Irish Stout

Famous quotes containing the words irish and/or stout:

    The rule for hospitality and Irish “help,” is, to have the same dinner every day throughout the year. At last, Mrs. O’Shaughnessy learns to cook it to a nicety, the host learns to carve it, and the guests are well served.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Nearing again the legendary isle
    Where sirens sang and mariners were skinned,
    We wonder now what was there to beguile
    That such stout fellows left their bones behind.
    Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
