1) Traditional Irish Breakfast (often times just called a "fry") I know I've mentioned this in previous posts but it's so amazing I'm just going to tell you again. It includes the following:
-Rashers (like thicker cut bacon)
-Sausage (of course, the best sausage ever in Ireland)
-Baked beans
-Black pudding (don't ask just eat)
-White pudding (I like mine with ketchup:)
-Fried or scrambled eggs
-Soda Bread
-Fried tomatoes and/or mushrooms (varies in certain places)
-Tea or coffee
Here is a picture of a fry that I made, its missing black pudding and fried tomatoes, but as you can tell its a lot of food! If anything, you just have to have the rashers and sausage together.
2) Guinness Stew, Irish Stew, & Clam Chowder
The Irish enjoy a lot of stews and chowders that are delicious and very filling.
^This is a pic of the Guinness stew I tried with my family in Dublin! The ingredients can vary but mine had beef, mushrooms, onion, and potatoes I believe. Oh and a bit of Guinness beer too;)
3) Fish & Chips
Of course, the deep fried cod and chips are very good. When my family came to visit, my dad had this five nights in a row for dinner... We started to worry for his health. A great place to get this dish is at McDonagh's Fish & Chips restaurant located in the heart of Key Street Galway.
4) Sheppard's Pie
Often called "Cottage Pie," this dish consists of ground beef and mixed vegetables (like carrots, peas, onion) topped with a creamy layer of mashed potatoes!
5) Bacon & Cabbage
