Conclusively proving that I am not immune to pre-movie commercials, I ordered Stella Artois at the latest Theology on Tap session at Ireland's Four Fields. You know the ads, ostensibly set in early-20th-century France with little or no dialog, ending with the slogan "Perfection has its price"? Well, from my experience, that price is not $5.25. I didn't hate it, but I drank only half the glass. The cider was better.

Also, I finally decided to by the pub's Irish nachos, which are basically waffle fries with nacho toppings. Tasty, but with two glaring problems: They're messy for finger food, and the portions are awfully large for an appetizer. I wouldn't buy them again without someone else wanting about half.

I have the same problems with appetizers, way too much food for one person, and they're usually greasy.

You have much to learn, Grasshopper. A pub serves big appetizers because you're supposed to be sharing them with someone, preferably with someone of the opposite gender. They are also greasy and salty, which makes you thirsty, which makes you buy more drinks.

The point of going to a pub is to be sociable, not merely to get blasted. That's what sports bars are for :)
