These Irish Food Sayings Will Help You Get the Party Started!

We often use Irish food sayings to add fun and humor to Irish dinner parties and other Irish-themed occasions.

Two lovely glasses of Irish Coffee on a kitchen table next to a recipe book.

For example, we once added this quote to an Irish cocktail party invitation, to convince our guests that Irish Coffee is actually good for you!

"Only Irish Coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups:  alcohol, sugar, caffeine and fat."  - Alex Levine

And below we will offer many more Irish sayings involving food.

Add them to party invitations, custom napkins and tableware, or simply share them with your guests to spice up your Irish dinner party!
