OK. Time’s up. Did you try to reply each time?
Today, we talked about a full Irish breakfast.
Yes, you absolutely have to have a full Irish breakfast when you go to Ireland. And it’s pretty much the same everywhere, but there are some regional variations.
How about your hometown? Can you have a full Irish breakfast in your hometown?
Sure. We would have a full Irish breakfast with black pudding and white pudding.
I see. By the way, you said your hometown is New Mullet. No?
No, Bell Mullet.
At my apologies.
No problem.
Your hometown is Bell Mullet.
Yeah.
What kind of food is your hometown famous for?
Well, because it’s by the sea, there’s lots of delicious seafood like oysters or lobsters, but also because the lambs in the spring when they’re born. They eat the grass by the seaside, which has a kind of salty flavor.
The grass has (Yeah.) salt in it, because it’s by the sea.
Seaside, Right. So this kind of lamb is called salt marsh lamb, and it has a lovely naturally salty taste.
That’s a wonderful story. So there’s a natural salty seasoning to the lamb.
Steve will show you one way to reply. Listen carefully.

アイルランドの「モーニング」
日本では名古屋など 「モーニング」で有名な地域がありますが、 実は、アイルランドもボリューム満点の朝食でとても有名です。 比較的なじみのあるベークドビーンズやきのこ、卵などに加えて、 特徴的なのがブラックプディング(black pudding) です。
(In Japan, there are regions famous for “mornings” such as Nagoya, but in fact, Ireland is also famous for its hearty breakfasts. In Ireland, in addition to the familiar baked beans, mushrooms, eggs, etc., black pudding is a distinctive feature of the breakfast.)
スイーツのプリンではありません。これは大麦、豚の血と脂、 タマネギ、 香辛料などを混ぜたソーセージのこと。 「朝からガッツリすぎ!」と驚かれるかもしれませんが、カリカリに焼いて食べると意外とあっさりしていますよ。 アイルランドを訪れたら、ぜひ現地の 「モーニング」を試してみてください。
( It is not a sweet pudding. It’s a sausage made with barley, pig’s blood and fat, onions, and spices. You may be surprised to learn that it’s a little too much for this morning. But it is surprisingly light when it is crispy and grilled. If you visit Ireland, you should definitely try the local “morning” dish.)
