Hi PJ, Lovely recipe, and we'll try to set you straight about the Irish. (I don't mean to sound picky but here goes...) You'd never say "La na gCeapairi" for buttered bread in Irish, because bread is "arán" and butter is "im", so "the buttered bread" would be more like "An t-arán im". "La" has to have an accent ("lá") to become day (otherwise it would probably be more like la-la-la). "Ceapairí" would be sandwiches (plural). Finally, in Hiberno-English we'd probably say something along the lines of "The Day of the Sangwedges"! Thanks so much! I knew someone would be able to set me (and my fractured Gaelic) straight... :) PJH
