A cold country, Ireland is known for its meat and vegetable heavy meals. Beef is used in abundance, as are potatoes and carrots; Irish Whiskey meanwhile is on everyone’s list.

Irish food is known for the quality and freshness of its ingredients. Potato and meat being the main produce, the cuisine revolves around the two. Irish classics like Shepherd Pie, Irish Stew and Soda Bread are popular all through the world. Made with meat and potato, the Shepherd Pie and Irish stew both are hearty dishes.Although very different in flavours and textures from each other, both go brilliantly with Irish Whiskey, Soda Bread and Boxty a pancake made up of potatoes and served with a cream dip.

Irish Food, however is not only about potatoes and meat, there is a whole lot of fun stuff too like ice creams, Irish Coffee, and yogurt — thick and creamy eaten with fruit compote or homemade granola. A must try however is the Black pudding — a mix of onions, oatmeal, pork fat and pig's blood, it is as Irish as it can get.
