|
Is there a restaurant in Seoul that serves British food? I was thinking the best bet would be to look in Iteawon but was hoping someone could recommend a specific spot.
Thanks. |

One large pot, a tonne of cooking oil, and you can deep-fry enough Mars bars to feel at home. |

| Irish stew is not British food. You can tell by the first word in the name. |

In case you are unaware, Britain, or Great Britain, means England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (used to have Southern Ireland or what is now the Republic of Ireland, too).
Thus British encompasses Irish. Which makes Irish stew British food. |

� am from Ireland. Many people died here in order to have the right to say Ireland and Irish cultural products are not British.
Most of the world and most British citizens now respect this right. Please consult relevant history books for more info.
Also the section of Northern Ireland's population loyal to the British crown would not consider Irish stew to be a British food. So it would be a insult to both sides.
I don't know why I even bothered to reply to such ignorance. |

What's it say on your passport? British or Product of Ireland? What matters to the rest of the world is what it says on your passport. Beyond that, I don't think the rest of the world cares.
How much longer before a Scot shows up and screams at the other user deep fried Mars bars are a Scottish creation and not "British"... |

Damn right we would 
Scottish chippies in general are just far better than their English so-called equivalents.
And wasn't it Byron who first referred to Irish Stew, anyway? |

Before Byron it was referred to as "Stew" in Ireland.
Our passports say Republic of Ireland by the way. We have a British embassy here and we have zero political connection now except for International relations.
Scotland situation and Ireland's are quite different. Scotland is still a part of GB. It has a somewhat devolved goverment but it is not independent yet.
Ireland has been independent for a long time now. We were a recognised as a free state long before Korea. Thats why I was surprised at the comments.
I know Ireland is just a dot on the map to people from bigger countries but it is like saying that New Zealand is a province of Australia or Canada is the 51st state of the US. |

That's nonsense. Ireland and Britain have had very close political connections for some time. Irish people have been able to live, work, and vote in the UK well before the EU was in place. The UK and Ireland have far more in common with each other than they do with other nations. In fact, there are more people of Irish descent in the UK than there are in Ireland. Irish stew may be 'orginally' from Ireland, but it has been a part of British cuisine for a long time. Claiming Irish Stew as something 'uniquely' Irish is a bit like claiming football as uniquely British. |

Come to Jeju, lots of fish, and you can pretend the dried squid is "chips."  |

You misunderstood me. We do have a close relationship with Britain and our cultures are similar.
What I was trying to explain is that the countries are close in the same way as Sweden and Norway are close while still being independent of each other.
Britain's no-visa situation with Ireland was just simple economics. Britain's economy was strong, ours was weak. We had surplus workers and they had a shortfall in certain industries. It was as simple as that.
Irish people got a simplified US visa system for the same reason. It is still very easy for Irish people to emigrate there. |
