Traditional Irish Menu - Playfish

FiggyPudding · 09-11-2009, 09:40 AM

Here's a suggestion for a traditional Irish menu:

Starter:

Boxty

Traditional Irish Potato Pancake, using fresh, grated potatoes, flour, egg and buttermilk. Serve fried in the pan.

Restaurant City Ingredients:

Potato
Flour
Egg

Dublin Bay Prawns

Lightly boiled in salt water, served with garlic butter.

Restaurant City Ingredients:

Prawns
Butter
Garlic

Main Course:

Irish Stew

The most famous of traditional Irish cuisine, Irish stew is a hearty, nourishing dish, usually made with beef, lamb or mutton, potatoes, carrots, onions, water and stock. When I make it, I dip the chunks of beef into flour (mixed with a little cumin powder) and pan fry gently until brown before adding the rest of the ingredients. Delicious!

Restaurant City Ingredients:

Beef
Potato
Carrots

Bacon and Cabbage

A common meal in Ireland, dating back to when people grew their own vegetables and reared their own pigs. Boiled bacon and boiled cabbage, served with potatoes (preferably with real butter). Very often eaten on St. Patrick's Day.

Restaurant City Ingredients:

Bacon
Cabbage
Potato

Dessert:

Goody

Traditional Irish dessert - bread boiled in milk with sugar and spices.

Restaurant City Ingredients:

Bread
Milk
Sugar

Luck o' the Irish Chocolate Mint Dessert

A rich chocolate sponge, topped with a layer of mint fondant and chocolate icing. Served with cream.

Restaurant City Ingredients:

Chocolate
Cream
Mint (new ingredient)

Drinks:

Non-Alcoholic Irish Coffee

Not very traditional without the whiskey, but a nice way to end a meal nontheless.

Restaurant City Ingredients:

Coffee
Sugar
Cream

Shamrock Smoothie

Not so much traditional as invented by me - kiwi and lime blended with vanilla ice-cream to make a yummy, green smoothie.

Restaurant City Ingredients:

Kiwi
Lime
Ice Cream

I'll leave you with an Irish Blessing:

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the sun be always on your back
And may you be half an hour in heaven
Before the devil knows you're dead.

Enjoy

Nice. I think you've got the best Irish menu I've seen so far

FiggyPudding · 09-11-2009, 03:46 PM

Thanks guys

It would be cool if RC had a barista machine as well as the drinks dispenser and fridge so to produce your irish coffees (and the other hot drinks on the menu!)

FiggyPudding · 09-12-2009, 02:46 AM

That's a great idea, Piccolo!

Since I've put this menu together, I've been feeling really homesick. What I'd give right now for a chunk of wheaten bread, real butter and a big bowl of stew!

Fantastic menu. So fresh and original!

I wish we had a good quality Irish restaurant in my area. I've gotten more curious about their cuisine lately and have really liked Shepherd's Pie when I've had it but almost all of our Irish restaurants have gone out of business. We have more Chinese restaurants than you can shake a stick at (or should I say a chopstick?) with more popping up pretty much overnight. I like Chinese food but I want other foods, too!

I've died and gone to my own Irish heaven!

I know the feeling. I am surrounded by nothing but Korean restaurants. And, fair enough, I'm in Korea, but if I want something other than Korean or pizza (which is very popular here) I have to travel for a hour to get into Seoul. Oh well...

This is heaven for me too - although my heaven would definitely include some Whiskey as well
