Ireland

Potato-centred farmhouse cooking: stews, soda bread, smoked salmon, and dairy, washed down with stout. That is the short version of what Ireland cooks. Look for Irish stew (lamb, potatoes, onions, and carrots slow-simmered together), Soda bread (buttermilk quick bread risen with baking soda) and Bacon and cabbage (boiled bacon joint with cabbage and floury potatoes). Mutton, potato and onion stewed together; recorded under the name from the early nineteenth century as the food of the rural poor. This atlas has 36 Ireland dishes catalogued below, from everyday cooking to food kept for festivals and special occasions.
