Blaa related article in the Daily Mail

Horrid rag that it is, there's an article on the blaa on page 54 of today's Daily Mail.

Blaa Daily Mail are three words I thought I'd never see in the same sentence!

Can someone scan it (I assume its the Orish ed) ?

Now you said it!

I can just see it: "one of the most unique foods in the British Isles, the Blaa was introduced to Watford in Southern Ireland under the reign of Queen Victoria..."

Wasn't it not introduced by the Hugonaughts (wrong spelling) before this

Oh yeah, sorry... during the reign of Queen Mary II

The Daily Mail certainly wouldn't make a monarch-related mistake!

Well I've searched the online version and there's nary a mention of the article. I till have it but don't bother myself with scanners now I've gone all digital. Will hang on to it for a bit, but maybe one of the upthedeise crew have it?

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but what's Blaa?

I've often seen the term Blaa associated with Waterford.

Ohhh... I never would have guessed bread!

I'd offer to scan it only for you won't see me ever buying, reading or even touching the daily mail!

Right, I've just broken my blaa virginity, courtesy of work's canteen. I'm now eating a blaa with butter and strawberry jam. Looks and tastes like a bread roll with butter and strawberry jam too me. Nice though.

Visitors staying tonight, one a Déise expat (gone to the big shmoke), the other who's never seen the Quay at night, never walked past Muldoons at 3.30 in the morning at the weekend, never said "whaddya tawkin about buoy, eh?", or drunk a can of Hoffman's down by the John's River, never seen Coumshingaun, never worn blue and white on a summer Sunday... and never had a blaa... ever!

Her whole life will change at breakfast tomorrow!

Unable to find this article at all.. ill double check, but its mostly stories and ramblings half way through the paper. I didnt come across any reference to the blaa..

The Dail Mail isnt the best of papers, buts its the best out of all the tabloids - including the Indo. Irish Examiner, Irish Times etc. are a different class of paper with more quality articles.

Roen

Well they're all rags, all that changes is the presentation. It's on page 54 of Thursdays one, the paddy edition.

Sully

The Irish Times / Examiner is certinally not a rag!

Got it. Ill scan it, its a question in some sort of Q/A section.

Sully

Its in an awkward position in the paper so I had to scan it individually..

JohnC.

So they basically reprinted Wikipedia and added a little.

mike65

Sean Ryan of Dungarvan sent it - they had to do nothing!

That looks suspiciously like the person who asked the question answered it as well or knew somebody who would answer it.

Have to agree, it struck me as suspicious straight away!

im going on my lunch now and am going to get a blaa nyom nyom!

deisemum

I thought the tradition in Blaa land was Blaas, butter and red lead;)

fricatus

This morning: cut in half, toasted, one half with Nutella, the other half with St Dalfour marmalade... ahh!!! Heaven!!! Just had to have a second one.

dazftw

Those blaas on wiki look horrible though.. I haven't had one in awhile but I dont remember them looking that horrible lol

echosound

What's up with the severe shortage of good soft floury blaas lately? All I can find are the hard crusty non-floury ones the gums are cut off me.
and blaas can only have one of 5 fillings -
buhher on it's own
cheese
rashers
sausages
red lead
anything else is blasphemy.

Oh and I am outraged at the new regulations whereby red lead is now pale pink lead. yuk. Doesn't taste the same without the nuclear neon colour.

mike65

I went into my local Centra this morning, not a blaa in sight! :mad:
