Me too.I'd love to go there , hopefully in this lifetime :)
Suriname. it's a country in south-america.You?
Hey guys, I assume there are lots of Irish people in this group (though honestly I don't know) but if you have any questions I guess I'd be happy to answer them.
Ha no! Well that's not fair, the food is mixed. Irish traditional food is not exciting. Lots of boiled potatoes, carrots, cabbage. Roast beef or pork, chicken, mostly just with gravy. Stew and soup are a thing that can be nice. Irish grandmother are famous for good pie (apple or ruebarb) This kind of food can be nice if you're a really good cook and really boring or gross if you're not.
But no as a whole the food is not good. We eat a lot of Italian, French, Chinese and Japanese food with American Fast Food depending on your age.
Well I'd still like to try some. Maybe the stew and the soups:D and desserts.Are the people nice?

What are weddings like?
Hi Joy. The food is as good as the cook. Where I live in Cork there are great suppliers and it's possible to eat very well. Many ordinary people eat badly. Meat and Potatos and hardly any veggies.
Dancing?
There are Irish dance classes all over the world, somewhere there is a dance teacher doing Irish dance near you. It's not easy but at the University where my wife teaches - Dance Studies - there are students from Japan, Russia, China and Africa all doing Irish dance and music. It's become universal. Give it a go.

Davidrory,
I don't agree with Orla above, Irish tradition food can be just as tasty as lets say italian as long as its cooked right!Although i wouldn't ahve it every day I would also eat a mixture of Italian, Mexican and i love thai food.
Irish dancing is like any kind of dancing if you have a knack for it you can pick it up within a few hours.
I agreed with Elle about the food but not the dancing. I was an amateur dancer for years and Irish dancing takes much longer than a few hours to get good at. You can learn a dance in a day.
Thanks for all the cool information....I live in the US...if I would to come to Ireland...where should go go first? Any places that aren't on most tourist list of places to go?
There are some many brilliant places to visit in Ireland , It really depends on how long your here and what type on things your in too. Dublin has nearly everything. But then Galway is great for the traditional stuff and Cork is also lovely town aswell. Really you can't go wrong and most people are nice, although Ireland is like everywhere you get your arseholes aswell.
lol...i love ur last sentence.I really like the more traditional stuff and places.
I have been to Ireland and will visit again later this year. I agree with David, the food is good as the cook. The food is actually better than what I get in the states. I love how the food is organic. It's not mainly potatoes either haahha.I really enjoyed the garlic mayo and curry sauce with the fish & chips.
The only thing I didn't really like is the black pudding....

actually no, knowing what black pudding is made out of.. even if it was dipped in gold, i would still detest it. sorry. My boyfriend is Irish. He isfrom Dublin but takes me all over the country each time I visit. He has had me try many types of both puddings. I can take the white but the black made me sick.
I never used to like Black pudding but as i have gotten older i've grown to like it and now really enjoy it.
Deb wrote: "main ingredient is pig's blood"That sounds nasty!!! What happened to chocolate pudding?
haha i agree chocolate pudding is nice. the black pudding is a different consistency than the pudding I am used to in the USA. black pudding kinda resembles a breakfast sausage patty if you get what I mean.
(Note to self: never eat black pudding)I liked to visit villages in Ireland, not big cities and such. What part of Ireland do I need to go to?
I have been obsessed about Ireland and it's culture since I was sixteen. I love the music and I LOVE LOVE the Irish Tap Dancing.
soooooo...yeah!
