Black & Tan ice-cream leaves the Irish cold

The-cream brand Ben & Jerry's has been forced to apologise to its Irish customers after releasing a new flavour dubbed Black & Tan. In its defence, the American company claimed that the ice-cream had been named in honour of the classic mixture of stout and pale ale, and not the notorious 8,000-strong British irregular force that arrived in Ireland in 1920 and is remembered chiefly for its habit of firing indiscriminately on crowds of civilians.
