I once asked an Irishman, while in Ireland, so how is Irish beef?
His answer, “beef is beef, same everywhere”.
Tells you what you need to know.
LOL!! Back in 2006 I took a bus tour of the British Isles. When we finally got to Ireland, I was looking forward to being able to order Corned Beef and Cabbage. Then I found out that they don’t even serve it over there. I wrongly assumed it was an Irish dish, but I was wrong. Most of the dishes they offered on the tour were lamb, and salmon, neither of which I eat. One night I was so desperate to find something on the offered menu, I ended up choosing vegetarian lasagna because there was nothing else I was interested in. Potato and Leek soup was also a regular offer. The one thing I learned about soups overseas, most of them are pureed, not like the hearty soups here that contain whole meat and vegetables.
