Fun Facts about Ireland and the Irish

With it being St. Patrick's day today I thought we would take a look at how the Irish dine in Ireland. The menu may surprise you. Did you know

• In Ireland it seems many over the age of 15 enjoy a drink of alcohol. In fact in 2010 the average individual drank 11.9 liters of pure alcohol. That would be the average of 44 bottles of vodka, 470 pints or 124 bottles of wine a year. 

• Traditional dishes include Irish Stew, Coddle and Irish Breakfast

• As we all know (or most of us should) the Leprechaun is famous in Ireland. If you are lucky enough to catch one you are said to be able to have a wish granted. 

• It was Italian immigrants that first brought fish and chips to Dublin during the 1880s. 

I am in hope that I have helped broaden your knowledge of Ireland and the Irish
