Been watching Fact videos from a year ago that you are in , you must of went on a diet . You llok like you lost about 20 lbs. HOPE YOU'RE FEELING PEACHY KEEN JELLY BEAN!
PJD lol you don't need to put the British spelling in parenthesis everyone understands what you mean, they're not that differently spelled and it's kinda common knowledge there's such a thing as both American and British English and that they slightly differ like that lol. Idk just that it was kinda funny that you did it but still wanted to let you know you don't have to go around doing that
Blind glimps of the obvious.......??? although, anyone not from a speaking / reading english country.... might enjoy the difference... for example while stationed in korea, i had discovered that to koreans learn british english. along with the slang.... example in automobile, hood in american, is bonnet in england.... boot / trunk...... ect......
Diane Me Gran mum was 1st born in America. 1892. She fed us 90% of what was on your list. So did my dad. I'm so missing Ireland and I've never been!! Except for the Guinness.. graduated to AA at 21,.any way I love the entire food list..died laughing about blood sausage, my dad, God rest him, loved it! I never could try it!. I hope you keep up the show, it's like hearing someone I know say I'm sane every time you go all stream of consciousness...
Since I'm way too old to marry an incredible young lady like yourself, I will just say I do enjoy our time together while I'm watching your videos. This one was very informative ,...so much so that I'm feeling more Irish by the minute. You always work in a mention, when relevant, about not being much of a cook,...don't worry about that. I value much more, a persons good heart, and a lively sense of humor. Both things you display ,in abundance! Remember , you can learn to cook, but you can't learn a sense of humor. Another brief period of time, well spent with you, resulting in a huge smile on my homely old face. Thank you, Diane ! Have an incredible weekend ! 🌷
EXACTLY. This is why I couldn't understand the big appeal of the spice bag. America fries EVERYTHING and that's my "normal"... so... I hate to admit it, but when my relatives so benevolently welcomed me "home" to ireland, I failed to see how special a spice bag truly is to them. I passed on the offer. Wish I hadn't. I guess I didn't know what I was missing. Next time I'll definitely have a spice bag.
Darren Ó Máille. This chick didn't even name off lamb. That's what I expected to hear, not the same beef stew that this particular American makes on a regular basis.
Boo Canada doesn't have spice bags either! I'm of Irish descent. But a few decades back lol. I only have reddish hair and pink/pale skin. Damn I want to try a spice bag
Everything you just mentioned Stew, cabbage & bacon (we use ham) the breads, I grew up on here in the southern part of the USA. A lot of people call it soul food. Love your channel
Your list is interesting. I live at the northern edge of the Appalachian Mountains, where we are pretty well immersed in Appalachian sub-culture. We have lots of Celtic heritage, both Scotts and Irish. So some of the foods you mention do exist here. Blood sausage, brown bread and soda bread, and bacon with cabbage are common here. I grew up eating potato chip sandwiches, but it was and is mostly young people who eat them. I am not much of a beer drinker. I am a wine-o. But I do have Guinness on occasion. Sadly, I have never had it in Ireland, so I have nothing to compare with the U. S. variety. Also, not unique to Appalachian sub-culture is the wild variety of floats. Ice cream in any sort of carbonated soda flies pretty much coast to coast. Oh, I also realize that Irish are not drunk all the time. Frequently, but not all the time. All the time is reserved for Russians.
Same here in the Deep South however I would say that we have a little bit more English influence then Irish or Scottish but from Scotland we definitely have Fried Chicken
Guinness is usually served cold here, while it's served at room temperature there. It actually tastes better when served warm. It seems to bring out more of the flavor than when cold.
@@johncollins7423 As a stereotypical American, I cannot drink warm beer. So, how about we chill it for a while in the fridge and call it "room temperature in a drafty European castle?"
@@Mn-yh2bp Friggin glad I ain't average!!!!! "Honey,what's for supper??" A hearty bowel of thick rich STOOL!!!!! I don't like Stew anyway, certainly don't now!
