Ireland has a food culture all of its own, featuring dishes and recipes that many outside of the country haven't heard of. Many of these recipes are still followed in households, having been passed down through generations of Irish cooks and housewives. Traditional Irish meat dishes often include pork - for example, bacon and cabbage, black pudding (blood sausage), coddle (consisting of pork sausages, back bacon and potato) and crubeens (pig's trotters). You also have the traditional potato dishes of boxy (potato cake), champ (mash, scallions, butter and milk) and colcannon (mash, cabbage and butter). Of course, fresh fish dishes, particularly those including salmon, trout, oysters and mussels are popular, as well as the traditional Irish soda bread. So, what's your favourite Irish dish that's 'just like grandma used to make?' If you fancy a change however from the bacon and cabbage, why not plan an indulgent meal out? While many of the traditional recipes were designed to cost little to make, there's no need for a special meal out to break the bank either.
