Coddlepot
There was great excitement last night at 1am (Irish time) with the launch of the greatly anticipated Coddlepot.
Do you remember me telling you what the Irish dish coddle is? Well this is its bloggy equivalent in a magazine style - starring “two Manuels, one Sweary and a lovely homemade Flann”.
You’ll know these writers from the last several years if you’ve been reading blogs out of Ireland at all - and you really should be if you’re interested in whatever Ireland is rather than just saying you’re interested in Ireland.
Whenever I made coddle in Kansas City I couldn’t help but notice that the locals talked about it - a lot - but never actually indulged in it. Well I suggest you at least try this bloggy coddle - for some real Irish flavours.
Coddle as a blog?
Watery rashers? Boiled sausages? Onions that induce heart-attacks? It’s an eccentric, contrary mess of satisfying meatiness, and doesn’t that echo beautifully as an aspiration for a motley mob of moderately funny Irish writers? A fire under our collective arse, a peppery pout, and the unfortunate glimpse of vegetable … this is Coddle Pot
Following the launch of Culch.ie and the expansion and magazinification of Bock The Robber, the birth of Coddle Pot is making 2009 a very interesting year in Irish blog world.
