why is irish cusine so bad?

devereaux17

i was just there on wikipedia checking up austria(as you do) and went down to cuisine and see how its been shaped by jewish/french/german etc. styles, everything looked so delicous, why is it in ireland we have such a bland national cuisine? this is not hatred for everything irish but its fact irish cuisine is ****e, and ironically so is the UK's, so their stupid colonial rule over here has led to a **** national cuisine.

Maybe just because you're so used to it you've become bored with it?

Spuds
Bacon & Cabbage
Stew
Coddle
Puddin'
Stout

are all typical 'Irish' foods. Go into any busy Irish town and have a look round they pubs and restaurants frequented by visitors / tourists. They do be lapping it up. They love it! Similarly, when I travel to other countries I like to try their national cuisine.

Nothing like a full Irish to get me set for the day if I'm suffering from a hangover.

But apart from that, I'm not a great lover of stuff like spuds, stew, coddle, etc...I'm more of an Italian cuisine person myself - I could live on pasta!

Traditionally we never had much food.

It has only been within the past 100 years that Ireland has started to escape for widespread poverty and oppression. These 2 factors don't exactly lend itself to a history of gourmet cooking. Our national cuisine is not too different from English or even regional french cuisine.

As said before tourists love the food. It's good cheap hearty food which was what was required by irish people down through the generations.

that could be it.... only how do you explain all the creative sicilian cuisine?

austria is at the crossroads of europe so i think that explains its interesting cuisine, whereas in ireland 88% of people have been here for 10,000 years in a form of cucoon. and yes i agree with the english/ regional french cuisine part. and as i said bland tasteless unimaginative crap.

Being Irish and living in uk ,dont think their is that much difference between English /Irish cusine ,they like their fiull english brekie as much as the irish love their's but you will find diversity of food from different countries if you look for it , you might just pay that bit more for it .

I suggest you go to Austria and eat. It's mainly just some sort of meat with chips/potatoes.

Damn good quality meat though.

you're joking surely?? you have to spend a fortune and go to a butchers to get a decent sausage in this country, much better bangers in England.

Not sure how you can tell the difference between teas tbh, Lyons and PG tips are the same thing aren't they?

TedB

How on earth is Irish cuisine ****e?

Kebabs? (Yum)

Fish and chips? (Awright mate!??)

Chicken Fillet Rolls? (for less than 2 quid these days)

How can you possibly go wrong?

Fromvert

Isn't Coddle more of a Dublin dish, all the culchies I'v ever mentioned it to never had a clue what it was.

But nothing beats a good coddle.

It's only as unimaginative as you make it.

Tell me about the "creative sicilian cuisine"? Is it anything do with the fact they have a better climate suited to growing more exotic fruits and vegtables? Or the fact it is very close to Africia, Greece, Italy and would at one stage have been very close to what was considered the center of the world, so would have had much more exposure to other cultures throught the years gone by.

Now I like a nice cup of Barrys tea and a piece of Galtee pudding as much as the next but apart from occasionaly , I will not pay the extra prices they are selling those products for over here when their are other suitable types on the market . But as I say ,you pay the extra if ya want it bad enough .

Tetley / PG tips are good quality teas in my opinion .

How dare you!! Hand back your passport. Your not allowed to be Irish and say anything remoting positive about English tea.

The UK had very little influence in our main dishes. That's one thing that truely survived.

Our food is not crap, your mothers cooking is, or whoever cooks for you. And the crap you get in a tin? It's not realy italian cuisine...

We have extremely good chefs and recipes in Ireland. Stew, be it lamb beef or rabbit, is loved by people all over the world. So is ham and cabbage, although we are just used to these foods. Same can be said for most countries. I am sure they are thinking the same in a lot of cases.

Bland? Whoever is cooking this for you, doesn't have a clue. Stew is very very tastey when done right.

bleg

The reason Irish food is so bland is because most of the time people were lucky if they got any food at all. Sustenance was the number one concern of most people and therefore they didn't develop many recipes due to lack of ingredients/inadequate amounts of food. Therefore adventurous cooking couldn't blossom.

asdasd

dont think their is that much difference between English /Irish cusine

Both Cuisines have come on a lot. British pubs , country pubs etc. have some brilliant food these days. I had a Game Mixed Grill in a cotswold pub recently. Fantastic.

Obvious Troll is obviously crazy!!

He is probably right about the 88% ( well 80%) being here for so long.

Fried Spuds!!!! And Balkan food is the same. Greate but bland stuff.

but great. Lots of meat.


Great.

asdasd

By the way, most people dont see fish as a national cuisine, but it is, where it is served fresh on the coast. Same in England. Rick Steins places are English cuisine.

Yes, he is. We are a bit off topic here but genetic influences from English, Normans, Vikings were less than 20%. Thats actually a lot higher than Wales.

Historically we had a rich and varied cuisine until the pesky Brits forced their ways upon us - See here:

devereaux17

Yes for example I would have Norweigan/French/English genes, however I doubt there is much difference between French(Northern particulary, Irish and English(unless they have roman genes which English and French who came here most likely had)

Spuds are great, I won't hear a bad thing said about them.
