Irish food is massively understated, especially amongst Irish people. I think it's the quality of the ingredients that elevates it. History robbed Ireland a cullerary tradition but the emerging food scene is really exciting.
You beautiful woman!! You mentioned Taytos the food of the Gods🤣 it’s doesn’t matter where you are in the world, if someone visits from home they’re ordered to bring Taytos. I love cheese and onion in a tayto sandwich with butter and loaf bread……I’m hungry now. Wonderful video as always, I feel part of your family from watching them 😘
I'm originally from Chicago and have lived here in Ireland for a couple years now. OMG, you are so right about Irish dairy! It's so, so, so much better than in the States. For example, their eggs are to die for! It blows me away how they taste so much better than back home. They are also yellower than American eggs, plus as you may know Irish eggs are not refrigerated. As you noted, hand-made ice cream is everywhere and is excellent. Another habit that I developed is that I will make an entire meal of White Pudding. There are many individual varieties, mostly developed from family recipes. I love O' Flynn's, which has just a great combination of spices. Local grocery stores are filled with pudding. It was the number one unique food that I found here.
We put our eggs in the fridge here in ireland...you dont find them in the supermarket in the fridge...but when we get them home we put them in the fridge. Also irish eggs are not as yellow as chinese or italian or wild eggs. Unless they are from a proper wild free range hen in ireland...most irish chickens lay the same as mass produced americen hens
Ice cream in ireland is not great and pale in comparison to italian ice cream. Dont even get me started on "Ginos italian icecream" in ireland....its not anyway like proper italian icecream
@@traceymarshall5886we don’t need to put them in the fridge though as they haven’t been washed in Chlorine which weakens the shells. In the USA they clean the eggs with chlorine before packaging them so they have to be kept refrigerated as the shells are more porous and would allow bacteria in 🫣
Glad you mentioned the tea, and I believe the Irish are No. 1 in the world in tea consumption. I love real Irish breakfast tea. There is an import shop near me that sells Barry's Tea from Ireland--one of Ireland's most popular tea brands. Since it's imported, it's expensive (about $9). The only tea in the US that comes close the Barry's is Trader Joe's Irish Breakfast (cheap at $3.50). It almost tastes exactly like real Irish breakfast tea. 😋
@@WoltersWorldEats Thanks for the response! I know from your videos that you both enjoy your meat =) I appreciate you including other options too. I love potatoes can't wait to try all the forms of potatoes in Ireland.
Tea, salt & vinegar taytos and spice bags. These alone are proof that you spoke to real Irish people and went beyond on the stereotypical touristy food. Well done as always!
6:23-The reason beer tastes so good in Ireland _probably_ is because of the ingredients _and_ the closeness to the supply chain (at least that's how I see it.)
Thanks for reminding me of my Kilkenny past. Irish Stew, Sheppard's Pie, Taytos!! I know its not related but for a return visit of only 4 days, with Dublin and Kilkenny being a must, would you recommend driving or taking the train?
NOOOOooooo she is eating the fake Tayto crisps....you are eating Northern Ireland Tayto crisps in this video which are not the same and zero connection besides the same name as the famous Tayto crisps in Republic Ireland - next time you have to try the REAL TAYTO crisps.
Hi Jocelyn. This is literally a delicious video! Congrats! Question from a fellow TH-camr: What mic you are using in these external shots? The sound is great and cristal clear! Muito obrigado and please send my best to Mark.
As an Irish person Guinness is far nicer in Ireland than anywhere else, it is 100% not a mental thing. I've tried it in several countries and it just doesn't compare. The stouts and ales brewed in Ireland were brewed here originally because the water here is the perfect type of water for them. Guinness brewed with non-Irish water just doesn't have the same characteristics and thats why it typically doesn't taste as good if brewed elsewhere. Also the malted barley for Guinness comes from a soil type that gives it the unique flavour in Ireland which just isn't replicated to the same degree when brewed overseas using their local malted barley.
As an irish person...i thought shepards pie was the british way of saying cottage pie? Im pretty sure beef is meant to be in the 2. Also the "pies" you show are not irish...they were "Cornish Pasties" from Cornwall England. Meat Pies are not an irish thing - they are english. But nice video. Also most of my family are vegan and i hope ye try Irish vegan food the next time ye are in Ireland.. .not all of us eat dairy/meat/fish/chicken for ethical reasons
John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Ok so I really want to like seafood but I just don't like that fishy taste. The wisky well I've been going through different kinds of liquor I want to try before I die. However I suck at it cause well I'm a light weight but I'm trying new things. I'm Irsh whiskey is on my list. So I wouldn't mind that. The beer well the gluten may keep me from trying it. The Shepard pie well I just couldn't bring myself to eat the lamb. I love them. I might starve to death there lol.
Lol you wouldn't. There is so much more. I hated fish until I lived on the coast...it makes a difference. Whisky is an acquired taste for most but on oatmeal with sweet cream might be the best way to try it. If you're into tasting new liquors buy airplane bottles so you aren't wasting money. Shepherd's Pie is fine even if you don't like lamb, it's got so many other flavors it's a good way to ease into lamb as a main meat. As to beer, I don't like it but I always have a sip of my husband's just to try.
Good to know starving to death on vacation doesn't have the best ring to it. If I do buy a bottle I drink the whole thing no matter what. It may take me some time but I push through. But I may do the little airplane bottles now. Maybe I'll try so seafood near the coast ( maybe).
NOOOOooooo you have the fake Tayto crisps....you are eating Northern Ireland Tayto crisps in this video which are not the same and zero connection besides the same name as the famous Tayto crisps in Republic Ireland - next time you have to try the REAL TAYTO crisps.
PSA: Do *not* watch this video when you are hungry. Everything looks sooo good! Thanks for posting.
😆 it is that tasty!

