Ireland’s National Dish
How to Make Irish Stew the Right Way—From a Dublin Chef Who Knows
Dear Ireland,
There’s a particular kind of silence only you know — the hush before the kettle boils, the stillness in a ruined abbey, the pause before the fiddle cries in a candlelit pub. It’s not emptiness, it’s presence. A presence that holds memory, music, and myth in its breath. We come to you not just for your landscapes, but for the way you remind us who we are — or who we’ve forgotten to be. In every misty morning and winding road, you leave space for us to remember.

Donegal! Fermanagh or Tyrone…
Maybe ask some of your responders to answer in Irish. Would love to see the counties names in Irish. Dialects would be lovely to see.

Both of these pubs are extremely popular with the Brazen Head coming tops among locals and the Temple bar visited most by tourists.
