Main Dishes in Ireland: Famine that occurred in Ireland when the potato crop failed in successive years. By the early 1840s almost half the Irish population, particularly the rural poor, was depending almost entirely on the potato for nourishment. The other crops could not grow because of water mold which ruined the crops. Irish stew is a filling, flavorful dish made with the cheapest ingredients. The Irish raised sheep and root crops for the dish. And finish it off with a touch of the ingredients juices. Shepherd’s pie may have originated in England, but it was adopted by Irish people many years ago. I grew up eating shepherd’s pie. Shepherd’s pie is comfort food at it’s finest, especially when it has a little Irish flavor thrown in. When the Irish emigrated to America and Canada, where both salt and meat were cheaper, they treated beef the same way they would have treated a "hamburger joint". At home in Ireland, they soaked it to draw off the excess salt, then braised or boiled it with cabbage, and served it in its own juices with no spices. Main Spices: Irish use very little spices in their food, Fresh herbs are commonly used in their food with butter and cream. Apart from salt and pepper: they flavor their dishes with the common spices. Parsley, Sage, Thyme, Rosemary, Bay Leaves, Parsnip, Ale , and Meat Broths. Food Patterns: The Irish diet and food patterns are very similar to that of Northern European countries. It generally consists of meat, poultry, or fish, with veggies and starch. Their diet is high in protein, primarily from meat and dairy products. Milk, cheese, meat, cereals, and some veggies form the main part in the irish diet, until potatoes were introduced to them in the 17th century. Many root veggies are eaten commonly.
