Gear up for St. Patrick’s Day with this Irish car bomb cupcake recipe

Just testing to comment on this site

Whats sicko came up with that name.Whoever he/she was they have no right to call themselves Irish American.Think of the American screams of horror if someone in Ireland had come up with a cocktail called "Twin Towers Slammer"

Instead of castigating our abhorrence for the drink's current name... why not, we all pick new names and we'll proceed to vote for the most popular. How 'bout, "The (Irish) Death Coach" or "The Wailing Banshee"? Who's next?

Shame on Bernie Malone for writing this and shame on Irish Central for publishing it.

Niall WTF? I used to manage an "Irish" bar/restaurant on Ft Lauderdale Bch. When the tourist louts would order this crap I would inform them that if NYC was on their itinerary that they might want to avoid ordering it in a certain charming pub on 3rd ave in the 40s. Niall if one of Murdoch's outlets ran this "feature" you would be rightly call on us to protest. I hope you teach Mr or Ms Malone a little bit of sensitivity

Do you have a recipe for a Taliban Attack cupcake or a 9/11 cupcake? Racist idiots seem to run this site.

How can the editor of this Irish magazine print this deeply offensive garbage? No self-respect.

Its hard to think of a more offensive article - crass ignorance and blatant racism - furthered by idiotic writing, masquerading as a journalism. You should be ashamed of yourself, Bernie Malone, for finding such a thing worthy of report in any publication other than for denunciation.

Very Bad Taste indeed !! Shame on you for printing a completely pointless article . Are you all still living in the past and believing in Leprauchans and bejasus and begorrah and top o' the morning to yerself as well sir !! Its time some of your staff writers moved into the real world and realised how much Ireland has moved on while all the time america seems to be living in the past if that article is anything to go by? I know thats probably not the case but come on guys---what a waste of ink !!!

Bad taste! You yanks have no clue about what it was like living through the Troubles. Shame on you Irish Central for printing this. You should withdraw it immediately and apologize.

Liam (here below) is absolutely right! I think anyone who cares about Ireland, her people, and her history, should refrain from calling drinks - or cupcakes based on those drinks - "Irish car bombs". We're a clever peopl and good writers, so surely we can think of snappy titles that don't reference painful tragedies from such recent Irish history! Perhaps the drink/cupcake could be called "The Waking Ned", or some such thing.

Agreed!! In the first paragraph you mention "So many consider the Irish car bomb cocktail to be, at least, a little racist" Yet you still condone the use of the name!?!?! Show a bit of respect for the many families who've been touched by such violence and condemn the use of a name that is so offensive! Black & Tans were at least from 80 years ago...Car bombs are still fresh in everyone's mind!!

Really! Do we have to have this perpetuation of a deeply offensive name given by you Americans at a time when family members were being killed by such devices (And, NO, I don't mean the drink!).... Why not advertise the recipe for a Black and Tan and romanticise about them as well.... I despair at times....
