The “Protestants love soup” line probably went over most of the non-Irish viewers heads.

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

@@quierocomerteabesos It's a term that dates back to the Irish Famine in the 1840s. The potato crop that sustained most Irish Catholic farmers failed, and it's estimated that a million people died and a million emigrated in fairly desperate conditions. In the midst of this, some Protestant churches saw an opportunity to increase the size of their flock, and offered soup to the starving Catholics, on condition that they recant their faith and become Protestants. I've also read that they served meat soup (forbidden to Catholics) on Fridays, but I'm not sure how reliable that story is to be fair. Now, to most of us, it's a fairly logical decision to take the soup and avoid starving. However, those who did were looked upon with scorn by those who toughed it out, and became known (in a derogatory way) as "soupers" or "those who took the soup". Basically, it implied that such people lacked moral fibre. Mad, I know. To this day, there are some Irish Protestants bearing very Catholic-sounding surnames who are suspected of being descendants of "soupers". Prominent suspects in this regard include ex-RUC Chief Constable Ronnie Flanagan; loyalist mass murderer Lenny Murphy; and BBC radio presenter Stephen Nolan. Hence the "Protestants love soup" line. Hope that explains it.

Lemon Cake You’re welcome! Great show is Derry Girls, hard to believe a show like this has been such a big hit overseas.

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

Nolwenn Appelbaum Not really sure there’s any deeper meaning to that one tbh. Most Irish Catholics keep theirs in open view on the kitchen counter. I did a line with a Protestant woman once who had her’s in the cupboard. Mind you, most of the Twitterati seem to agree with the comparison... Holy shops, on the other hand, are an exclusively Catholic thing. As is RTÉ in the context of NI, and the GAA (by and large).

[@TheLastAngryMan01]

@Nolwenn Appelbaum They're shops that sell religious items such as holy communion dresses, crucifixes, holy water, beads, icons etc.

“This is an exercise I like to start off with.” - sister Michael: throws head back dramatically and sighs, “oh lord, give me strength!” I love her man!

[@arielenriquez8750]

This is such a funny show. These young actors are super talented and the writing is hilarious. The comic timing in these youngsters is awesome. Well be seeing a lot of them in the future. For sure.

[@soccerchamp0511]

I'm an American. But my Mom's family is Catholic and my Dad's is Protestant, which was problematic back in the day even here in America, so I love this show because it highlights how ridiculous the conflict between the two is.

[@dmitrybykov1931]

When Orla raises her hand and says childishly, “Sister, Michael! I don’t have a Protestant! " while at the same time wearing the elements of the IRA field uniform (especially that green beret!) kills me on the spot!))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[@WhaleTart]

Have you listened to their interviews? They said that Orla did quite a lot of physical acting, she used props a lot such as the big sucker etc etc. I missed this incident completely, thank you for making me aware of it. She is truly brilliant! I cannot wait for S3!

I can’t imagine an Irish nun saying that to a priest in public.

This series are the funniest thing laltely. And remind me of my youth in the north of spain. Not the religious issues, but the same rawness

[@OldSkoolWax]

On the board 'Catholics go to Bundoran'. I'm a Catholic from Belfast. We went to Bundoran every summer when I was a kid. This show needs to get out of my head.

Apart from the occasional advert on Channel 4 I've never watched any Derry Girls before this clip, I'm going to have to watch it, this is brilliant.

[@johnpolitis9060]

@chrishunt9931 The main difference is that Catholics have 4 ways of interpreting the Bible including allegorical but Protestants only have 1 which is literal. Another difference is that Catholics have 73 books in the Bible while Protestants have only 66.
