How Do You Say "DAMNED GOOD" in Gaelic?

Celtic Foods is a new food cart in downtown Portland, Oregon off of SW 3rd and Stark. You'll find it ran by Mike and Donovan.

I know what you're thinking...WHERE'S THE HAGGIS? If you ask nicely and open your wallet, you may be able to get Mike and Donovan to make you a haggis, but it won't happen on the spot.

What you'll get on the spot is some damned good Celtic food.

"I make my Limerick sausage using the old traditional recipe," Mike told me. He also informed me that he cures his own bacon.

I got the Jacobite, which was on special for the day. It was a patty of limerick sausage, bacon, and an egg on a bun with some sauce. You could "Charles Edward Stuart" (Bonnie Prince Charlie) the fare and make it twice as big for at the time, $6. However I overheard Mike tell Donovan that he will be raising the "Charles..." size to $7.

I also had sausage rolls. Limerick sausage rolled in I believe to be filo dough. DAMNED GOOD!

The food is great and and so are the prices. Celtic foods is opened for breakfast as well.

Celtic Foods hours are from 7am-3pm (sometimes an houror two later) Monday-Thursday and 7am-midnight on Fridays. I've heard tell that they may be doing some weekend business, but not at that particular location.

So get on down to downtown Portland and have some damned good Celtic Food.
Ask Donovan about the weiner dog races.
