Talk About Variety:
Particularly in Ireland’ s larger cities, modern venues have developed representing a variety of foods from around the world. This is due to the European influence on their culture. So if on your journeys you are craving a particular type of food, don’ t worry head towards any large city and you will be sure to find it there. Many traditional venues will also offer a variety of dishes inspired by external influences.
Planning your Irish holiday can be done in a variety of ways. Building your itinerary based on regional foods can be a great way to explore this country and meet new friends. Each type of food has its own twist as you travel from region to region as well as specific items you will only find in certain villages and areas. It’ s a great way to get to know the local people and walk away with some great memories. Highly recommended for anyone and if you do set sail for Ireland please consider spending your stay in a B & B or smaller hotel venue so you can experience true Irish hospitality first hand.
