Where in the world is Mulligatawny?

[Ian H]

Clarification: yes, it's a soup, not a place.

... but it sounds like it should be a small town in Oirland or Scotchland.

Is there a settlement with a similar arrangement of letters in the British Isles?

I've been to Trincomalee, but never to Mulligatawny.

I heard you can catch mullet from mulligatawny.

 

[lenfield]

It sounds like a place in a children's TV series.

Don't be ridiculous, Mulligatawny is clearly a soup, not a town, said the spokesperson from Sandwich.

Did you know Sandwich is twinned with the Italian town of Subway Footlong?

When I first met Moon Bunny of this forum, she told me, with a completely dead-pan face, that she was originally from the small village of Colcannon, in County Tyrone. I believed her until I tried to find it on a map.

I partially understand this reference. 👍

A "mulligan" is a golf term for a retaken shot. I presume that is the bit you didn't get

I thought it was twinned with Cheddar and Branston?

 

[No Ta Doctor]

Is it not next door to Minestrone in Italy

Life is a Minestrone

No, it's twinned with Ham, or at least close by.

 

[Alex321]

No, it's twinned with Ham, or at least close by.

And I always expected it to be twinned with Egg & Mayo (Austria and Ireland respectively).

Famous sign ....

Mulligatawny Soup was invented by Spike Milligan in the 1950's, as a quick lunch whilst recording episodes of The Goon Show, it was initially called Milligantawny, but the posh BBC producer with a lisp kept pronouncing it wrong, until the name Mulligatawny eventually stuck due to Peter Sellers & Harry Secombe constantly refering to it as such

Also the Ham Sandwich Deal, which includes a packet of crisps a fizzy drink.
