The Ten Best Names of Traditional Irish Dishes

Categories: List Mania!
St. Patrick's Day is next week, and I'm (partly) Irish. I won't claim that traditional Irish cuisine is my favorite fare by any stretch. But it does have some of the best names for dishes. Here, in my humble opinion, are the ten best.

10. Colcannon

Mashed potatoes, kale, scallions: This is a hearty dish with a name that just rolls off the tongue.

The countdown continues after the jump...

9. Farl

Sounds like the name of your sad bachelor uncle or maybe what your body does after you eat too much colcannon. In fact, it's just potato or soda bread.

8. Goody

A traditional dessert of bread boiled in milk. Not complicated, just simple and, well, good...y.

7. Barmbrack

From the Gaelic for "speckled loaf," barmbrack (pictured above) is bread studded with raisins.

6. Dublin Coddle
Not what you to do to the lovely barmaid in the alley behind the pub after a few too many pints of Guinness. Instead, a sort of stew of sausage and bacon with potatoes and onion.
