Wholesome Ireland

"Wholesome" may not be the first adjective when people think of Ireland, especially as the most common stereo-type is that Irish people are drunk all the time- that all they do is drink. This is most definitely not true, while some may enjoy a pint of Guinness with there meal they are not drunks, just as the fact that they are leprechauns is not true.

The most common food type associated with the Irish would obviously be potatoes, and this is a stereotype that is true, the "traditional" Irish families would have some form of potatoes with tea (dinner) every night. However it is not a necessity with every meal.
Another common meal associated to Ireland would be the traditional Irish breakfasts, which includes sausages, rashers (bacon), eggs, beans, fried/baked tomatoes, black or white pudding, and of course fried potatoes.

Irish stew is yet another well known dish from Ireland, that is of course implied in the name! Many adaptions have been made to the recipes but the most traditional recipe includes potatoes, onion water or vegtable stock and lamb. Lamb was the choice of meat as it was raised more frequently, so easier and cheaper the acquire.

I feel like this blog has been more informative then fun, like I am the teacher rather then the student. So my next blog most will be about more of the fun side of food, because that is how everything to do with food should be! Here is a picture of delecious food to make the blog more fun and to make you hungrier :)
