Irish Foods & Drinks to Try on Your Visit

Ireland is a magical place to visit. No matter if you have been there before or if you will be going for your first time, there is so much to see, try, and experience that you are truly spoiled for choice. While you might not see any leprechauns, the Irish people are famous for their great skills in cooking and their love for food in general. There are so many great foods and dishes to try that you will forget about counting calories and focus instead on all of the delicious tastes you are experiencing. No matter what time of year it may be, there are many different things to try. It was hard to narrow the list down, but we did the best we could.

Guinness Beer

First off, Ireland is famous for a dark-colored beer: Guinness. This Irish dry stout was created thanks to the Arthur Guinness brewery in 1759. The drink has a rich dark taste with a creamy froth, making it look as good as it tastes.

This drink might not be to everyone's taste, but it's worth a try.

Irish Stew

This is the perfect dish for a cold day (which seems to be a regular occurrence in Ireland). Irish stew is one of the most traditional dishes there is, and it will warm you up from your toes to the top of your head.

Everything is thrown into one pot when cooking, and you never know what you might find in the stew. The most common ingredients that you will find in Irish stew these days are: Lamb Potatoes Carrots Onions Some herbs

The lamb is slowly cooked so that it is nice and tender, absorbing all of the mouth-watering flavors that the different components provide. Rather than being a watery stew, it is extremely filling and is a meal that will send your taste buds into ecstasy.
