  1. Champ is yummy, and the main ingredients is potatoes.


  2. once you have spuds(potatoes), you're nearly there. make sure to mash them and add plenty of butter, salt and milk. if you boil them in their jackets, add the butter and salt when you skin them at the table. you will also need several pints of milk on the table to wash them down.

    you could make

    spuds, cabbage and bacon - with chef brown sauce

    spuds, carrots, roast chicken, stuffing, white sauce - my mother used to make the stuffing with spuds too

    spuds, turnips and ham - brown sauce again

    spuds with stew (beef, carrots, parsnips, onions and bisto)

    porridge is very irish - we have it for breakfast in winter

    apple tart and fresh cream for after dessert

    thats all i can think of

  3. Try coddle!

  4. Fish and chips!!

    I also liked this restaurant called Bad *** and it was in Temple Bar. It was a diner type place.

    They have really big breakfast with ham eggs sausage and a lot of other stuff.

  5. Soda bread

    White pudding

    Potato cakes

    All those products should be able to be bought at your local supermarket, if your in the UK Morrison's stock them all, not sure if mushrooms are part of the Irish culture but if you look at a pack of mushrooms you can nearly be 100% sure their grown in Ireland

  6. Soda Farls (bread)

    Potato Bread

    Colcannon

    Dulce (edible seaweed)

    Yellowman ( a honeycomb candy)

    Barmbrack (Bread)

    Belfast Bap (bread)

    Gravy Rings (the ORIGINAL doughnut)

    Paris Buns

    ...hope that helps!!

  7. Colcannon is one such food that instantly springs to mind, but there are others mentioned here...

  8. Tons of alcohol, eh? And there's no such thing as racial stereotyping .... You can leave the alcohol out, you know. The food tastes just as good without it.

    Typical Irish dishes: Bacon and cabbage with boiled potatoes, and wholegrain mustard on the side.

    Irish stew: with mutton, lamb, beef or pork, with onions, carrots and parsnips and potatoes and herbs, I like to add garlic as well.

    Colcannon has been mentioned.

    Many people do chops with 2 veg.

    Fish and chips! Don't forget the vinegar with the chips.

    Potato cakes.

    Soda bread.

    Apple tart and cream.

    Bread and butter pudding.

    For what it's worth, Irish cooking is changing - people have become more appreciative of the fresh fruit and vegetables that grow here, and with new blood coming in and showing us different ways of preparing them, and as as Irish travelling to foreign parts, Irish food is starting to show a lot of foreign influences. Pasta is now a staple, as is rice, and even grains like couscous, bulgur and millet are becoming popular. My favourite vegetable dish is ratatouille, which is a French dish. No town is without a Chinese and an Indian restaurant, or a Polish supermarket, and I am even starting to see Middle Eastern places with Turkish and Arabic dishes and spicy spicy sauces - yum!

    The other great thing about this is that standards of food and service in general has improved a lot in recent years - no more soggy vegetables and overdone meat, the quality of food served in 'Irish' places is much better than it was.

  9. People eat a lot differently now to what they did years ago ..here in Ireland we tend to eat a lot of what the rest of the world eat Chinese Indian Thai lots of Take-aways ..But going back the generations the diet was very simple because people did not have the money for luxury food. City people did ok they ate meat which consisted of Tripe and drisheen which is sheeps stomach  Bodice which is ribs other than that it was a basic diet of potatoes ,bread  vegetables there would be no treats only at Christmas where they would get a few sweets and an orange or apple

  10. Bacon and cabbage, irish stew, lamb, brown bread (soda or wheaten), rock bones, scones, a selection of homemade james, irish fry, shepards pie

  11. here are a few ideas,

    Cream of potato and leek soup.

    Irish Stew

    Irish soda bread

    Smoked Salmon

    As the others have mentioned.

    Champ and Colcannon are also traditional.
