    In this book he mentions a few times a guide book he is using. It's written by an Englishman visiting Ireland a couple of hundred years ago - can anyone remember the name? I don't have the book to hand to check

    Might be mentioned in the acknowledgments at the rear of the book. I read it years ago but can't think of the book he references, my book was handy so I took a pic of the acknowledgments and attached, might be mentioned there. Let me know if it's not mentioned there and if im bored later I'll take a flick through it.

    BTW, that book was the reason I tried Singapore Noodles, love them since.

    Think it's William Thackeray if I remember rightly

    From my memory it is Thackery. I think he had some connection to Ireland.
