      Up until the 1960s goose was the traditional dish. Not as common now but still there. It's a quite the operation cooking one as they are huge and you need a deep roasting rack because of all the goose fat. Totally worth it though as it is liquid gold for roast potatoes and veggies. Nom.

      Yes, turkey and ham is the most popular combination across the country. Spiced beef is most commonly served in Cork. You can buy it at the English Market.

    Mark, great video. But as a fellow traveler who enjoys his beer, I have to point out that you misspelled Guinness! Someone else already pointed out Stephen (which is my name) vs Steven.

    i really fell in love with Ireland after my trip at the end of October for Halloween celebration. Although I think Irish people are very friendly and fun every time, and Dublin is always a good idea. Another important thing to do: GO TO AN IRISH PUB!!! You can drink a beer and sing Christmas songs with Irish people and breathe and the real atmosphere.

    • @seantoner7392
      @seantoner7392 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s actually not called the Republic of Ireland, only in football. It states it clearly in the constitution that the name of the state is Ireland, or Éire in Irish. “The Republic of Ireland” is a British invention.

      @yermanoffthetelly 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It depends, there are different varieties. Some are dense like a fruit loaf, some are soft and fluffy. Most have a marzipan or white frosting. Generally they will have citrus, sweet dried fruits like raisins and cherries and nuts like almonds with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Some have Whisky, Sherry or Rum, some don't, its personal preference.
      Homemade ones are always the best, cafe or market bought can be quite good. Store bought ones are usually garbage and should be avoided.
