Let's See Some Irish Food Recipes!

Serving Irish food is a great way to express our love for Irish culture.  We'll start with short descriptions of 10 of our favorite Irish dishes.  Links inside each description will take you to the recipe itself.  

Traditional Irish Stew

Basic Irish lamb stew is one of the most traditional dishes, based on lamb/mutton, and root vegetables including potato and onion. These were the ingredients that were cheap and available to Irish farmers who based their living on sheep and root crops.  On St Patrick's Day we keep a crock pot bubbling, with soda bread cubes close at hand.  Click on the picture for our favorite Irish Stew recipe.
