Cheddar cheese on lasagna? No. Never.
On the other hand, every restaurant here seems to bring a pitcher of iced water to the table when you order a glass of water. Me likey.
I guess it's a trade-off. And hey - I like Cheddar.
In other news, we took a coach tour of the Ring of Kerry today. Photos in a few days, as we are not exactly teched-up right now. It was very scenic, and we can confirm that tourist-based businesses are cheesy in every country. The landscape looks a lot like the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, or the coast of California near Monterey.
Company counts, too. A group consisting of two or three elderly women and three barely-out-of-their-teens girls shared our part of the coach. The ladies were aunts, the girls nieces. They were charming, especially when the girls started shooting pictures of the cars that risked instant death by passing our coach on the road (going in the other direction - the road was narrow, our coach wide). The aunts would gasp and say, 'here comes another one!' and the girls would lean into the aisle and snap a picture. Pass it around. Ooh and Aah. Repeat.
Too cute, they were.

If you are still in the Killarney area, we highly recommend the Ring of Dingle. Besides having a MUCH cuter name than the Ring of Kerry we found it less crowded than the Ring of Kerry and fantastic scenery.
And just a side note - no one goes to Ireland for the food.
Safe Travels! Deborah
Funny you should comment, because the girls on our bus reminded me of no one so much as those Hauss sisters: smiling, pretty, full of energy and fun, family-loving and obviously sweet-hearted.
As for food, we didn't expect much. But still. Your daughter got us all excited about oysters! None in sight.
Have you been to any non-tourist pubs? They are serve them there! I promise. and they are delicious.
You have to be on a coastal town though.... maybe that is the issue...
