There is a general belief that Irish cooking imitates English cooking - Untrue!
Irish cuisine offers a wide selection of quality produce and natural ingredients which are married together in delicious creations. Traditionally, Irish cuisine has been meat-based: beef, lamb and pork chops or the old reliable bacon and cabbage or mutton stew are examples of popular traditional Irish plates.
Recently, Ireland has developed a taste for fish and seafood: smoked or fresh salmon, mussels and oysters are now common features on menus around the country. But it has to be pointed out that this is a new trend, changing from the Catholic rules of having fish only on Friday.
When it comes to bread, Irish bakers produce a fantastic risen loaf as well as the traditional comforting soda bread, made from flour and buttermilk. Don't forget to taste the warm crumbly scones that are eaten with butter, jam and cream on top.
During this journey you will experience the best of Irish cuisine, and leave Ireland with a wonderful taste in your mouth.
