I’m sure everybody knows about the Ben & Jerry Yes, Pecan Obama-homage flavour that made the rounds of the internet last year. Lately, there’s been flavour ideas for departed President Bush including some of my favourites: Nut’n Accomplished, Abu Grape, Cluster Fudge, Iraqi Road, Chock ‘n Awe, WireTapioca, imPeachmint, and Chunky Monkey in Chief.
That got me thinking about what ice cream flavour would best explain the current Irish predicament. Here are 20 of my ideas. I’d love to hear your own suggestions (or your favourite one of these). Maybe we can do something with them!

Jaysus Kieran you’ve been busy!
Pls, no… Murphy’s Ice cream supposed to spread happiness, I don’t want to hear about recession…
You’re probably right, Monica, and I’ve been doing my best to keep it away. Still, can one really avoid the elephant in the room? I was hoping to at least bring a smile with it and hopefully the notion that for all the troubles out there life will go on in any case and we may as well keep a bit of humour about things…
Twice cooked books? Rum and recession?
How about Frugal Fudge?!
