Today's Find: Washing Up Liquid

Make sure to wash up before dinner kids! 
or wait... after dinner?


One of the first differences I noticed between North Americans and the Irish when I first moved was the term used for dish soap. 
What else could they possibly call it you ask?: 

Washing-Up Liquid


I know right?! What the heck is washing-up liquid? What are we washing up exactly? Are we taking a bath? Washing up the dog?!?

Today's Find: The Sausage Roll

Behold... 

The Sausage Roll 


If there's one thing I've noticed about Irish cuisine, putting aside their love for fish & chips, they adore sausage rolls. It's a comfort food for grown ups and children alike! 

The sausage roll seems to have its origin in the United Kingdom, but is popular in many countries, including Ireland and apparently Australia, New Zealand, Belgium and Canada, just to name a few! Who knew!?
 However, the type of sausage roll you'd find back home in Canada is more of a  'pigs in a blanket' and smaller in size, like a cocktail sausage. Correct me if I'm wrong, the dough used in something like a 'pig in a blanket' is different as well. 

A sausage roll in the UK and Ireland is made with puff pastry wrapped around sausage meat. They can be 12inches long! wow... this post suddenly became highly inappropriate... but I'm talking about sausage rolls! I can't get around it! 

You can find sausage rolls everywhere here. Bakeries, cafes, restaurants, convenience stores, shops... just everywhere. 

So that's today's find! 

Eat up! 


Keep Smilin',
