Encyclopedia: Irish cuisine |
 | | Ireland is famous for the Irish breakfast, consisting mainly of pork, and, particularly in Ulster, fried potato farls. |
 | | However, the damp Irish climate favours the spread of potato blight and this frequently led to shortages and famine. |
 | | This cuisine is based on fresh vegetables, fish, especially salmon and trout, oysters and other shellfish, traditional soda bread, the wide range of hand-made cheeses that are now being made across the country, and, of course, the potato. |
