    That’s correct – brownies are not cobblers. Both are quite tasty, though!

    And now I need an excuse to yell, “For Puff’s sake!” Unfortunately, while my hair tends to have a mind of its own, I doubt it can reach Elvis levels of poofiness no matter how annoyed I am.

    For Puff’s sake? Did Elvis learn to read from the Dick, Jane and Sally books? They had a cat named Puff!

    If we’re going to have to go through all of Celtic folklore like this, we could be here a while. I’ll go get drinks.

    I thought it was the Good Luck Elves who help the cobblers make their shoes! (remembering all I learned from the film The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm )

    In case you don’t know what is a leprechaun, a leprechaun is an Irish man who has brownish red beard and also who protects the gold pots.

    Someone should warn them that messing about with any of the Fey is very dangerous, even their most benign actions are costly and many are downright malevolent.

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    Thomios: My royal friends, I have prepared for you several dishes containing the vegetable known as potatoes.

    Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Very delicious. I am especially fond of this one called boxty. Did it come in boxes?

    Thomios: Yes. But I don’t think that’s how it got its name.

    Puckmosis: I also like the bacon and cabbage. I’m glad you decided to hold back the ham.

    Elvis-Anum: This coddle is sublime. What goes into it?

    Thomios: It’s different every time.

    Lupinium: And nothing beats the occasional fish.

    Beatrixia: But all these ingredients are from the far-off land of Eireann. How did you manage to get them?

    Thomios: All I know is the note that came with them:

    Note: Ní bheidh muid choíche.*

    *We’ll never tell.

    Note: I gleaned most of my information off the internet. Any mistakes are mine. Happy St. Patrick’s Week to all my Irish Orb friends. And this week we’re all Irish!

    It’s a fine point of distinction, but cobblers traditionally repair shoes; cordwainers are the ones who make new shoes.

    True story. My dad was a cabinet maker and carpenter who lived his early years in Europe. He told me that when they learned the trade, as they went through training those who did not show the requisite skill, were sent to become shoemakers. (Apoligies to those needed). Later in life as I attempted to help him with his projects or on my own, he would at times refer to me as a shoemaker. Ok enough of that

    This reminds me of the wizards of Unseen University, on the Discworld, who liked to attack problems through “the state known as Hubbub” – everyone talking at once and arguing at cross-purposes until either A) the solution became obvious, B) the situation changed, C) Archchancellor Ridcully yelled at them all, or D) the monster gave up and went away.

    Brownies are the ones who stay up all night with cobblers and help out by baking treats and selling them to the cobblers. :)

    Good question. They aren’t found in Irish mythology and appear to be quite recent. Typical sprites—generally good humored and benign but easily annoyed.

    I remember being told about brownies as part of our moving from Daisies to Brownies in Girl Scouts. It was certainly “folklore lite,” as I learned later that they were not just sweet do-gooders, often being prankish, petulant, and even malicious. They also did not work for free out of the kindess of their hearts—payment was required. Girl Scouts were very selective in the telling to try to get us to be helpful and selfless.

    In traditional Irish mythology, a leprechaun’s trade is being a cobbler.

    Puck was right about making shoes. Leprechauns are shoe makers and pranksters. Brownies are household spirits which preform various chores around the house after everyone’s gone to bed at night. All they ask for in return is a bowl of milk or cream left near the hearth (which probably explains why there are so many fewer these days) and to be treated kindly. Ill treatment and they’ll turn malicious.

    A leprechaun (Irish: leipreachán/luchorpán) is a diminutive supernatural being in Irish folklore, classed by some as a type of solitary fairy.
