We had these in a pub in Dublin on one of our weekend jaunts to the city. Every other weekend for a few months Erin, Eli, and I would take the early morning bus into Dublin to explore for the day and do all the "touristy" things: the shops, the pubs, the restaurants, museums, cathedrals, parks, zoo, etc.--all the tourist sights. It was great fun. We got to know the city very well. I can say my favorite parts of the city were St. Stephen's Green, Phoenix Park, and Powerscourt. I loved to visit Bewley's and The Shrimp Wine Bar.
Me at Murphy's, a popular pub in the 80s
We had these "nachos" for lack of a better word, and they were delicious. Instead of corn chips, the basket was filled with french fries smothered in all things Irish. Today they are standard fare in most Irish pubs. And I must say they are one of my favorite pub offerings. Most include potato waffle fries as the base.
