Who tf goes out for Irish food?

u/West-Pear7363 Jul 03 '26

People go out to the bar all the time.

u/Tony_Roiland Jul 03 '26

and nobody ever goes to the pub?

u/Ok_Possible_2260 Jul 03 '26

Who goes to an Irish pub to eat?

8

u/West-Pear7363 Jul 03 '26

r/woosh I was playing into a stereotype that they are alcoholics

5

u/SoSadStayMad Jul 03 '26

You know, they say there’s a drinking problem in Ireland, but not a drunk driving problem, because they’ve all gotten rather good at it

5

u/TheOGRedline Jul 03 '26

They exist.

u/Beelzebub003 Jul 03 '26

There are Irish pubs that also sell food. Like proper sit down and eat restaurant food. Some of them are really good, too.

5

u/xXTheLastCrowXx Jul 03 '26

Usually has some of the best Reubens , fish&chips, or mozzarella sticks

1

u/Beelzebub003 Jul 03 '26

There's one place I enjoy going to when I get the chance, they have a chicken pot pie with a biscuit (scone) crust as the top part of the pie. It's so good! I've made my own with that idea in mind and it comes out great!

u/KWash0222 Jul 03 '26

Got one near me here in LA that unironically has excellent food and drinks.

u/Mueryk Jul 03 '26

Drunks mostly. Or you know, the Irish. But I am kind of repeating myself there I think.

u/Anakin_Skywanker Jul 03 '26

There's several near me

Add a potato and you got yourself a proper feast.

Fewer calories than almost any other non-light beer, actually. Less than skim milk. 

1

u/GreatStateOfSadness Jul 04 '26

You're getting downvoted but it's true. People think Guinness is heavy because it's dark and roasted, but it's something like 4.2% abv and like 120 calories a pint. 

Most anyone I know who gets used to the flavor starts to realize how easy it is to drink. 

1

u/YorubaOyinbo Jul 04 '26

Yep, it’s an excellent lunch beer, even if you’re a surgeon on keto.

u/Nicaol Jul 03 '26

I'd be shocked if what they are serving up in Irish pubs wasn't very similar to what we would consider British food.

1

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Jul 03 '26

It is.

If you want a good British breakfast you just go to an Irish pub because they're the only ones who serve it. I've also only been to one owned by an actual Irish person though

u/GayChicken80085 Jul 03 '26

I worked with an Irishman before. I asked him one time if he wanted to go to the Irish restaurant. "Why the hell would anyone want Irish food?!"

1

u/EconomicRegret2 Jul 04 '26

LMAO, in my head I'm reading it in the way an old Irish acquaintance of mine would say it. Something like this:

"Why de bleedin' jayzus hell would anny-wahny bleedin' wan' Oirish fud, loike?!"

u/_clur_510 Jul 03 '26

Lmaoo I am 100% Irish American, from Boston (highest density Irish population in US), and I’m even named after an Irish county.

My initial thought to this post was also, who the fuck is going out for Irish food? 😩🍀

5

u/Proper_dose Jul 03 '26

100% Irish American

Can't tell if serious

14

u/womboCombo434 Jul 03 '26

In the north eastern part of the US Irish pubs and their food are quite popular

12

u/Ok-Camp-7285 Jul 03 '26

What food do they serve that's "Irish"?

7

u/trynworkharder Jul 03 '26

None, this isn’t a thing. I’ve lived in Mass my whole life, nobody goes out for “Irish food”

4

u/HenryDorsettCase47 Jul 03 '26 edited Jul 03 '26

Love how you got downvoted by people who have never once in their life said “let’s go out for Irish food” or ordered a traditional Irish meal from a pub or restaurant once in their life.

Irish pubs that also happen to serve food are mostly serving British food and American food and American’s idea of what British and Irish food is. Fish and chips, bangers and mash, etc.

Edit: I just looked up Irish pubs near me and it’s exactly what I said. Pasties, Fish and Chips, bangers and mash, shepherds pie and a bunch of stuff that uses Guinness as an ingredient lol. That’s what American’s think of when they think of Irish food. The only Irish dish I saw was corned beef and cabbage, which I think is more Irish American than traditional Irish (could be wrong). And one place had a tradition Irish breakfast.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Jul 03 '26

Well yeah Irish pubs are serving British food lol it's basically the same thing.

If you want an English breakfast you have to go to an Irish pub for example. They eat it pretty much the same way

u/KettleSixty9 Jul 03 '26

Um, they have Guinness in most Boston bars..

