For England
“Deep England” – Used in cultural commentary to mean a nostalgic, often idealised England of village greens, parish churches, cricket, and the WI (Women’s Institute). Often slightly conservative in tone

The Gaeltacht – While technically referring to Irish-speaking regions, it often symbolises a culturally “untouched” Ireland in people’s minds.

What would the Irish and English equivalents be to “La France Profonde” ?
For Ireland would it be :
images of traditional music in small pubs, Irish-speaking areas, and rural villages.

Although to be fair now I feel a bit bloated, maybe it wasn’t sick a good idea
#fishandchips

Golden, crispy, wrapped in paper and best eaten by the sea. Nothing beats proper fish and chips. Salt, vinegar, maybe a pickled egg if you’re feeling wild. 🍟🐟 #FishAndChips
