Cuisine

Ireland is not very known for its diversity of cuisine but nonetheless it has some interesting specialties and dishes with long traditions to offer. The Irish national dish is called “Irish Stew” and contains lamb, potatoes, onions and different vegetables. Also very popular are the thick and nutritious Irish soups which are offered in most of the cafes and tearooms where also a wide range of salads, sandwiches and cakes satisfy hunger.
As a country with seaside, Ireland does obviously also offer many fish and seafood dishes. A delicacy is for example the “Smoked Salmon”.
Ireland is also known for its famous brown ale Guinness or its apple wine called cider. Very popular is also the Irish whiskey which is called “Uisce Bheatha” in Gaelic and means “water of life”.
