favorite fish is sea urchin. only anthony would respond with freaking sea urchin.

[ec688]

what's wrong with yummy old sea urchin ;)

[BLastyboW]

@firtreesunday they are tasty!

[cangooooods]

Booze before like noon.... like I don't think I could do that.

[Yehbytheway]

Scouse is much nicer than Irish stew.

[eddles777]

hahah mmmmm fresh canned oj in the morning

[godspeed18]

asian food is the best and most influential for sure!!!

[rp1816]

Anthony Bourdain is great - and as he says, he definitely had a few sherberts before meeting Paul Rankin.

[GreenBicLighter]

im russian, i love to drink with the irish they are among the best!

[deliriouscouture]

fuck yeah you guys like to drink. when i went to moscow i nearly died!

[crazydancingpoet]

so Irish needed asian fusion to get taste better? haha, new culinary superpower.... right.

[anvilofcrom]

I can't stand guiness, it tastes like liquid iron.

[SebastianSlasherMP]

I didn't like it at first either, it's different. I guess it's an aquired taste.

[zetec115]

Can't believe he never tried an Ulster Fry or a full soda

[Knightjc]

TABASCO SAUCE!!!! Lol

[crusader037972]

thats the way I learned to takew whiskey, jamesons, one rock, hint of water.

[GOP4USA]

Just a bit off the mark. Bushmills and only Bushmills. True Irish Whiskey...

When you die and go to Heaven you smell it on God's breath.

[TomBarry192I]

Parental discretion??

[WolfArden44]

Tom,Yeah I didn't get that parental discretion shit either.

[TehCheese]

Probably a combination of smoking and the paramilitaries murals. I don't agree with the parental discretion, but I know how sensitive the Americans are :P

[23811malone]

Sensitive Americans?! Are you kidding?? They eat this stuff up! American Irish bars are full of people who, with very little real information on the subject, align themselves with this cause to feel a closeness to their Irish roots! (I'm American, by the way.)

[ahriman22]

Just that the Irish weren't the ones that came to the Americas first.

Fail.

[ForcheAlex]

What does it matter that they weren't the first ones? They were defintely one of the majority immigrant groups.

[aoimozart]

i have not been to ireland.

[buckle24x]

the irish sure do like to drink o.O

[lawless689]

the irish can be hard to understand however i'm second generation irish because my mother was born in belfast so i have the mindset of an irishman so i can understand them.

[itslikeframingapear]

guinness with breakfast! Legend.

[howeuth]

deffinately bi polar

[dazigg]

Its amazing to me how different the English language can sound. I mean, being an American, I have to really listen to be able to understand the Irishmen, not just because of their accent, but because their rate of speech is so much faster than how we speak here. Its really interesting.

[yamibakurasfangirl]

'It's artery- clogging delicious.'

xD How true!!!

[dorraine420]

Irish beef has always been the best

[Tinymoezzy]

not asian inspired listen he said delicate asian flair it is a fusion of style.

[hunclemike]

That would be an interesting and difficult concept i bet.

[MuhammadChrist]

I'm from ireland and I can't understand a word of that jibberish from the northerners. Fuck me it sounds like arabic

[Tiajuan]

NOOOOOOOOOOO Reservations

[austinmusic]

guiness.... burton on tyrent

[austinmusic]

dk>bob richards>RP 2008

[kpride220]

kimchi makes everything better

[BLUEATOMS]

it's no longer an acquired taste! it's required!!

[sexydecayed69]

Now I want to go to that resteraunt and that Irish accent is just sooo sexy and the food looked so awesome.

Ahhh and Irish Whiskey mmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm good.

Lool that is the kind of breakfast that You have to sleep afterwards just to get moving again lol.

[Lokilanie]

Ohhh, I agree with what you said about the accent. *Drool*

[Moredread25]

I have some relitives (great-grandfather) who was from Ireland, town in Southern Ireland called Dungarven, I think. His father owned a ship building thing. I'm a little skechy. His father asked him to go to a bank to get the day's pay for the men. So he did, the banker knew him and gave him the money. He took the money and boarded a ship to America. Here I am.

[getchi]

Ireland is not England!!!

[tribekat]

Northern Ireland is not Ireland!

[DecVC]

he's right

[sherri9999]

I don't care what people say, I like him, I love that he seems like he could be a real prick but very funny! I'd do em'

[Shadowghoul7]

y do they copy all asian foods like kimchee?

[SethHesio]

Chef Bourdain is definitely drunk during the Paul Rankin meal. LOL. Love this series, especially this episode. It really shows how much of a European he really is... PLUS great to see two masterful chefs enjoying a cigarette.. Salut !

[masagol]

hi guys.i just have a question.anthony is a fukin gay?i dnt know y i hate him though it was da 1st time i saw him.

[Chrisjouett12]

idk i think he is thats what the internet says

[luckystrikeGREEN]

It's beautiful to see the home land. And the accents are G-d's gift to the Irish, it allows them to be the best negotiators and orators in the world.

[donsegua]

Subtitles are a very good thing for folks like me. I'm a native spanish speaker, very used to the american accent(USA/CANADA), I appreciate this subtitles. In spanish somethimes we see this same subtitles, like in english, in spanish we have many different accents and it helps!.

[kinc1967]

He came across like a complete ballbag as usual Brian. Bourdain i can listen to, but i can't stomach Rankin going on ad nauseum.

[kinc1967]

Did anyone else get the impression that Paul Rankin is a self-serving conceited fuck? Pretentious maybe? And Bourdain didn't look that impressed with hsi lamb or his fucking poncey beef. Rankin the wanker.

[brianmcg321]

No, I didn't get that at all. He didn't seem any different than any other executive chef I have met. Now Anthony Bourdain on the other hand...But Anthony would tell you himself that he is a "self-serving conceited fuck".

[Shadowghoul7]

y do u hate him so much? it's kinda weird dat ireland copies all asian stuff though

[FranCrudden]

A fuck off .

[kelane03]

sorry i meant to reply to someone elses comment.

[kelane03]

that's because there are people that can't understand what they are saying cause of the strong accents....DUH!!

[ZakWieluns]

Again, the subtitles are stupid...

[kelane03]

that's cause people can't understand what they are saying due to their strong accents....DUH!!
