Honestly, I'd be on board with being closer to Ireland too. I'd take some cheese and whiskey, what do you want in return? You can pop over for some traditional Swabian dumplings (Maultaschen) too, if you'll invite me for something of your own make - I confess I'm not too familiar with typical Irish food, but I did have one banger Shepherd's Pie at an "Irish Pub" around here once. I'm up for whatever.
