    Which things do you consider to be typically "Irish".

    Any traditions, foods, games (other than the obvious, but include the obvious too if you so wish), conversation pieces, list them here. Oh and say whether or not you like these things.

    I don't mean Irish as in an outsider's perception of Ireland. Just real, Irish stuff.
