Me. 19. In Ireland for a 2 hour layover to move onto Germany. I realize I can drink here. I go to the bar in the airport.

"What can I get you?"

"Can I get an Irish Car Bomb?"

Yeah... they didn't like that. I didn't know anything about the terrorism shit! 😩

I'm Irish and worked as a barman for over 10 years. I don't know what happened to cause an issue with you but neither myself or any other bartender I worked with ever gave a shit about someone ordering a carbomb. We just made them and judged you for ordering a terrible drink

When you say you’re Irish, do you mean you were born and raised in Ireland?

Yes, born and raised in Ireland. From the midlands but living in Dublin

Yeah I'm from Chicago and have Irish relatives, including an authentic McCraken (look it up). You ask for a Black & Tan over in the old country.

[–] CrustyCrinkles@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I looked up authentic McCracken and nothing comes up apart from a couple linkedin profiles and baseball player Quinton McCracken. What did you mean by that?

[–] sizzler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A quick search shows McKracken is a Scottish surname (wigtown, SW Scotland) that moved to Ireland in 1600s and is the surname of 1 in 223000. So.. I'm not really sure what they are on about.
