What are some Irish foods?

Question

I have a school project and I need to get authentic Irish food for everyone to sample, do you have any ideas of some easy foods, like I've heard of soda bread and potato bread, that I can use? Any ideas on stores that sell this stuff? Or would I have to bake it?

Answer 1

bake your own IRISH SODA BREAD

12 ozs Wholemeal Flour

4 ozs Plain White Flour

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda (Bread Soda)

1/2 pint Buttermilk,

or 1/4 pint of soured cream mixed with 1/4 pint of water,

or 1/2 pint of sour milk





Sift white flour, salt and bread soda, and mix thoroughly with wholemeal flour. Make a well in the centre and add most of the buttermilk. Working from the centre, mix with your hand adding more milk if necessary. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Turn out onto a floured board and knead lightly, just enough to shape into a round. Put onto a floured baking sheet and cut a deep cross over the top of the bread.

If you don't like a very crisp crust, wrap the bread in a damp tea-towel whilst it cools, so the steam it gives off softens the crust a little.

Bake on the top shelf of a pre-heated oven, at 2200C / 4250F for 30 / 40 minutes.

Answer 2

Caroline is a bit out with her temperatures (220 C or 450 F), but otherwise I would recommend her soda bread.

Griddle cakes as me ma made them:

4 medium sized raw potatoes, finely grated

1 egg

1/2 cup of flour

salt,

mix all the ingredients and put a spoonful into a frying pan.

Flatten it out and put as many pats into the pan as it will hold without them touching. Fry to a golden brown colour on both sides.

Sin é (That's it) In my view they taste best with apple puree, but they are also good with savoury foods.

Answer 8

Irish foods run in the line of Celtic foods.

You can ask a person at Wholefoods Market and have them direct you to Celtic foods. Cost Plus Market also sells Celtic food in boxes.

Caroline, above me, just made me hungry.

Answer 9

Irish Soda Bread

Answer 10

Champ is unquestionably one of the most delicious side dishes ever created in Ireland...

Champ

Ingredients:

    * 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed

    * 1/2 pound green onions (scallions), chopped

    * 1 cup milk

    * 2 teaspoon salt

    * 4 ounces butter

Directions:

Boil the potatoes until cooked. Simmer the green onions in milk for about 5 mins. Drain potatoes and mash. Add the hot milk and scallions, salt, pepper and half the butter and mix.

HINT: The secret of success to this Irish potato recipe is making sure all the ingredients are kept very hot while you're preparing it.

(And "bangers and mash" is British not Irish)

Answer 11

bangers and mash

which is just sausage and mashed potatoes usually served with cabage
