What sort of things do Irish people enjoy eating...?

Question

... when it comes to real food, everyday food?

And, has anyone a recipe for a whiskey cake? I like "cakes with spirit," do you?

Thank you very much!

Have you anything we (outsiders) don't usually hear about, that is if you wish to share it? Thank you!