Wow! You get extra RU-vid points for both using and actually spelling words like “excruciatingly” and “enunciated” right. No shade. Not only do I like this comment, but I am extremely impressed by its erudite and articulate nature.
Amen Homesteader! I felt like it was thick enough to chew almost in Ireland, while in the US it's a mere shadow of itself. I cried when I finally tasted it in the US, to think I'll never have that heavenly brew!
Idk guys, I definitely agree a lot of times it’s very bitter, but other times I’ve had it and not only is it not bitter, but it’s very smooth... I’m dying to try some in Ireland to see what I’m missing bc I love it anyway
The secret: Nitrogen. Find a bar that uses "beer gas" (25% CO2/75% N2) instead of the typical 100% carbon dioxide to push the stout out of the keg and you'll be happy.
Dianne, bacon and cabbage is amazing; also, the Americanized corned beef and cabbage (same thing, just substitute salt cured beef for the salt cured pork) is fantastic as well. I hope you have had a chance to eat it in the two and a half years since you made this video. ;)
Hey Diane. The Irish are not the only ones who eat/enjoy 'Black Pudding'. Most Puerto Ricans really like the stuff too. We call it Morcilla (more-see-ya). Oh, and that orange soda over vanilla ice cream, is pretty popular here in the US as well. I think it's unique flavor was originally introduced (by the ice cream man) as the Dream-cicle. Yum!
Your chicken filet roll looks almost EXACTLY like a Southern chicken po'boy sandwich. Also, although they aren't common any more, ice cream sodas WERE an American thing back in the 40s and 50s, not just root beer floats. Some places still have them.
I think, I could be wrong, coke bought distribution rights for Vernors. I guess they want to branch out to the rest of the states. We bring Vernors to NY when we visit for our friends.
we have both types of bacon in the uk streaky bacon is is the only thing that is bacon in the states but we eat both back bacon and streaky its just that back bacon is most popular and what u will nomaly get if eating out
Not sure how it is done elsewhere in the world, but Guinness must be pasteurized before sale in the US. Silly people... ruining God's greatest gift to mankind. And yes, any Guinness in Ireland is 100% better than the best draught Guinness in the states. My wife, who abhors all stouts and porters, actually liked the Guinness we had in Dublin. Never thought that I would see her finish a pint of it. Oh, and..... BLACK PUDDING!!! Yes! Love it fried up over a campfire on a cool morning. Oh, yes.
Agreed; the Guinness in Ireland is the best. I was told it tastes different else where because of where the hops are grown. The Guinness that is drunk in the US comes from Canada; so I have been told.
I've eaten most of this my whole life and have never been to Ireland yet come to Nova Scotia Canada lots of people eat this stuff. And you have to try black pudding it's wonderful
That's the ticket, marque. I love Guinness from pint bottles here in the US. Extra cold, just above freezing. The 10 oz. contents tastes bitter and flat. Still don't know what those plastic plugs are for.
Corn beef and cabbage was a staple in my home growing up. Same with brats and sour kraut on New Year's Eve. My mom was big on cooking and baking. She grew up on a farm cooking for and cleaning up after fourteen people! My mom could cook rings around every other mom in the neighborhood. All my friends wanted to come over when mom was baking. Pies, cookies, cakes, even hand dipped chocolate covered cherry cordials... She called them cordials. Some folks call them bon bons. I just called dibs! and ate way too many!
A newsagent, that has a deli?! That needs to happen near me. Had black pudding with honey for the first time recently, amazing. I love red lemonade, not TK though. I love non alc apple cider too. Closest thing I had to a spice bag in Australia, a glorious creation called the HSP or Halal Snack Pack. Basically piles of meat on top of chips with sauces. I wanted to make bread, but lazy, so I thought soda bread might be easy, still haven't made it. We call floats spiders, they're amazing. Boiled cabbage, crispy bacon, butter everywhere, it's amazing. Beef stew, carrots potatoes n stuff, great too. The Guinness I have drunk, I loves it.
thisdamnthingy Sounds like newsagents are pretty similar to U.S. gas stations with a convenience store. I don't think I saw anything quite like it when I was in Australia.
