Mar. 15th, 2013 12:50 pmI brought Irish soda bread to work and was just treated to a 20 minute rant by crazy coworker about how it isn't REALLY Irish soda bread because I put raisins in it.
"Real Irish soda bread only contains four ingredients: flour, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk," she informed me. "None of this sugar, yeast, raisins, and caraway seeds nonsense. Is that how you made it?"
I told her I used flour, salt, baking soda, and buttermilk, and raisins, because I like raisins. And I brushed the top with a little sugar.
Her: "That's better than most, but it's still not REAL Irish soda bread."
Me: "Well, and also, I didn't make it in Ireland. Don't worry, you don't have to eat it."
She did not find that amusing, I must be losing my touch! And she went back to her desk, still ranting about fake irish soda bread and how it makes her crazy.
My other coworkers have enjoyed it though. :D
