Irish cuisine isn't very fancy. There's no frogs legs or any of that stuff. The only way to describe Irish food is as traditional, healthy, farm style home cooking, made up of hearty soups and stews, home made breads and of course, potatoes that come roast, fried, boiled, mashed - every way imaginable. Popular Irish dishes include Bacon and Cabbage, Dublin Coddle, Irish Pheasant, Dublin Bay Prawns, Crannach (seaweed) along with every kind of seafood under the sun. The west of Ireland, produces excellent seafood, most of it caught by traditional methods dating back centuries.
Ireland's best known whiskies include Jameson, Paddy and Bushmills. Guinness, Ireland's most famous stout, is often used as an ingredient in Irish recipies. It's also particularly popular with Oysters. The Clarinbridge Oyster Festival held in County Clare every year is an incredibly popular event.
