In Italy and I guess France but I am not sure, you pay far less to
stand at the "bar" and eat or to take it away, but if you want to eat
at a table that same food will cost more.

I had a good time in an Irish Pub in Copenhagen. We had wanted to take
someone out for some drinks because he had worked so hard to help us out with
some family stuff and we knew that someone else was getting the credit. He had
suggested the spot. It was a nice place, and one of the very few places we
found in that country were prices didn't make us almost faint.

Are you serious? And how do they know? Are there Starbucks that
actually have table service? Is this commom practice at other eating
establishments, this butt space pricing versus foot space pricing?

I don't know about Italy, but in many parts of western Europe, service is
automatically included in the price. If something says 5 Euros, it's 5
Euros, tax and service included.

The guy(s) who run those Irish pub franchises are good businessmen. They
can ship an "authentic" Irish pub most anywhere in the world and have it up
and running in no time...

When the Iron Curtain started breaking up Irish pubs were often the first
"western" - type businesses that opened up in some of these countries. IIRC
there was one opened at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in the late 80's or
so, it was the first private business to open in that airport. Of course
that also may have had something to do with Air Rianta (Irish Airports
Authority) being given the franchise to operate the duty - frees at some
Russian airports...

Unlike the American franchise McDonalds, Irish pubs don't carry any
"cultural imperialism", etc. baggage. I mean who doesn't love an Irish pub?
Some French farmer isn't going to attack the place and in India you don't
have to adjust to local vegan food customs, etc., etc...

Canny business people those Irish!

Wow. Cigarette smoking gets up my nose, physically. My eyes sting, my
throat hurts. 2nd hand cigarette smoke is one the biggest drawbacks on
the otherwise pleasurable pursuit of travel. My worst reaction to
someone putting their feet up on a chair would be mild indignance, but
I'd still be OK. They'd have to have _very_ smelly feet for it to have a
physical effect. I'm genuinely surprised you can equate the two- and for
the record, I don't think it's "OK" to put your feet up on seats- or at
least, I don't do it.

Just have lots of beer and whiskey and the Irish will come :-)
There is one in a city near here. Some friends of mine play there, Irish music
of course.

Irish cuisine, and i use the term loosely, is a lot of meat and potatoes, so
vegetarians are pretty much SOL on that account. No self respecting Irishmen is
going to cook up a batch of Irish Vegan Stew with tofu instead of lamb.

They only have so much table and chair space. I know this is for sure
in Firenze/Florence. They ask if you are eating in or not. Makes
sense to me.

I do not know about Starbucks because although they are on every
street corner, I never have visited one. (We bring our own coffee or
have it shipped. We are coffee farmers after all<g>.) I am talking
about lunch or dinner places.

Almost all prices in Europe include VAT or other sales tax. I say

We have an English pub here in Ottawa that puts on the green for Saint
Patrick's Day. I find that a bit bizarre.

The main reason for Irish pubs abroad is to give Irish expats an
excuse for staying in a foreign country. Anyone can open a pub.

At least half the attraction of food is based on scent. Unless everything
you eat contains pepperoni, it's pretty hard for food aromas to cut through
a haze of smoke. And, by the way, I smoke, but never in the house, and never
around people who are eating.

And unless your meal contains lots of Parmesan or Romano cheese, smelly feet
would cause loss of appetite at the very least. Last time I checked, nobody
puts smelly cheese in their coffee, even at Starbucks.

Anyone who goes to Starbucks in the first place has to have his head
examined. Overpriced yuppie junk.

And worse yet, the jerk goes to one in Europe! If you're going to do that,
stay home!

In Italy, when the menu says your drink costs X, many cafes will charge
you:

X if you drink it at the counter

2X if you sit at a table inside

3X if you sit at a table outside

In France there's generally a small difference between counter and
table prices, but not like in Italy.

That's a separate issue. Restaurants usually add the tip to the bill
in most of Europe, but cafes usually don't.

He went into a non-smoking establishment, where no one was smoking when he

Thank you for confirming to the French that all Americans are

behavior that is tolerated in teh Us will equally be tolerated
elsewhere.
