| Irish Lamb Stew |
It is almost time to be "wearing the green" St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner and my Food of the World group is visiting Ireland this month. I have been researching this country's cuisine and let me tell you what they eat in Ireland is a bit different than what Irish-American's eat.
I find the same thing is true with Italian and Italian-American cuisine. I think what happens when a people immigrant is that they can't find exactly the same foods and spices that they had in their native country, so they make due with what they do find in their new home.
They also incorporate foods into their diets in different ways than they did at home. For instance in Ireland the national dish is not Corn Beef and Cabbage. But in the US Irish-American's associate this dish with St. Patrick's Day. Irish immigrants substituted corn beef in the Irish dish Bacon and Cabbage when they came to the United States, probably because many butchers in New York City were Jewish and didn't sell bacon.
I hope I have gotten you interested in Irish cuisine because I think it marvelous. Make sure you visit our Food of the World Party this month to see the Irish recipes that my fellow bloggers have come up with.
March 11th we will be visiting Ireland!
Have yet tried any Irish cuisines before. Sound pretty interesting. Must google to check out the menu after this. Thanks so much for sharing. Hope you're having a great week ahead dear.

Irish food is all good comfort food, probably because it rains so much there.

Perfect with your bread.
Deletebacon and cabbage does sound a lot better than corned beef! Thanks for this round up...I'm still trying to figure out what to make, but think I might stick to a family classic of shepherds pie.
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with shepherd's pie. One of my favorites.
DeleteI have several Irish dishes coming out on my blog!! Including a Shepherd's Pie - but a HEALTHY HEALTHY version! :)
ReplyDeletePlease share your dishes with us on March 11th. Put your email in the subscription to Foodie Friday and I'll let you know when the party is live.
DeleteThank you for sharing my chowder recipe! You are absolutely correct about the difference between Irish and Irish-American cuisine. My site has many more recipes just right for St. Patrick's Day, most with hearty wholesome ingredients, some with whiskey or stout, and not a one calls for green food coloring ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny... I have been a bit overdosed on green food coloring lately myself. I hope you will share some of your recipes with us on March 11th. Put your email in the subscription to Foodie Friday reminders.
DeleteAll of these dishes look delicious. That Hearty Chicken Barley & White Bean Soup looks especially good. Thanks for sharing on Clever Chicks Blog Hop. I'm going to pin this post for future reference!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne...my family loves this soup. It is hearty and healthy.
DeleteSpicy stew with warm bread ..
