Hot on the heels of the recent blog I did about Stuff Irish People Say (to Americans) and Stuff Americans Say (to Irish people), here is a blog by Bazpierce. It’s similar in theme and pretty funny…best of all, you get to hear the Irish accent so well (even if his American accent isn’t the best).
Bazpierce, I wish I could have figured out how to contact you before posting your videoblog…so sorry, but I’m new to all this and I didn’t want to set up a YouTube account in order to reach you. Thanks for the laugh!
As for the question, “How many pudatoes do you eat in one day?”. Well, I can’t answer that exactly but I do know (thanks to the Irish Potato Marketing association and the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations) that Ireland’s potato consumption per capita is 120kg. Compare that to America, where it is 63kg and Belarus where it is 172kg. Incidentally the figures for the U.K., Estonia, Rwanda, Portugal and Russia were all in line with Ireland.
I wonder if it would be possible for you to include this link to our handcrafted goods from the West of Ireland on your blog?? We are trying to reach the Irish diaspora and not sure how to do it. Thank you so much if you can help. Xx https://www.etsy.com/ie/teams/21624/connemarawest-of-ireland-team
Hi Dee. Thank you for reaching out. I would love to know more about what you’re doing on Etsy. I visited your link but was somewhat confused. Why not send me another reply, sharing more about what you’re doing on Etsy and who is working with you, and let’s get people talking! Once I know more, I might even write an article for my blog about your work! Hope to hear back from you…all the best! Kim
