Known for making sure their own children, no matter what age, are okay and fully fed, they will often resist any attempts by others to make a fuss of them. This tweet from radio presenter Marty Miller probably illustrates this perfectly.

Such an Irish mammy response, and we have no doubt it was a better meal than any restaurant could have served up!
