Although not a national holiday, March 17th is still celebrated in North America in honor of Ireland's patron saint, St. Patrick. With everything from parades to Irish festivals, the traditions of St. Patrick's Day are a welcome embrace to the start of the spring season. Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, IrishFood.com introduces you to the rich food heritage originating from the shores of the Emerald Isle.
Fresh and wholesome, Irish food is noted for its heartiness and flavor. Across the country, each town and village has a local specialty, from the breads of the northern regions to the fish and seafood caught in Ireland's numerous coastal rivers and lakes. IrishFood.com, hosted by Foodnet Ireland, gives you an inside look at the ingredients making up traditional Irish fare.
