22 reasons living in Cork will ruin you for life
YOU DEFINITELY WOULDN’T want to spend time in Cork.
It’ll ruin you.
1. Firstly, because there are places that LOOK LIKE THIS
2. Seriously. All the way from the Blackwater…
3. … up to the moment you crest the Healy Pass.
4. Because you’d be too used to the hospitality.
5. Because there is a cake called ‘gudge’ that is actually delicious
Did they give it that name to put outsiders off? We may never know.
6. And because no chicken burger will ever equal the Breast In A Bun
7. Because you can literally look out into the Atlantic and see nothing for, ooh, 4,000km or so
8. Or just check out the sky. Pretty much anywhere.
9. Because… look, can we just take a minute for Clonakilty black pudding? Yeah, that’s right.
Moment of silence. Drooling silence.
10. And because it’s practically the only place in Ireland where good seafood just… happens
Yeah there’s a steak under there. What’s it to you?
11. OK, now let’s talk about Cork city. Because it’s known to outsiders as ‘like the good bits of Dublin, compressed and somehow… better’
12. Because some of the best pubs in the world are in Ireland. Some of the best pubs in Ireland are in Cork.
13. And because this little ol’ place also somehow manages to be home to one of the most vibrant, engaged music and cultural scenes in the country
14. (Also, because it’s the only city in the world that has invented a genuinely effective hangover cure)
15. Because spiced beef is a criminally unappreciated, soul-nourishing delicacy
16. ~silent drooling~
17. Because, go where you want in the world, there’s nothing quite like the beach at Inchydoney on a summer’s day
18. Because in Cork even the graffiti artists are looking out for ya
19. Because Cork can do spooky
20. Or spectacular
21. Or just plain… special
22. And finally, because if you haven’t lived in Cork you wouldn’t understand.
Dowcha biy.
