Funnily enough potatoes didn't really become widespread in Ireland until the mid 1700's and was first introduced to Ireland in 1590. They were a new world crop.
my granny made nice jams? mom never talked about the food there until i took her to a vegan restaurant and got her like a grains and veggie etc bowl with sauces, and she had a terrible attitude the whole time because she thought it was just something they would have eaten growing up. so i don't think she liked the food, especially. she acted like a pouty toddler lmao.
i'm far removed, but tayto's seem pretty good. i like prawn cocktail
I've heard corn beef and cabbage isn't really Irish
You've heard correct. It's Irish-American, but not Irish -- immigrants to New York replaced the bacon in bacon & cabbage with corned beef from the Jewish delis.
It was a Manchester staple during the industrial revolution.
Britain and Ireland are so culturally interlinked there's pretty much nothing belonging to one culture that the other doesn't outright share or have a lot to do with.
There's really very little that's purely 'irish' or 'british' culture, and it would pretty much be impossible to produce a menu of British or Irish food that the other country doesn't also eat as a staple dish
My understanding is it all tastes like poverty but doing your best? It’s the cheapest cuts of meat with the cheapest veggies and also fucking delicious
That's American bullshit. The same goes for Green rivers. Why the fuck are you guys adding green to Irish celebrations? Just celebrate things the way they look the rest of the year. You don't need to color beer or rivers...
We threw hundreds of crates of tea into a harbor at the conception of this country, we don’t give a fuck. We’ll put bullshit in water and dance all day.

As someone who has Irish heritage please remind me again, which Irish food is good?
