An Enquiry into "Irish Food"

[gothwalk]

If you live in Ireland, or know a bit about the place, what do you think of as "Irish Food"?

If you had to provide a recipe for "something Irish", what would it be?

In my "typical Irish working class household" growing up, dinner was:

Monday: Leftovers from Sunday dinner
Tuesday: mixed grill and chips
Wednesday: Curry/Spag bol/ or something exotic like that (it was the 70's)
Thursady: Steak (payday for dad), mashed spuds, carrots or peas
Friday: Fish and chips (or egg and chips) Absolutley NO meat
Saturday: Chicken and chips
Sunday: Roast beef/ham, Roast spuds, three types of veg

And that was repeated every week.

If there was ever a desert it was HB icecream and jelly.


The only concession my mum ever made to "Irish" food was occasionaly making bacon and cabbage or Colcannon mash.


Breakfast was always tea and toast and fruit.

Supper was always tea, toast and a biscuit.
