Niall Horan Teaches You How To Be Irish | Going Places | Condé Nast Traveler

hi I'm Niall Horan and today I'm going to teach you how to be Irish [Music] we use a lot of slang in Ireland and I'm going to show you through some of the words we use given it sucks given it sucks means giving it everything you've got give it sucks you know if you were trying to G someone up to make them do something you would say give it sucks of a Dublin slang word your bleeding can be followed by anything it could be your bleeding Gob shite you bleeding Aegis anything that's derogatory fits over here or it could be good it could be like yeah bleeding Legend is not something that I would use but it's the kind of thing like my granny would another word for you know you probably wouldn't understand either Gob shite basically idiot you're gone Bean another drug history term most of our terms are derogatory anything we can do to put someone down lashing whenever you see a word in Ireland that ends in ing take the g off we don't pronounce G's or t H's so this would be just lashing lashing means lashing rain hissing it down that's a national word lashing because it's always lashing Leggett Leggett means run as fast as you can if you're getting chased by someone you're absolutely legging it that's a good way of saying that he was running very fast next one losing the rag losing the rag means like losing the plot just losing it the rag basically is having it and then losing the rag is just losing it [Music] okay first one these things are not great these are old field Emerald chocolate caramels actually I'm gonna taste them because I always thought they had dark chocolate and as you can see they've got milk chocolate when I was growing up Oldfield made very bad sweets It's just that kind of you know that like the sweet that literally your grandmother will have and no one else oh they're not bad okay you're gonna need them I didn't think you were gonna need them but you will need them now next one relish ballymalu is a place in County Cork and they are famous for making this particular relish it's kind of like a more Gourmet version of a ketchup these are things that I would only ever have when I'm in Ireland and I kind of like that because it's just so Irish to me there's actually there's a tea bag I get on Amazon Barry's tea if you're going to Ireland stop and get Barry's tea bags such a nice tea honestly as you guys recall our English breakfast tea but um we just call it t next one potato tato is the national Irish as we call them crisps you call them chips this is just an Irish staple I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna try some here this is cheese and onion we're just so good at crisps oh Teo sandwich another great Irish delicacy two slices of bread some butter and a half a pack of potato in between them and it's absolutely magic last one jaffa cakes basically this is a soft biscuit bottom with like an orange filling and a dark chocolate top and they are they're incredible they are so nice I actually haven't had these in eggs oh I won't be eating them but they're just another gray Irish biscuit we do we do the confectionery side of things very well in our lovely little country the most important thing you need to know about Ireland Guinness Guinness is our national drink it's a stout the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin is one of the top tourist attractions on the planet it's a real thing of beauty in this stuff and I'm going to show you how you pour it first of all the glass I'm not sure about I'll have to have a chat off camera you don't pour Guinness like you would pour any other beer we're going to do a slow pour onto about there on the glass and as it fills to about two-thirds of the way we're gonna start to straighten it out and this can as flat as a pancake then you leave it to sit for a second you will see all the good stuff rushing down leave it to settle and then get back to it look at this piece of art they should put that in the National Gallery it's just absolutely gorgeous I just fall in love with it and it makes me feel proud to be Irish [Music] some things you should avoid doing if you're a tourist in Ireland don't tell anybody about your Irish lineage especially if you're not asked about it try not to speak in an Irish accent if it's not your National accent try not and get offended over banter it's only banter [Music] if you are planning a road trip to Ireland I'm gonna help you and tell you where you need to go here's Dublin it is the capital city of Ireland in Dublin you will find beautiful Coastline here we have Holt sandymount and in the city center you will find a fine array of many good pints of Guinness in many different pubs and we'll do a separate video for a list of all the great pubs I know in Dublin the first port to call for me when I go back to Ireland is try Guinness again the real good stuff is in Dublin and in Ireland so when I land the first thing I do is head for a pint no matter what time of the day it is if you do go from Dublin and head West you will find a fine town in the middle of the motorway called Mullingar the birthplace of myself here we have a small Market town of about 30 000 people with 26 pubs in one mile in Mullingar we have some great pubs with some great live music if I was to go anywhere I would go to the Cross Keys uh I would go to Dailies I would go to Clarks bar on Patrick Street which is a street I grew up on apart from that you can see there's a big mural of me on the wall can't miss it I look like this on it and then I would go and see Galway shop Street in Galway is a great Street and Salt Hill and Galway Bay some fine restaurants and some fine bars and just beautiful Irish hospitality and I would make my way along this Coastline here which is otherwise known as the wild Atlantic way this is a part of the world that every time I've seen it it was just mind-boggling to me how beautiful it is and I would make my way out the Dingle Dingle is possibly the best place in Ireland the reason people go to Ireland is if you want the beautiful Coastline from PS I love you they want to get the Irish traditional music they want the great hospitality and a lot of what makes Ireland incredible is happening all around these these parts of the world naturally into Killarney go to reedy's Pub On Main Street Killarney great fun and then start making your way along the South here into cork they would be the main parts of Ireland that I would hit if I was to go we're very lucky to have the coastline that we do for the shape there's a lot of Old Country Roads and mountainous driving where sheep are clinging onto the side of hills and tend to walk out in the middle of the road so just watch out for the Sheep foreign Athletic Association Gaelic football and hurling are the two main Irish Sports Gaelic football is basically soccer with the ball in your hand hurling is basically lacrosse on steroids it's like what baseball is to Americans you know it's the standout one gets the most viewers it's a big part of Irish culture the best place to go and see is probably here in Dublin Crow Park is our National Stadium playoff games and championship games are played Acro park in front of 90 000 people where else is good yeah core Kerry Limerick tip Claire they're the main good places to go and see and I'm Niall Horan from the Irish Taurus board your road trip around Ireland and tell them all I said hello when you see them thank you
