Apparently it originated in Chester of all places.

And one about bread rolls in Waterford.
Ah yes ā¦ Iāve had it , albeit many years ago, but never knew it by that name.
What did they call it in Limerick?
A Glen v Rockies county final
Cork cake
But why have you a broken tile on top of it?
No idea
It looks dreadful whatever your call it.
The chester cake is obviously not a Cork thing, itās known as donkeys gudge there though which is probably unique to Cork,
I used to love a bit of Russian log cake, is that still a thing below in Cork @Corksfinedtboy, @Locke and any other sweet toothed Cork posters, also made of leftover cakes traditionally.

Are you saying that the Carkies have adopted yet another vestige of British Culture and claimed it as their own? Never.
Cork is a lovely little British city

A Chester Cake is made in bakeries with the scraps of other cakes and would be a Norrie thing. Thatās my understanding of it anyway.

I was at the Garryvoe for a wedding two years ago. It was a fantastic hotel in a beautiful location. The food was lovely and the wedding was very special. As an added bonus my friends went out shopping and met the famous Angela Lansbury in a fish restaurant. I shit you not.
The only sour note during the whole weekend was when we stopped in Castlemartyr for a few pints, with half a mind to continue our weekend indefinitely. We made the mistake of asking the local bar lady for directions to a particular beach that we had heard of (I canāt remember which one). The lady sticks her nose about a foot into the air, as if she was directing her nostrils at us and started scoffing. āJesus ye know nothin! You need to go to [some other fucking beach], the water there will be a lot warmer boy!ā We didnāt allow this unpleasant incident to spoil our holiday.
I would definitely return to the Garryvoe but I will never make the mistake of ever conversing with the locals ever again.

Was that Cliffordās? Most of the locals dont even go in there
Sounds like the lady was trying to be helpful and send ye to a nicer beach
Do you not have google maps on your phone?
It was the Hunted Hog. She was in a bad mood because it was the weekend that Limerick beat Cork in the semi after extra time. I watched that in the Hunted Hog surrounded by distressed Carkies, it was class, no social distancing. She was trying to be helpful but sadly couldnāt help herself.

No-one outside the village would go into Cliffords
