My roommate, Nora, posed an interesting question today. This is how it breaks down.
Premise: The Irish seem to love mayonnaise. They put it on chips and slather it on sandwiches.
Question: Could this be because Mayonnaise is from Ireland? Perhaps from County Mayo?
Answer: No. Sadly, mayonnaise originated in Spain, not in County Mayo. Thank you to Wikipedia for answering the question. The Irish must just like mayonnaise because they like hardy food that is bad for their arteries.
Last night was IES Movie Night. They showed InterMission. I enjoyed it - it was just the sort of film that I like. A bit gritty with an ending that is only partially happy.
I leave for Belfast tomorrow!
