On St. Patrick’s Day, we all get a wee bit of the Irish in us. Guinness, Irish stew and corned beef & cabbage are common in the U.S., but they aren’t the only things you would have when traveling through Ireland.
Ireland’s cuisine is very traditional and hearty, ensuring every meal is satisfying and delicious. Discover the home-style, comforting foods of Ireland. Listed here are Irish must-order specialties including Irish stew, Irish potato griddle cakes called boxty, coddle, and the components of a traditional Irish breakfast. An Irish breakfast will include farm fresh eggs served with sausage, eggs, bacon, grilled tomatoes and black or white pudding (a type of sausage.) There is usually also Irish brown bread served with sweet Irish butter and the famous Irish preserves. Also popular, is baked ham, salmon, oysters, and lamb. To drink? Guinness, Irish whiskey, Irish coffee and Irish breakfast tea. Guinness is sometimes added to stews, soups and sauces to give it an extra kick or enhance the flavors but it brings out the best quality in Irish cooking. Not to worry, you can also pick up a burger, wings and steak in just about any restaurant.
You can take an 8 day tour of Ireland for just $1,089 pp including hotel accomodations at first class hotels, full Irish breakfast daily, 3 dinners as well as sightseeing tours. If you’re feeling adventurous, a self-drive vacation allows you to plan your own itinerary, select your overnight stops and choose your B&B location on a day-to-day basis. Start your vacation in Dublin, where you will pick up your car on arrival. For the balance of your vacation, the choice is yours to discover Ireland with your B&B vouchers for each overnight stay, accommodation directories and a road map. Prices start at $489 pp for a 5 night/6 day package.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
