Food in Dublin
If, and how much the Irish hospitality is linked to their passion for a good drink is difficult to say. What is certain, when talking about Ireland you can't not talk about dark beer and spirits.
Ireland means (also) dark beer and dark beer means (especially) Guinness, a beer with a precise flavour, characterised by its dark colour and soft foam cap. In Dublin it is possible to visit the Guinness Storehouse, the historic building where the process of fermentation once took place.
In Cork another two beers are produced, Murphy and Beamish, although their fame isn't an equal comparison to the beer which takes it's name from the records.
But, Ireland is not just beer. Famous throughout the world is the whiskey (written with an e to distinguish it from Scottish whisky). In Dublin it's possible to visit the Old Jameson distillery, whilst Baileys is the most famous whiskey cream.
Regarding food, Irish culinary habits are very close to those of England. The breakfasts are large, the lunches light and the supper, for Italian habits, very early in the evening. Eggs, red meat, potatoes and fried foods, are among the main dishes, however, fish platters are not to be underestimated on the coast or inland which is rich in rivers and lakes stocked with fish.
