6 Recipes to Celebrate Bloomsday in Quarantine

Food is one of the best ways to get closer to a culture, whether real or fictional, so as part of my social distancing Bloomsday celebrations this year, I wanted to try out some Ulysses-inspired meals. Unlike Mr. Bloom, I do not relish organ meats, but there are plenty of other tempting foods that Bloom eats and thinks about over the course of the novel, especially in the chapter “Lestrygonians.” Most famous is the gorgonzola sandwich that he orders when contemplating vegetarianism at Davy Byrnes Pub — a real pub in Dublin that still offers this sandwich on the menu. This meal is of course number one on my list, but I found a wealth of other Ulysses-related recipes that yielded delicious results.
