So they favor fresh vegetables that they grow themselves or that they buy in open air markets.For example, an Irish favorite is frying fresh tomatoes. They flavor with early wild garlic and scallions. They like sea food such as trout, salmon, oysters, mussels, lobsters, and cod.They make meat dishes with beef of such high quality that it has worldwide respect.
