  2. 2Full breakfastFull breakfastThe Ulster fry Northern Ireland's version of the cooked breakfast earns its own entry because of the bread.

  3. 3BoxtyBoxtyA potato pancake that often uses potato twice, raw and grated plus cooked and mashed, bound with flour and milk or buttermilk and fried on a griddle or pan.

  4. 4CoddleCoddleDublin's supper dish: pork sausages, rashers or leftover bacon, sliced potatoes and onions, layered in a pot with parsley and simmered gently for a long time.

Order it in a seafood pub on the…0
  9. 9Soda breadSoda breadIrish soda bread, brown and white Flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk, and that is genuinely it.

  10. 10BlaaBlaaA soft, floury white bread roll from Waterford, with a history traced back to Huguenot refugees in the late 17th century.
