I've made skittles vodka a few times, it's not a bad use of cheap shit vodka. Admittedly I haven't done it for about 16 years. I've made chili vodka a few times since then though.

iirc donegal is the one place in the republic where "ulster scots" is spoken which i suppose points to a scottish influx back in ye olden imperial days. also lots of scottish people of irish descent are of donegal descent (you can get a bus to donegal weekly from the gorbals) and id imagine quite a few have maintained links. my great uncle jimmy trudging around a donegal graveyard in the rain looking for his grandparents' graves and not finding them, me not wanting to be a spoilsport and inform him that Harley is an anglicization and it's possible the name might've been there rendered differently springs to mind.

Do they speak Ulster Scots in Donegal? I mean what is Ulster Scots other than Ulster English with the occasional Scots sprinkled about? There's a definite Scottishness about (some) Donegal accents but maybe that was always there.

Pretty much all of them that I know. Though a lot of those are related, often fairly distantly!

re: nosh
Never tire of revisiting this classic - https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/jul/23/mediamonkey
re: Ulster Scots
I believe it is still spoken in a few parts of Donegal (mainly towards the Derry end of things) but I've never encountered it in the wild
― Number None, Wednesday, 2 August 2017 23:13 (seven years ago) link
I thought nosh was polari, given the second meaning here
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/nosh
But i guess polari took words from everywhere.

I have no problem with nosh, but "nom nom" needs to stay out the actual world and stick to cutesy spaces like food Instagram and the Rachel Maddow show.
― President Keyes, Thursday, 3 August 2017 13:17 (seven years ago) link
Nosh always sounded annoyingly British to me so I'm surprised it's Yiddish
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Thursday, 3 August 2017 13:30 (seven years ago) link
If something is annoying British it's usually Hindi or Urdu.

Thankful that the most popular deli when I was growing up in Minneapolis advertised itself with the slogan 'kibbitz and nosh'.
