FOOD AND TRADITIONAL RECIPES
One would think that Irish food is full of extravagances. Weird animals and stuffs like that. But no, the way we could describe the Irish cuisine would be traditional, healthy and farm style home cooking, made up of warm soups and stews, home-made breads, and of course, potatoes that come roast, fried, boiled, mashed - every way imaginable.
The traditional Irish cuisine as we can see is usually made with very simple ingredients and the cooking process is quite easy. The majority of Irish food recipes are made with vegetables, meat or fish.
These ingredients are usually the base of the traditional recipes that have been the main source of food in Ireland for hundreds of years.
Popular Irish dishes include Bacon and Cabbage, Dublin Coddle, Irish Pheasant, Dublin Bay Prawns, Crannach (seaweed) along with every kind of seafood. Irish have always consumed seafood. Recently, all shellfish dishes have increased their popularity due to the high quality of shellfish found in all Ireland's coastline. The west of Ireland, produces excellent seafood, most of it caught by traditional methods dating back centuries.
