Funerals - the way everyone in the village goes or stands outside their houses/shops to pay their respects to the dead. And the silence when the hearse is driven down the street.
I don't have 5 things

Buckfast is a drink. It's a fortified wine with caffeine, much loved by students all over the place.  |

1. I actually do love the language, grew up in a Gaeltacht!
2. Maybe I'm sad but the original Riverdance performance at Eurovision never fails to make me feel patriotic
3. The folklore and mythology are absolutely fascinating
4. So many talented Irish singers, Sinead O'Connor is a genius no matter what your thoughts on her character might be
5. Oscar Wilde is genuinely one of the funniest writers I've ever read. |

Irish language - labhair é!
Irish music - and not just trad.
The Irish community spirit and 'the craic'
Camogie/Hurling - they are badass athletes
And as someone said above - how we honour people who have passed away and show support to the family.

Theoretically I should like the Irish language but the Christian Brothers schooling system and the dogmatic domineering, shove it down your throat attitude of some Irish republicans and nationalists that I formerly knew has left with an abiding hatred of the Irish language, especially when spoken with a Belfast accent.
However, I love the Irish music, especially the type that is broadcast on RTE Radio One's Ceilidhe House on a Saturday night at 9.
I identify with that culture, although I have never once been to an event if that type. |

"1 music.
2 history
3 literature
4 our ability to find an Irish bar anywhere in the world 
5 comedy"
That 4th is deadly and this is reason we love Ireland |

I think it's such a shame about the Irish language really i do but some of the history behind is suggests at the time it wasn't an international language, and people needed to work outside of Ireland. |

Regrettably, cultural differences are rapidly being eroded, and cultures are being homogenised; I love old photographs from 150+ years ago when cultures were very different from each other.
Cultural differences are really fascinating, but are now wafer thin in the present era.
One communication quirk I recently experienced is the Indian head bobble; a movement of the skull that many residents of India and Pakistan use, almost instinctively. |

Ah Bucky, it's like the drink version of marmite. You either like it or hate it, I don't think it's possible to love it. Personally, I think it's vile!

But about BMW and tinted windows in the car I'm serious. It's only seems sarcastic for someone who never been in Eastern Europe so if one day you lost on holidays in Europe and you crossed some country border and you experience you see the same black BMW with tinted windows I assure you, you are in Poland lol |

Wow, no way?! In the south do they call potato bread something else? Or maybe it is a more northern thing. Totally understand the stew dislike though if you had that experience. |

Potato bread is widely available in shops all over the place. My mother used to make it a couple of times a week and it's one of my favourite foods. Lidl do a cheap but perfectly acceptable potato bread. |
