Ireland is fairly "White-bread-mayo" it must be said. However, it's been improving a lot over the years.

As far as I'm aware though, there is only one Sichuan restaurant in Dublin (not that I've done an authoritative survey), the rest being more conventional Cantonese style. That single Sichuan restuarant is fairly popular, and it probably was using Sichuan peppers, but I wasn't noticing due to the fact that every meal I ate there I was continuously dousing a fire in my mouth!
