routine or the notion that Brits are bad cooks. It just isn't true anymore. Among other things, there are 67 Michelin-starred restaurants in London including three 3-star places. Irish food is better? Jesus, what a crock.

The other aspect of your post is hardly worth discussion, i.e., the notion that Dublin is more interesting than London. Dublin is a backwater, a village by European standards. What do you do when you are in London that would lead you to make these statements?

Is the Irish countryside beautiful? Sure. So is Northumberland or the Cotswolds.
