Ireland.

Parents came over here when I was eighteen. Cereal famine. Couldn’t get a bowl anywhere. Bad. ‘Tis a beautiful country though; lush rolling hills, and the peat, ah the peat.

My Mother was Irish and once tried to bring a block of peat back with her in her carry on. Took a while to convince the customs people it wasn’t smokable. As a fuel it barely burns and doesn’t heat at all. Makes those cute cottages cold as hell in the winter.
