Answer 4

No-you are AMERICAN!!!  Though having the surname Murphy certainly indicate that some of you antecedents may have been Irish, this does not make you Irish.

I really do not understand why when I meet Americans they say -'I'm Irish'  They are not, they are Americans!  People born in Ireland or who have lived here for a while are Irish.  People from Kansas who occasionally eat potatoes are Americans.

Sorry this is a bit of a rant but this really irritates me!

Answer 5

You are, in fact, American. Juts because you have an Irish last name doesn't mean you will carry the same customs as people from Ireland do. But if you want to embrace your roots, I say go for it. Go and research it...there are plenty of irish geneology type sites that will give you as much information as you want.

And Corned Beef and Cabbage isn't any more Irish than Pinapple Pizza. Beef was never really popular in ireland until the beginning of the last century (give or take a few years)..Pork was more popular. When Irish immagrants came to America, beef and salt were less expensive so thats why the dish is more popular in America than in Ireland just like any other (Nationality)-American dish...like Fortune cookie or pizza.

Answer 6

Colcannon (delicious, and fun to play with!), potatoes, potato cakes, rashers, black and white pudding, bacon and cabbage, salmon, trout, steaks and beef, Irish stew (lamb chops, potato and onion).

Brown bread, many varieties of wild berry jams, honeycomb ice-creams.

Kerrygold butter!!!

Answer 7

Colcannon. And brown bread, baked fresh daily. Bangers and mash. Black pudding and white pudding (both forms of sausage).

C'mon, the rest of you authentic Irish, help me out here!

Answer 8

Are your parents from Ireland/? Were you adopted? You Live in the States so what you eat is irrelllevant.... You are human you will eat the local food. If you move later in childhoodhood it will take a little getting used to.. maybe I imagine Korea to Italy would be an easier adjustment for tastebuds then viceversa.

        Anyways YOU ARE AN AMERICAN! Perhaps you are curious about your ancestiors. ..and you should be finding out as much about you and any blood reatives then take wha t you have to people who do that sort of stuff. Geneology or something like that.  Just make sure you check around and don't your money to the first person you see. They will see you coming amile away. Is this really that important to you?

Answer 9

Rarebit stew (rabbit stew)

All Good Irishmen like a Little Lass.

Answer 10

Beer. Preferably Guiness. I am irish too. My last name is  O'Banion.
