So the group all live in the house, or are outsiders invited in to partake of the repast?

Sounds homely. Pity you can't have an open turf fire; Bord na Mona - those were the days! Still; they can't stop you drinking a hot whisky.

@lovelife31 There is the[i] lack of a family bond[/i] in the US among those of us who are [i]not family oriented[/i]. That much is true.

As I have read in the past that Ireland is actually an Island. That has had a static population of somewhere around 2 million residents living on its home soil, with perhaps as many as two million more residing and employed in foriegn lands.
Also, that for at least two generations, it's exiting citizens are permitted to reclaim their Irish citizenship if they should (and often do) return to live in Ireland.
This arrangement clearly rewards and benefits every family in that country if this is all true.
So it's only logical that the Irish would have even more reason to hold family values with such high regard. It's always a sanctuary for an Irish prodigal son, so to speak.
Yup.
