11 delicious Irish comfort foods that hit the spot, every time
SO YOU’VE HAD a bad day. You’re hungover, you’re tired, it’s raining, and you just give up. Who can you turn to? Food. Always food.
Here are 11 Irish comfort foods that you can always rely on.
1. Your mam’s stew
Significantly better than anything you could purchase or make yourself.
2. Toast with real butter
Served with a cup of tea. Simple, but so, so good.
3. Coddle
A Dublin classic that’s not pretty, but heartwarming to boot.
4. A filthy 3-in-1
The cure for pretty much everything – hangovers, broken hearts, 4am post-night out hunger pangs, the lot.
5. Runny boiled eggs and toast soldiers
For when you want to feel like a child again.
6. Shepherd’s pie
See that? LAYERS of comfort.
7. Your mam’s Sunday roast
Chicken or beef, roast spuds, stuffing, carrots, gravy… Sorry, we got distracted there.
8. A sossy sambo
A slice of fresh bread, ketchup, two sausages. Fold over the bread. Bliss.
9. Basically, anything wrapped in bread
Chips. Rashers. Put it in a sandwich and be healed.
10. Fish and chips from the chipper
Don’t you dare skimp on the salt and vinegar.
11. A good carvery
The true definition of a ‘feed’. Pile your plate high and don’t be ashamed.
