Irish soda bread is adorned with an X and eaten with many meals including holidays. The Cathoilcs said it was the sign of the cross and put there to ward off any evil. Actually, the scoring of the precooked loaf helps the bread rise and designates individual portions.

Do the Irish like the British?

Not generally. Northern Ireland is owned by England and the Irish have been rebelling and trying to free Northern Ireland. The Irish National Liberation Army, a paramilitary group, was formed in 1974 with the intention of freeing Northern Ireland. Typically there is a fierce rivalry between British and Irish people; to the extent of violence. The clash dates back to the Middle ages when English nobility visited Ireland, and reported the people as being lazy, fifthly, incestuous, and backward. That bread centuries of discrimination against the Irish by the English and other ethnic groups. Now it's more along religious lines (Prodestent vs Catholic). The Irish are the Catholics. British Prodestents.
