[Ads-l] "Gaelic and garlic"

[Joel Berson]

or perhaps less frequently "garlic and Gaelic".  Not mysterious -- mixed Irish and Italian, in population, neighborhood, cuisine, etc. -- but new to me, as far as I can remember.  And I live in the Boston metropolitan area.

Any research on this?  Including first appearance and regionality.

Joel
