The national cuisine of Ireland is hearty and somewhat rough. The set of dishes in Ireland is quite simple, consisting mainly of meat, cheese, seafood and potatoes. But it is still worth paying tribute to the traditional cuisine of Ireland - even simple dishes are prepared here in a special way.
National dishes of Irish cuisine
Gaelic (Celtic) steak. It is a whiskey-roasted beef fillet. The steak is traditionally served with Irish Stew, an Irish vegetable stew.
Pork. It is eaten in all forms in Ireland. Fried bacon, sausages, homemade sausages, baked pork ribs.
Black and white sausage puddings. White pudding resembles liver sausage in appearance and flavor. Black, on the other hand, is made from sheep's blood.
Pasture pie and boiled corned beef and cabbage. Ireland's most delicious beef dishes.
Potatoes are a real staple of Irish cuisine. It's used to make boxty pancakes, mashed champ with green onions and colcannon with cabbage, bread and fish&chips - buttered fish and chips.
Cheese:
- hard "coolea" cheese with nutty and fruity flavor
- spicy "ardrahan"
- blue moldy cashel blue
- "Milleen"
- "Doolin"
- "Blarney Castle"
- "Cahill cheddar" from County Limerick, suitable for beer and whisky
Seafood. On the west coast you'll find oysters, lobsters, mussels and pink salmon in abundance. The Irish eat it all plain - with bread and butter.
The undisputed drink of Ireland is dark beer. The most popular variety is Guinness. And Irish whiskey is as good as the world-famous Scotch.