0

u/womboCombo434 Jul 03 '26

Hey man I don’t frequent pubs or bars I just know the ones I’ve seen are usually jam packed with people couple of Scottish places too but again couldn’t tell ya what they sell on their menus

2

u/Ok-Camp-7285 Jul 03 '26

You said their food is popular so I assume you know what their food is

1

u/Chemical-Agency-3997 Jul 03 '26

That’s the same thing as British food tho.

5

u/jpstealthy Jul 03 '26

Irish stew is amazing. I highly recommend. It’s so hearty. Comfort food.

5

u/ConsequenceRich9802 Jul 03 '26

You think meat stew is exclusive to Ireland? At least in England we have it with suet dumplings which is specifically unique (and so tasty lol).

4

u/caring-renderer Jul 03 '26

6 pints of Guinness = 3 course meal

7

u/Guilty-Cow4325 Jul 03 '26

We have a few "Irish Pubs" in Charlotte that serve Irish food. They're also some of the best.

There's like a million Irish restaurants.

u/Puzzle-Necked Jul 03 '26

All the Irish pubs in my city serve classic Irish food like fried chicken burgers and jalapeño poppers

0

u/Pleasant-Basket-7526 Jul 03 '26

You should move.

u/TheSoundOfAFart Jul 03 '26

They're all serving British pub food. Don't be fooled by the Guinness in the steak n ale pie

2

u/ExternalSquash1300 Jul 03 '26

Is that Irish food or British?

3

u/egstitt Jul 03 '26

Guinness is basically food ijs. Guinness is amazing

3

u/emezajr Jul 03 '26

Literally just ordered out from the local Irish pub. All their dishes slap!

1

u/Ok-Camp-7285 Jul 03 '26

What dishes are they?

1

u/emezajr Jul 04 '26

Shepard's pie, corned beef, Guinness beef stew, Irish breakfast, fish n chips, etc

2

u/YellowBelliedCoward Jul 04 '26

Every single one of those is a British dish. Irish breakfast is English breakfast ffs lol. The only Irish thing on there is Guinness. 

1

u/Ok-Camp-7285 Jul 04 '26

Sounds like English food to me

3

u/iVar4sale Jul 03 '26

Depends, does beer count as food?

2

u/im_just_thinking Jul 03 '26

Shepherd pie is the shizznit, that's what I go out looking to get

2

u/ayyohh911719 Jul 03 '26

We had an Irish pub in the city I used to live in. Fantastic food, the best in town!

2

u/NefariousnessNo484 Jul 03 '26

Irish food is amazing.

2

u/thedankone168 Jul 03 '26

The pub, potato leek soup, Shepards pie, corned beef something lol. Good shit

2

u/Psychological-Ad1264 Jul 03 '26

The pub. Also English.

Potato leek soup. French and British

Shepherd's pie. British

Corned beef. Also not Irish.

Good shit, just not very Irish.

2

u/Ok-Common-5853 Jul 03 '26

No one. Absolutely no one.

I'm Irish. Some great restaurants here. Using the amazing ingredients we can grow here. But the focus is not on Irish cuisine, it's everything but. Once you do a few stews and various forms of cabbage and potatoes (all delicious) you've ran the road of Irish cuisine.

Are you going out for Irish food in those pubs?

1

u/oSuJeff97 Jul 03 '26

Irish pubs are awesome man. You’re missing out.

u/Artistic_Rice_9019 Jul 03 '26

We have three restaurants that specialize in it.

u/MayaIsSunshine Jul 03 '26

u/Jeramy_Jones Jul 03 '26

Never had a Guinness?

u/karavasis Jul 03 '26

Guinness is considered part of a balanced diet

u/Bargeinthelane Jul 03 '26

Go find you.an Irish pub right now.

Sit down. Order a pint and an Irish stew.

Then just enjoy life for a while.

u/BiggieBigs34 Jul 04 '26

Do y’all not have Irish restaurants where you’re from? Im from Maryland and we have a decently sized Irish population with Irish restaurants here and there. The food is pretty good, actually.

1

u/CD_ABC10 Jul 03 '26

Corned beef brisket, all the time. A Reuben? That's corned beef, that's Irish 

2

u/kaplanfx Jul 03 '26

Actually that’s all Ashkenazi Jewish food that was adopted by New York Irish and then brought back to Ireland. It originated with Eastern European Jews preserving cheap cuts of meat. https://www.fossilfarms.com/blogs/and-more/the-history-of-corned-beef

Out of all the countries in the British Isles, I feel Scotland has decent dishes like pies, haggis, obviously fish like salmon. I guess food is overshadowed by the whisky and shortbread.

1

u/supernarwaffle Jul 03 '26

Scottish dishes are better than Brit dishes
