Nothing says Cork like a Chester cake🤙
That’s a bit of donkeys gudge, they call it Chester cake on the Douglas road, Rochestown and Montenotte
Norrie express
Chester cake also in Blackrock/ Bishopstown, advertised in the market 40 plus years ago as Chester, few pence , necessary whilst on the lang
Me bollix, I know a fair bit about the first place you mentioned,
Donkeys gudge
Don’t know it as much as me mo chara, and as we’re amongst the oldest of Blackrock families I stand my ground (doesent matter it’s lovely whatever it’s called)
Have you lost your mind? 
Not as far as I know, unless you’ve information that I don’t have
I’d know it as Chester Cake

Could you explain what they’re arguing about please.
The Carkies are fierce tribal. @Corksfinedtboy’s lot (south city townies for 500 years ) have one name for a disgusting looking cake. @backinatracksuit’s lot (slightly different part of the exact same place for as long) call the shit cake something else. There’s no fudging the issue unfortunately.

What’s chester cake?
We used to get this
In Michael Connolly’s shop in Barrack Street in Waterford. We called it Chester Bread. It was a very heavy brown paste made with bakery leftovers and raisins between two slices of pastry. You’d only buy it if the vanilla slices and cream buns were gone.
I believe it is called Gur Cake in Dublin.

So it’s not a Carkie thing??
Jesus Christ they’ll have a serious meltdown over this. How are they supposed to express their Corkness if other places have these things too? More sombreros, slang words and sexual deviancy perhaps
Wasn’t there a similar Limerick based argument before on Bread sauce or something like that?