Haven't been into a newsagent here for, probably years. They always have such random things, same with chemists. Here are all the drugs, but would you also like picture frames?
I've had blood sausage before at my grandparent's house. It's one of my favorites. Though I don't know if Irish blood sausage is different than German blood sausage. Is bacon and cabbage the same as corned beef and cabbage? Corned beef and cabbage is like one of my favorite meals.
Spent a week in Ireland several years ago. The first day I had Irish stew in Dublin at what I would call a tourist trap. It wasn't very good. A week later I had it again at a small town on the other side of the county ... it was THE BEST stew ... best meals ... I have ever had. Lesson for the day ... don't eat at tourist spots.
Black pudding sounds mad because of the blood but when you think about it, normal sausages are mad too- the skins are made of intentines (listed as casings on the ingredients)- anyway it's all bits of dead animals. No critisim of anyone who does or dosen't eat meat- I just find it odd how we define food for ourselves.
I can't speak for all of America, but I've certainly never heard of a spice bag. Also, how are they remotely Asian? They look like fried chicken and fries.
The subtitles for you and @weescottishlass are hysterical! It has no idea what to do with your accents. You said "idea" and the subtitles wrote IKEA! Too funny!
My mam made killer soda bread and we'd have it with stew, coddle, colcannon or just with butter. We would have used Kerrygold but it wasn't readily available in America back in the '70s & '80s. I absolutely love your videos! Keep 'em coming Diane!!
Soda bread is make by all the stores bakeries around here( south eastern Idaho)and it seam like eveyone knows how to make it. And everyone's venison stew calls for Guinness. To answer your question I know Guinness taste differently in the States because it is packaged with a nitrogen filled wicket.
Those are just the pint cans with the nitrogen widget. Even those taste different than a Guinness draft in a bar, and depending on the bar and how they pour it, the taste can differ also. My litmus test for a good pint of Guinness is if the bartender makes a shamrock in the foam on top. Seriously. No shamrock, it'll probably taste off. Shamrock, it's probably going to be good.
Love this! Shows me how different people live and different things we all eat or drink. And you are still a lovely lady! Just glad I am not a millennial!
Breaded chicken on a roll (a subway sandwich) is served all over in America. Blood sausage is served all over the UK and I know of 3 restaurants (in USA) bear me that serve it for breakfast. I have had it all over America. Stew? LMAO! IT is a VERY common home cooked dish in the USA.
1) I love listening to you talk and you have very pretty eyes. 2)I've had most of those things other than blood pudding and the red lemonade. 3) your orange soda and icecream is called a rootbeer float in America because we use rootbeer. You do a great job with your videos. Keep up the good work.
Spice Bag has been on my list of things to try when I visit Dublin toward the end of the year (any suggestions where?); black pudding not so much, but will try it. The fillet sandwich seems to be the same as a chicken cutlet sub and the orange/Ice cream is a creamsicle. Always interesting to learn about this stuff. You'll be at 50k soon, I think!
OMYGOSH SUPERMAC'S MUFFINS AND ICE CREAM. I miss that combo so freaking much from when I first experienced it when I lived in Limerick. No other fast food has anything like it.... why do I live in America?
4:35 omg yes! CIDONA IS MY FAVE DRINK THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS IN HERE! And spice bags and red lemonade is delicious. And club orange and Fanta is.... y e s
I'm an Irish-American who really enjoys the carb sandwich...! Noodle sandwiches, sticky white rice on a folded square of pepperoni pizza..... *yum!* I'm really enjoying your channel, too. Keep up the great job. -Tadhg=)
@@joshdupont2209 Dr. Pepper floats are LIFE! Next time you come to America Diane, buy a big cheap glass at a dollar store>some Dr. Pepper for the fridge>some good quality real vanilla bean ice cream, and add them together for a piece of Heaven on earth..those Angels you hear singing, well they are just a bonus. Also don't forget to use the same glass and make it with Strawberry Fanta as well ;)
Awesome video, Diane! I'm out in Kerry now. Once I can get away from these cows that are stalking me, I'm getting a breakfast roll! (Also - what the hell is with the cows here?!?! They won't stop following me!)
