    There's a lot of drivel spoken here about British and Irish food being underdeveloped.

    When eating out, Lebanese or Indian.

    Pizza and pasta, gnocchi, etc are all great, but I eat them so often that they don't seem that much like 'world cuisine' any more.

    cuisine

    a style or method of cooking, especially as characteristic of a particular country or region.

    There is no cuisine of any note native to Ireland as other people have said.

    Cuisine is not some recipe made up in Ballymaloe last week. It's a history of culinary tradition.

    Toss up between Indian and Thai for me. But I have a varied taste and can appreciate most things. Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Japanese (sushi - yum yum). Even cabbage, mash and bacon can be very tasty.

    I would take issue with 'roast' as well - surely this is a quite recent British import?

    Hard to make the case that the breakfast roll isn't a part of our national cuisine (indeed, it's a cultural phenomenon), albeit a relatively recent addition. I guess then we would have to add chicken fillet rolls to the list, also.

    When did the meteoric rise of demi-baguette as a national staple begin, I wonder; when I was in college in the mid-2000s, everyone ate rolls all the time, barely anyone would order a sandwich. I only really remember square sliced pan sandwiches when I was a kid (there were those full baguettes, but I don't think they were ever sold as sandwiches); I guess it happened at some point in the late 90s(?)

    I don't remember any shops from my childhood having a hot deli counter, either - when did they start coming in?

    To answer my own question - just found this very interesting & accessible history of the the breakfast roll on Reddit -http://www.socresonline.org.uk/16/2/2.html

    People were ordering rolls from delis when I was in school in the 90s. Cuisine de France bread is disgusting doughy crap.

    It was around about 1996 in my part of the world. I only remember because my Dad had one of the petrol stations, and nearly had a fit when the Spar started doing Cuisine de France avec beaucoup des notions.

    I first noticed it when I was in 6th year or so in around 98 but it had probably been going for a while already

    You can taste the sugar in it too.

    Though if you get one and leave it overnight it would be a handy weapon.

    bread in Ireland is thoroughly shyte compared to say France. occasionally you get something decent in a nice restaurant.

    places like "the natural bakery" are charging high prices for complete muck.

    I thought the same.I lived in Korea for 10 years,been back in Ireland about 5 years now and am always on the lookout for a good Korean restaurant. Theres some half way decent ones in Dublin but nothing special.Ive taken to importing some staple ingredients and giving it a go myself (i never once cooked in Korea!) very mixed results so far!
