Marmite is very much a British thing, we are not fans of it over here at all. I love baked beans though.
A real Irish dinner would be boiled bacon or ham with mashed potatoes, turnips and dark green cabbage *YUMMY. You call turnips something else..they are like swedes.
Irish food is boring, meat potatoes and two veg. Modern Irish cuisine is very asian fusion influenced, yummy! We don't do meatloaf at all. My family at home eat spaghetti bolognese, chicken stirfry, tikka masala, pasta with bacon and mushrooms, chicken and potatoes, pork chops, all normal foods.
Our baking is a lot different. Scones are just yummy. Also our apple tart (pie) is much thinner pastry and much shallower than american apple pie. I will think of more.
Casey the BBC Food website is such a fantastic resource, I search it all the time. feel free to post any questions you might have about our foods, you were very helpful to us when we started out. From a baking perspective I think the biggest difference is we use margarine instead of oil. Also our cooking vessels and utensils are called different things, eg skillet etc.
Mr Whippie is yum! Do you not have whipped icecream in the US? (not that its safe anyway!)
When I was in the US I missed lucozade (fizzy drink) cheese and onion crisps, sliced bread that didn't taste sweet, cheddar cheese, Irish bacon (rashers) and sausage. I think so much US food tastes sweet, even the ham!
Its been a while though, and I would murder the home fries they made at the diner near us on Queens Boulevard right now!
I am making myself hungry here!