Slice and bake your cabbage at 410°F under parchment (210°C) for a while, when the stuff at the edges gets crispy it should all be mostly cooked and you whip the parchment off and throw on spices for about 5 minute then serve with whatever. It's the properly cooked cabbage (don't boil it!) that makes the difference.
There are a lot of Americans of Irish descent and the more I watch Irish youtubers the more I realize that my grandma (and lots of old folks) made Irish dishes and even had Irish ways of speaking. There's one young youtuber that I always think "he sounds like my grandma did". 😄 Also Guinness here is gross but it's the best for making stout cake!
jennifer lawrence No you right Guinness is called stout, it might be beer but I know it as stout .what words does your gran use that's strange does she say he's gas shes gas? If not say it and she'll be amazed it means funny, or you say " the gas thing about her is she calls everyone ugly and she's the only ugly person i know☘🍻👍.
Gillesa Mccabe Guiness is a stout, a strong porter , you must be one of those Americans that think you are Irish and only drink that American piss you call beer .
A Conneely do u feel better about yourself now? Someone’s ancestry has jack to do with their knowledge about the difference in beverages. That’s called raising and not everyone in America is as caring about what beer goes down their throat after a long days work. Just that one does lol (aka not everyone has family like mine and that’s ok) Just because you don’t like Americans doesn’t mean that allot of us don’t link back to Scotland and Ireland. We are allowed to be proud of that. Your comment is nothing more then hate directed at a country over something as simple as answering a question, is beyond childish and rude. Y’all try and claim your better then the USA. Then u act like that and remove all doubt that your not. Scotland and Ireland are amazing. You as a person... not so much.
Guinness is wwwaayyy better there. When every one told me that it taste so much better in Ireland I thought the same thing - Atmosphere. Nope ! It taste a lot better. Guinness does not ship well.
It not that it doesn't travel it's to do with preservatives they add for export the kegs are different. Also Guinness is produced in every continent in the world and the biggest one is in Nigeria of all places. It's all about marketing to be honest
I have had Guinness in the North and South and the most surprising pint I have ever had was in a hotel in Ballymena, it was beautiful, weird! I nearly puked at what was served up as my first pint in England, it hadn't even settled from the first pour, I pity the poor ***** who thought that was how it should be. 'Funniest' thing I ever saw was bottled Guiness brewed in I am sure it was somewhere in Africa but on sale near Belfast.
My husband wants to point out the concept of a bone cruncher sandwich. It is basically any type of sandwich with potato chips (crisps) on it. Mostly just meat, crisps, and some sort of sauce (usually mayo) It's kinda a universal dish if you grew up poor here in the USA. It's very similar to your crisp sandwich. Cool list BTW.
My mom used to make (and taught me) a very similar dish to bacon and cabbage, but since our ancestry on that side is German, she used sausage. This is really simple takes only one pot, and even though you say you're not a good cook, you can do this: Peel and quarter potatoes (I usually do 1 per serving). Put them in a large pot, and barely cover them with salted water. Crank up the heat. Once they start boiling, add cabbage (I usually cut a head into quarters and do one quarter per serving). Add sausage on top, and cover. If it starts to boil over, reduce the heat. After 10 minutes, check the potatoes. If they're soft, you're done. If not, check again in five minutes. Plate using a slotted spoon so you don't get a bunch of water on the plate. Butter, salt, and pepper to taste. BTW, the grocery store I shop at here in California carries Kerrygold-it's wonderful, especially compared to most butter.
