Leopold Bloom's lunch: a glass of Burgundy and a Gorgonzola cheese sandwich (with a pint of "Shandygaff" [U 8.736]):
8.732. He entered Davy Byrne's. Moral pub. He doesn't chat. Stands a
8.733. drink now and then. But in leapyear once in four. Cashed a cheque for me
8.734. once.
8.735. What will I take now? He drew his watch. Let me see now.
8.736. Shandygaff?
8.737. --Hello, Bloom, Nosey Flynn said from his nook.
8.738. --Hello, Flynn.
8.739. --How's things?
8.740. --Tiptop ... Let me see. I'll take a glass of burgundy and ... let me see.
8.741. Sardines on the shelves. Almost taste them by looking. Sandwich?
8.742. Ham and his descendants musterred and bred there. Potted meats. What is
8.743. home without Plumtree's potted meat? Incomplete. What a stupid ad!
8.744. Under the obituary notices they stuck it. All up a plumtree. Dignam's
8.745. potted meat. Cannibals would with lemon and rice. White missionary too
8.746. salty. Like pickled pork. Expect the chief consumes the parts of honour.
8.747. Ought to be tough from exercise. His wives in a row to watch the effect.
8.748. There was a right royal old nigger. Who ate or something the somethings of
8.749. the reverend Mr MacTrigger. With it an abode of bliss. Lord knows what
8.750. concoction. Cauls mouldy tripes windpipes faked and minced up. Puzzle
8.751. find the meat. Kosher. No meat and milk together. Hygiene that was what
8.752. they call now. Yom Kippur fast spring cleaning of inside. Peace and war
8.753. depend on some fellow's digestion. Religions. Christmas turkeys and geese.
8.754. Slaughter of innocents. Eat drink and be merry. Then casual wards full
8.755. after. Heads bandaged. Cheese digests all but itself. Mity cheese.
8.756. --Have you a cheese sandwich?
8.757. --Yes, sir.
8.758. Like a few olives too if they had them. Italian I prefer. Good glass of
8.759. burgundy take away that. Lubricate. A nice salad, cool as a cucumber, Tom
8.760. Kernan can dress. Puts gusto into it. Pure olive oil. Milly served me that
8.761. cutlet with a sprig of parsley. Take one Spanish onion. God made food, the
8.762. devil the cooks. Devilled crab.
8.763. --Wife well?
8.764. --Quite well, thanks .... A cheese sandwich, then. Gorgonzola, have you?
8.765. --Yes, sir.

Irish Oyster
In Ulysses, John Henry Menton has "oyster eyes" (U 6.1031, 8.322, 10.1230).
It is noted that both Bloom and Molly knew that oysters has sexual effect and thought that Blazes Boylan ate oysters at Burton Bindon's Red Bank Restaurant at 19-20 D'Olier Street, outside of which Bloom saw Blazes Boylan from a funeral coach in the morning (U 6.196-99).
According to Don Gifford's "Ulysses" Annotated (1988): "The combination of champagne and oysters was supposed to be an aphrodisiac. Oysters from the red-bank beds in County Clare on the west coast of Ireland were advertised in Dublin as the best of Irish oysters by Burton Bindon's restaurant at 19-20 D'Olier Street, outside of which Bloom saw Boylan earlier in the day (U 6.196-99)" (Gifford 181).
8.860. Johnny Magories. Roundness you think good. Gaudy colour warns you
8.861. off. One fellow told another and so on. Try it on the dog first. Led on by the
8.862. smell or the look. Tempting fruit. Ice cones. Cream. Instinct. Orangegroves
8.863. for instance. Need artificial irrigation. Bleibtreustrasse. Yes but what about
8.864. oysters. Unsightly like a clot of phlegm. Filthy shells. Devil to open them
8.865. too. Who found them out? Garbage, sewage they feed on. Fizz and Red
8.866. bank oysters. Effect on the sexual. Aphrodis. He was in the Red Bank this
8.867. morning. Was he oysters old fish at table perhaps he young flesh in bed no
8.868. June has no ar no oysters. But there are people like things high. Tainted
8.869. game. Jugged hare. First catch your hare. Chinese eating eggs fifty years
8.870. old, blue and green again. Dinner of thirty courses. Each dish harmless
8.871. might mix inside. Idea for a poison mystery. That archduke Leopold was it
8.872. no yes or was it Otto one of those Habsburgs? Or who was it used to eat
8.873. the scruff off his own head? Cheapest lunch in town. Of course aristocrats,
8.874. then the others copy to be in the fashion. Milly too rock oil and flour. Raw
8.875. pastry I like myself. Half the catch of oysters they throw back in the sea to
8.876. keep up the price. Cheap no-one would buy. Caviare. Do the grand. Hock
8.877. in green glasses. Swell blowout. Lady this. Powdered bosom pearls. The
8.878. elite. Creme de la creme. They want special dishes to pretend they're.
The citizen also ate at least one Redbank oyster that day:
12.1432. The citizen said nothing only cleared the spit out of his gullet and,
12.1433. gob, he spat a Red bank oyster out of him right in the corner.
Even Bloom has a healing power after eating twelve dozen oysters (shell included) in the hallucination:
15.1841. (Bloom walks on a net, covers his left eye with his left ear, passes
15.1842. through several walls, climbs Nelson's Pillar, hangs from the top
15.1843. ledge by his eyelids, eats twelve dozen oysters (shells included),
15.1844. heals several sufferers from king's evil, contracts his face so as to
15.1845. resemble many historical personages, Lord Beaconsfield, Lord
15.1846. Byron, Wat Tyler, Moses of Egypt, Moses Maimonides, Moses
15.1847. Mendelssohn, Henry Irving, Rip van Winkle, Kossuth, Jean Jacques
15.1848. Rousseau, Baron Leopold Rothschild, Robinson Crusoe, Sherlock
15.1849. Holmes, Pasteur, turns each foot simultaneously in different
15.1850. directions, bids the tide turn back, eclipses the sun by extending his
15.1851. little finger.)
Virag mentions the effect of Redbank oysters (U 15.2431-2442).
Finally Molly's guess after the affair with Boylan:
18.143. have one yes when I lit the lamp because he must have come 3 or 4 times
18.144. with that tremendous big red brute of a thing he has I thought the vein or
18.145. whatever the dickens they call it was going to burst though his nose is not
18.146. so big after I took off all my things with the blinds down after my hours
18.147. dressing and perfuming and combing it like iron or some kind of a thick
18.148. crowbar standing all the time he must have eaten oysters I think a few
18.149. dozen he was in great singing voice no I never in all my life felt anyone had
18.150. one the size of that to make you feel full up he must have eaten a whole

St. Patrick's Cathedral has contributed much to Irish life throughout its long history. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was Dean from 1713 - 1745. Handel's Messiah received its first performance in Dublin in 1742 sung by the combined choirs of St. Patrick's and Christ Church Cathedrals. Living Stones, the cathedral's permanent exhibition, celebrates St. Patrick's place in the life of the city, its history and its role in a fast changing world. It emphasizes that the cathedral is not a museum but a building embracing the past to herald the future.
Go to: the official site of The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of Saint Patrick, Dublin or "St. Patrick's Cathedral." This Anglican church is located in Patrick Close, Dublin 8.

Noel Coward's comedy Private Lives is on the run! (I saw it on 21 July, 2007.) Not bad.
