‘Irish Car Bomb’ pie sells out at popular New York food market

seanomelb as I have said my 'take' as you put in, on history is narrow because I have no room to manoeuvre. Telling the truth has that effect. Not that you worry yourself with such fine details as truth. Your feeble attempt to smear the security forces belies the lack of hard fact. Majella O'Hare, killed by British Army 14 August 1972, wouldn't have been shot had the army not been there. Unfortunately the solders were there due to a number of secarian murders in the vicinity. There was also the ongoing republican terror attacks in reprisal for the restoration of law and order to both republican and loyalist 'no go' areas effected by Operation Motorman on 31 July 1972. The soldier, Private Michael Williams, firing three shots, from a general purpose machinegun claimed self defense, which the RUC, those black protestant bastards, disagreed with and sent him up for trial initially on a murder charge which was later reduced to manslaughter. Lord Justice Maurice Gibson, later Sir Maurice Gibson, sitting alone decided that there may have been a threat and that a gunman could have fired and so found WIlliams innocent of the charge. The judge and his wife were blown up by PIRA on 27th April 1987. These are facts. If you want to make a point describe it fully. Others can then decide what to make of it.

Go by a pie Dano. You have no idea where I was at any given time. Maybe you gave succour to child killing pommy soldiers who knows Dumbo.

Seano - maybe it was your contributions to 'the cause' that bought the timers of the bombs that killed many innocent children in NI? Of course you were safe on the other side of the world...what a hero!!!

If you think I am a yank your sadly mistaken Dublin born and proud.Your take on history is narrow as can be expected from a couple of tommies who murdered nationalists children on the streets of Belfast.Maybe you're the "brave Tommy" who murdered Majella 12yr.old shot at point blank range for refusing to answer your question or maybe the retarded 17yr.old shot because he didn't answer a question fast enough or maybe the teenage joyriders who had over a 100 rounds pumped into the their stolen car and to add insult to injury on your return to barracks you built a mock-up of the bullet ridden car and having a great laugh and stupidly photographing it.The press ran the photo so all the world could see what low lives you are.

Belphagor, Feeling is mutual here. When I first read the comments in ICs' forums I couldn't believe how misinformed both the editorial and readership was. However, it's quite evident that the editorial is supervised by devotee's of the Joseph Goebbels School of Deception and Dissembling and really is a propaganda front with the objective of brainwashing Irish Americans into believing the trash it writes. The readership of the republican viewpoint seem to respond to the articles with tried and tested rants but when challenged become strangely silent when confronted with facts. Any challenge is usually a childish attack on character rather than substance of criticism. I know I shouldn't say this but I really feel sorry for these people. I've lived through the troubles in Belfast, been in the British Army stationed in the Province for 10 years. I've recovered bodies and bits of bodies as the result of bomb and gun attacks but I have no hatred of republicans or anyone except the murderous thugs that killed so many innocent people on both sides.

Schon, Citizen69 it's nice to hear some normal people on here.

seanomelb Nice to see you so contrite , but less of the wise cracks. Read and learn about what your murdering republican heros have done. What do you think of Alice Cronin? Makes you proud to be a Yank, what? Really it just shows how shallow, ignorant and puerile American culture is.

Considering the level of knowledge of the Troubles reported by this site and the misinformed or dissembling responses by the apologists for the murdering republican terrorists, it's not to be surprising.

...(cont)Victims of the IRA's almost countless atrocities are swept under the carpet here on IC. Irish people who died at the hands of the IRA just don't seem worthy of remembrance here on this site. Anyone here who may be still under the illusion that Irish Central is a place to come to find a balanced and unbiased reflection of what is happening in Ireland are greatly mistaken. Editor-in-Chief Niall O'Dowd basically uses this site as a propaganda tool for his best-est buddy Gerry Adams & Sinn Fein. It's a site that doesn't regard the Protestant/Unionist population in the North as Irish. Some people wonder why a lot of Irish-Americans are so ill-informed about the situation in Ireland. It's because of sites like this that deliberately feed their American audience with very selective hand-picked news that suits their agenda. A word of advice for any tourists; never ask for an ‘Irish Car Bomb’ in a Northern Irish pub. You’ll most likely find your ignorant ass kick out into the street.

One might wonder why Irish Central hasn’t prefixed the headline for this article with their usual hyperbole of 'Shock' or 'Outrage as store sells Irish Car Bomb pies’. The answer is quite simple, they are not outraged. The original drink was named after the IRA and their tactic of placing bombs in cars… and you see, in Irish Central's view innocent victims of IRA violence are just not as noteworthy or as important to them as innocent victims of British violence. To highlight my point; Last Saturday was the 40th anniversary of Bloody Friday. An infamous July day in 1972 when the IRA planted 26 car bombs around the city of Belfast (22 exploded), slaughtering innocent men, women & children. All the car bombs were planted in public places at lunch-time on the busiest day of the week; outside shops, inside bus & rail stations, at taxi depots, pubs, hotels, outside houses & banks. Not one word about this milestone anniversary was published here on I.C. even though it was all over the media in Ireland. Yet you will find countless articles here about Bloody Sunday and other acts of 'British' violence...

So here we have an insensitive item marketed with the name of a weapon that was used to kill hundreds of innocent people and Irish Central focuses on "The bitterness of the Guinness worked especially well in the chocolate ganache, adding real sophistication." I find nothing "sophisticated" at all by this crass and ignorant marketing. I find it interesting that this is coming from Brooklyn, the current epicenter of Political Correct Yuppies who would be the first to protest a name that defamed any other group and Irish Central should know that such defamation should be spoken out against not given a food review.

mmmmmikkimac, i hope you choke on it and when you are lying on the ground drawing your last breath give a thought for all those little children, innocent women and men, part-time police officers and Army reservists who were going about there own business when BANG! they were blown to bits and pieces. Enjoy your Racist Pie.

Sounds delicious! Similar to the Kentucky Derby pie! Both have to be winners! Now, how much do they cost? And can I get one shipped to the middle of Iowa?

The low-information [ Republican ,US that is, speak for dumbbells} people can't seem to help being themselves They don't all spend their time at Walmart, some run pie stores in NY

I find the very idea of reporting this as a chance to challenge some of the rose coloured images that Irish American lobby have missed in the years past. The pie itself may indeed be very tasty but the thought of someone naming it after terrorist act is like someone in Canada calling a desert 9/11. It may seem funny to the creator, probably 1 person out of millions but its still as horrific to people from N.Ireland as the thought of twin towers terrorist attack cake would be to any New Yorker. Please pause to think before replying.
