Irish Coffee original recipe

From 1939 - 1945, Foynes, County Limerick, was the centre of the aviation world. The port of Foynes was the fulcrum point for air traffic between the United States and Europe. Chef Joe Sheridan made the first Irish Coffee to warm up some damp miserable passengers in 1942.

Dublin City / Baile Átha Cliath

Dublin is the capital city of Ireland with a population of nearly million people and covering an area of 115 Sq Kilometers. Situated on the estuary of the River Liffey and in the province of Leinster. Despite its fame around the world, Dublin is a remarkably small and intimate city. This is an important aspect of its charm, for within the compact central districts are museums, art galleries, medieval cathedrals and churches, Georgian terraces and great public buildings – all part of a history that goes back over a thousand years. Yet Dublin is equally renowned for its lively pubs, theatres, music venues and literary heritage. All of these contribute to the contemporary city’s uniquely vibrant atmosphere and great social and cultural scene.

Irish Playwright, Poet and Travel Writer

John Millington Synge is one of Ireland’s best known playwrights and one of the founders of the Abbey Theatre. Born in Dublin in 1871 he attended both the Royal Irish Academy and Trinity College Dublin receiving scholarships from the academy and graduating from Trinity with a focus on language studies. Meeting William Butler Yeats in Paris, Synge was inspired to learn more about the Irish language and along with Yeats, Lady Gregory was instrumental in the setting up of the Abbey Theatre. The Abbey produced many of his plays such as In the Shadow of the Glen and Playboy of the Western World.

Those who don’t know Irish pubs, and the interesting people who frequent them, will always possess only a superficial knowledge of Irish life and culture. The Irish pub is not only an excellent guide to many attractive centres of celebration; it is also a helpful and civilised introduction to higher education in a convivial atmosphere. This is a necessary text for all those in search of enlightenment and laughter.

« L’Irlande est un régal pour les yeux et l’esprit. Pendant plus de six mille ans, cette île posée comme un bijou au bord de l’Atlantique a été habitée par des peuples qui appréciaient ses qualités physiques et spirituelles particulières. Voici une terre ou le passé est plus que palpable. Ce passé s’offre à être touché, remonté, examiné, et vécu. Glens, vallées et montagnes sont non seulement peuplées par des souvenirs qui ne mourront pas, mais aussi par des esprits qui ne sont pas oubliés. Dans un monde qui semble être en situation de flux constant, quelques aspects de l’Irlande ne changent jamais. Dublin est une ville européenne moderne, mais seulement à quelques kilomètres, le vent souffle sur Tara comme cela s’est fait au début de l’histoire, et des moutons broutent l’herbe sur lequel le peuple magique marchait, le Tuatha De Danann. »

Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin in November 1667. Entering Trinity College at the tender age of 14 Swift found himself ill-suited to the institution. The records show that he neglected his studies and on several occasions was censured for, amongst other transgressions, ‘tavern haunting’.  Swift is probably best known to modern audiences from his satirical works, most notably in what became known as Gulliver’s Travels. After the completion on his B.A. and M.A. in Trinity, Swift moved to London and worked as a political pamphleteer for both the Whigs and Tories, at various times. In 1713 Swift returned to Ireland on his appointment as Dean of St Patrick’s Cathedral. He soon became a champion of the Irish cause and is now considered an Irish patriot. Swift died in 1745 and was buried in his own cathedral.

Many theories have been put forward to explain why they are so brightly painted and ornamented, none unfortunately likely to be true. It has been suggested, for instance, that the practice originated at the time of Elizabeth 1, when a Puritan administrator decreed that all the city’s door and window frames should be the same drab brown colour. In an act of the defiance, the artistic and expressive population responded by painting them in the brightest hues they could find. A similar story dates from reign of Queen Victoria in the late 1800’s. Some claim that after the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert, the grieving monarch ordered all the doors in Dublin painted black in his memory. Once again the rebellious Dubliners refused and turned their front doors into a riot of colour.
