    Stout and Smithwicks here in Galway...

    Where's the controversy? Yanks have been asking for a drink of this name since I started working in a pub back in 2000. Having a drink named after them is ok but ice cream is out of bounds???

    It's ironic that, after all of the bloodshed and the efforts of our ancestors, all those years ago, Ireland is still run by a bunch of ****!

    It wasnt named after them it was named after the colour of the drinks being mixed.

    This is an old thing that happened a couple of years ago. They brought out the Ice Cream and there was some complaining from everybody , it made it into the paper. B&J apolagised and changed it to a Dublin Mud Slide .

    Yeah i phrased that badly. But wasn't the ice-cream named after the drink? Still failing to see why people got worked up about it!

    Ben and Jerrys launched the ice cream flavour to celebrate St Patrick's Day, which is really bizarre. It is like launching Nazi flavoured ice cream to celebrate honnika.

    Ben and Jerry's say the ice cream is named after the drink. The drink was around before the paras, but it originated in England - most Irish people haven't even heard of it. So it doesn't make sense to launch an ice cream flavour of it for Patrick's Day. It's a demonstration of extreme ignorance. I suspect someone along the line was taking the p!ss.

    You learn about it in Junior Cert. History Class.

    At least that's where I heard about it, it was in the history book we had. I didn't do history for the leaving so it had to be the Junior Cert.

    Nothing pisses me off more than Irish people who try to get others to forget what happened in this country while we were under British rule.

    There is no getting over it.
    It happened and trying to forget that it happened is an insult to all those who lived and suffered through it.

    Roughly 2 million died under British rule in the first half of the 19th century.
    Go and tell a Jew that Hitler didn't kill 6 million of their people and then come back to me.

    Couldn't agree more. It's bad enough that British people don't have a clue about it.

    If anything they were named after the drink (that the uniform/garb cooincided with), which AFAIK is not a US invention. I worked bar many a moon ago and occasionally got asked for a black and tan by some oul fella, and not an American tourist in sight...

    I challenge your statement.

    However, the nicest one of all is no longer sold here, and that makes me very sad. Half Baked, how I miss you :(

    I don't think it's fair on Holocaust survivors and the relatives of those who perished to compare what the Irish suffered under British rule, and how we are affected by it, to the plight of Jewish people - even though the Black and Tans were absolute *****.
