WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN IRELAND

Ireland’s food is all about comfort. Whether it's a steamy stew, a hearty pudding or a pint of Guinness, we’ll show you all the best places to fill your stomach - and warm your heart.

Soda Bread

Almost every family in Ireland has their own recipe for soda bread, the traditional loaf of the country. This no-fuss bread comes in all shapes and flavors, with some adding honey or sugar, while others call for a sprinkle of oats or seeds. However you eat it, be sure to smother it in fresh butter first.
Black & White Pudding

You can eat pudding for breakfast in Ireland - but it may not be what first comes to mind when you think of pudding. Black pudding is an intensely flavored sausage made from pork, blood, oatmeal, suet and barley and white pudding is similar but doesn’t have the blood. You can try a tasty slice of both as part of a full Irish breakfast.
Guinness

If you’re wondering what to drink in Ireland, you can’t go past a sip (or two) of Guinness, the famous local brew. This dark Irish stout may be exported around the world, but it’s true when they say that Guinness tastes better in Ireland. Give it a go on your trip to Dublin!
