Ireland: Land Of Magic

By J.A. CUNNINGHAM chain. Unless you know Part IV what you are looking for. Food shopping in Ireland y 0 u will never find it, as it is not much of a problem. seems to be a dry-goods

store similar to Benney's. You walk past tw shoes, shirts and clotnR, and there in the back is a supermarket about the size of one of our comer groceries. Except for meat, you can find most of the food and housekeeping

products you will need For meats, you must go

to the "Vitualler” or butcher. On display in the window are steaks, chops, roasts. A whole lamb and hams may be hanging above them. None of the meat seems to be refrigerated. The butchers

who are used to seeing our meat packaged in plastic, and lined up neatly in refrigerated cases. The milk f which is sold in pints only) is also not refrigerated in the stores, and in the smaller shops sits outside in cases for

customers to pick up. You realize how this can

work when you consider the climate. In the warmest months. (July and August) the average temperature is about 50

degrees F. In Februai the coolest month

although it is a little different from what Americans are ac-

customed.

In the first place, the Irish, in common with other Europeans, generallyuse refrigerators the size of our under the counter’ "office" style. This means shopping must be done frequently, and even the smallest towns have a number of little food shops. ‘ Supermarkets, as we know them, are only found in the

The milk is pastuerized. but not homogenized-and what a difference that makes! Those of us who remember when milk was delivered to our homes in bottles, and recall the sight of the ’high hat’ made by the cream pushing the lid off on icy days, know the taste. It makes you wonder if the milk we use today is watered. The butter also is different-it doesn’t have the that waxy taste even our best butter seems to have. The whipped cream would distract the most

serious dieter.

One of the things I am still trying to figure out is where they hide the pigs. Ham is a staple item, and no Irish breakfast in complete without slabs of bacon, (bacon, I might add. which looks and tastes more like a slice of ham than our nitrated and processed type.) You can't go anywhere without seeing catlle and sheep, but you almost never see a pig. Food prices are about the same as those in Americahigh!