So much good food!

Try JC's white pudding in Swords its kind of spicy. Probably white pepper.

Oh my gosh this is perfect timing!! I'm going to Ireland for the first time in May!!!! Thank you for the video!
Glad it helps! We have loads of Ireland vids on Wolters World that will definitely make a difference.
@@WoltersWorldEats I have watched ALL of them and plan on watching again right before the trip!!!!
How was it?
Thanks so much for this, just what I needed. Headed to Dublin tomorrow. Hitting the ol' treadmill tonight :-)
Thanks, guys!
No wonder I've never liked oatmeal. I keep forgetting to put whiskey on it. 🤦🏻♀️
🤣😂
Thanks, Jocelyn! I starting my trip prep for an expected June 2023 visit to Ireland.
Thank you for this awesome video! I'm planning a trip and this is helpful. I liked seeing the vegan option with the pies. That's good to know.
Neither of us are vegan but we do try to mention if we see options.
@@WoltersWorldEats Thanks for the response! I know from your videos that you both enjoy your meat =) I appreciate you including other options too. I love potatoes can't wait to try all the forms of potatoes in Ireland.

Thank you. We do our best to make local connections and experience the real stuff wherever we go.
@@WoltersWorldEats We call them chipper’s in the Republic of Ireland
Those salt & vinegar crisps @4.26 minutes are protestant Tayto rather than the real Tayto though. As always, great video Wolters World!
I like the zoom camera work when you're talking about "hot tea in the morning (zoom), or in the afternoon (zoom) or maybe in the evening, too.
😁
Me too. 😆
I'm hungry now. Really looking forward to the food when I visit Ireland one day!
It's a tasty adventure
FINALLY...the difference between Shepherd's and Cottage Pie. My wife will do her Cottage pie with Elk or Bison and WOW!!!!
That sounds tasty!
As an native irish person i completely agree with everything you said
Thank you so much for such a great video!
6:23-The reason beer tastes so good in Ireland _probably_ is because of the ingredients _and_ the closeness to the supply chain (at least that's how I see it.)
And you are in Ireland!! What could be better!!
Guinness and Smithwick’s aren’t my favourite of their styles

Missed a key part of the Irish Diet! A chicken fillet roll!
Tayto brand is so yummy!
Agreed!

It is a sony external mic that you just slide into the slot of a Sony camera. Nothing too special really
But we do use a 'dead cat' to help with wind.

I checked shepards pie and it does say lamb...but i would have thought alot of the times it is made with beef in Ireland (but then im an irish vegan)
