What customs and things do you find strange in Ireland?

where did this "hang sangwich" thing come from? it does my head in when I hear people say it and then deny that that's what they said!
I've always been curious about where it came from... ham to hang... sandwich to sangwich. Does anyone know how it came to be?

either way it should have brown sauce on it and I wouldn't complain if someone added some cheese and onion Taytos too..

Not sure where it originated but it's a piss take of culchies isn't it??
Big fan of brown sauce but on a ham sandwich, I'm not so sure!

I am told that the Irish speak very fast. I gave directions to some Americans once and they didn't understand a word that I said.

You should try Irish stew with HP sauce it is out of this world.

As for funeral customs, we still practice a lot of Victorian death rituals here in Ireland. This my seem dark, but I studied the History of death at university.

Most of the world think we're strange for eating crisp sandwiches and for putting vinegar on our chips

I prefer worcester sauce in a stew.

Any love for Coddle seems to be only popular in Dublin.

I reserve Worcester sauce on baked beans, or cheese on toast.

Is anyone comfortable with the way they say Worcestershire sauce

I always sound like I have an enlarged tongue when I say it
