What are the national dishes of Ireland (Éire) ?

Answer 1

Guinness but in reality it is Irish stew, love the stuff.

To make it you stew the spuds (potatoes) for half a day with the meet. You let it cool over night, heat it up again and add the veg and simmer for another short time, it is not uncommon for some people to add a bit of Guinness.

Answer 4

Shepard's pie would be one of our national dishes, we're also famous for our black and white pudding (which I love) that comes with our full Irish breakfast. Stew and coddle are a couple more...we dont have a lot of national dishes compared to, say the Italians but the ones we do have are really good.

Answer 5

I live in Eire so i think i should be able to able you!
Although irish stew is a favourite, and so are salt beef, cabbage, potatoes with white sauce, each region has its own specialities.
In Dublin it's called coddle, sausages stewed with potatoes and onions, and where i live (On the West coast) it's boxty! Boxty is made with potatoes, flour and eggs, turned into a dough that is refrigerated then sliced and fried. it goes very well with sausages, bacon, black and white pudding, eggs (Traditional irish breakfast in our parts). In other parts ... They do not use boxty but serve cooked breakfast with toast.

Wheaten bread and soda bread are used practically on a daily basis as well!
