| Diet |
- Irish meals are usually based around meat - in particular,
beef, lamb and pork chops. Irish breads and scones are also
delicious, and other traditional dishes include bacon and
cabbage, a cake-like bread called barm brack and a filled
pancake called a boxty.
- The main meal of the day tends to be lunch and it could
be soups and sandwiches, which are a favorite.
- A full Irish Breakfast is very hearty. This meal generally
consists of eggs, rashers (bacon), bangers (sausage), baked
fresh tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, white pudding, black pudding,
fresh fruit, brown bread, or toast, or scones, with a bit
of butter and marmalade, juice, a pot of tea or freshly
brewed coffee with cream and a bit of brown sugar.
