Happy Bloomsday!
If you go into Davy Byrnes Pub today, you can still get the Gorgonzola sandwich which was made so famous by Leopold Bloom in Ulysses. So why not get out the soda bread and celebrate Bloomsday with us!
“Mr. Bloom ate his stripes of sandwich, fresh clean bread, with relish of disgust, pungent mustard, the feety savour of green cheese. Sips of his wine soothed his palate … After all there’s a lot in that vegetarian fine flavour of things from the earth.”
(Ulysses, Chapter 8: Lestrygonians)
