What is Irish Cuisine

The biz trip was only for three days, but I really wanted to try some Irish food one night. By the last night, my stomach was exhausted from very rish fois grais, pork bellies, chips(fries), and wine(thanks to my French co-workers!), but I coudn't leave without being a tourist toasting with Guinness and Irish Stew!
Someone from Dublin office recommended GALLAGHER'S BOXTY HOUSE in Temple Bar, although this restaurant serves Murphy instead of Guinness (like I care?).

I was strongly recommended to have Fish'n Chips in Dublin, and here was my chance to try them. But staring at the menu, there were too many that I want to try! No way that I could only order one dish as many of you know how I am at a restaurant. I decided to compromise;steal some Irish Stew from other peoples' plates and narrow down to two dishes to order for myself.

McGowans Coddle - sausages, bacon, thyme, parsley & diced potatoes cooked in "very salty" broth. I had to gulp down two pints to wash off the saltiness in my mouth(but because of that I gained some respect as "real Irish" :-))


Fish and Chips - Before


Fish and Chips - After (chips were taken care of by my co-worker who admired Irish fries)


Irish Stew was not bad. Simple and Hearty soup(yet it was rather soupy).

Adios Dublin! I will come back!