My significant other lives in Castlebar and brown bread with butter and sometimes cheddar is a breakfast staple with a cuppa. Yum. Also, breakfast roll was my first meal in Ireland 🇨🇮
Something we do in our home is Ice Cream Cantaloupe. One Cantaloupe serves two people. You cut your Cantaloupe in half and spoon out all the seeds then fill the hole left by the seed removal with real vanilla ice cream (real vanilla not the chemical flavoring stuff.) It's also great with pistachio ice cream too! It's a sweet treat on a hot day that also is good for you... At least the Cantaloupe is good nutrition :) lol
Yeah when I serve tables I often get asked " does that come with vegetables and potatoes?" With a big empathise on potatoes. Also there's big obsession with strawberries here. The strawberry has become the new potato. Lol
Nice try Diane, BUT EVERYONE KNOWS that the only two things Irish people can eat are Lucky Charms and Corned Beef! ...feed 'em anything else and they explode.
@@Biscuits2 after googling them and finding out what they are I had to laugh. No you can't get them here. As for corn beef it's here but Ireland is one of the best and well known countries for meat and produce in Europe and I'm English so it's hard for me to say that. Lol. So why would we eat corn beef?
I love the Polish version of blood sausage, and have wanted to try the Cajun boudin version but have never found it. I would love to try the Irish version.
Louisianan here. Boudin is worth the effort to find. If you are in the US I am pretty sure you can get it shipped frozen and it does freeze well. It's not so much a blood sausage as it is a "dirty rice" sausage. It has um... let's just say "pork"... (it came from a pig anyway), spices, and a lot of rice. It can be made really spicy but the traditional stuff is pretty mild. The best boudin is the stuff from a gas station or corner store that has been sitting under heat lamps for an unknown amount of time.
Chris P I lived in Abbeville for about 9 months and I pretty much lived on Richards spicy boudin-grilled. Oysters, shrimp, and an occasional steak were about all I ate. The local butcher meat markets were always fun to visit but I never found the red variant of boudin.
Chris P Yes, and shrimp. When I went to Dupuy's for dinner I got grilled oysters for an appetizer (6), and a dozen raw for dinner. Breakfast was always a stick of boudin. We learned how to make it once I returned home.
We have black pudding in Puerto Rico, though we call it Morcilla and it's usually filled with rice. Never tried it either. We also eat stew a lot, normally with white rice as a companion.
here in canada i know it as blood puddin or blood sausage. its not exactly somethin most people eat, don't know why though (well actually yes i do im sure it has everything to do with its name), personally i like it. alot. its great fried with eggs for brekky. yum yum yum
Erich Holthaus I make bacon and cabbage at every family gathering.(probably American version)i brown bacon cut up til crisp add cut potatoes and cabbage on top put on a lid and cook it down til diced potatoes are done.(we usually add slap your momma seasoning.delicious.
Being unable to find Irish Bacon or back bacon in the USA Irish immigrants substituted Jewish corned beef that was plentiful in Eastern cities. Corned Beef and Cabbage is an Irish-American version of bacon and cabbage. It is not known in Ireland.
I’m Irish-American and I love LOVE Kerry gold on soda bread! And bacon and cabbage fried in cast iron with cut potatoes is amazing! I’ll cook it for you if you come to America!!!
I don't know about Irish mens pick up lines, but my methods would get one arrested today, it was the late 60s. and early 70s. when I was on the hunt so to speak. Different times.
+Sam Moore I love spaghetti sandwiches! I'm so glad to encounter someone else who does. From the time I was a young child, I would put the spaghetti on my bread and eat it that way. My family always just thought I was weird.
My brother and I would make spaghetti sandwiches. My Mom would say not to do it when my Grandparents came over for dinner. I remember my Grandfather buttering bread and making a spaghetti sandwich at our house so we did it as well. Don't know who was more angry...my Grandmom at my Grandfather or my Mom at us for doing it anyway (and using him as an excuse) lol Yummy.
Sam Moore please tell me it's at least "Hellmann's" mayo or another name in other states? Best Foods Company. That's the only mayo that was allowed in our home . Plus my Mom only made Ham & Cabbage -plus plenty of potatoes! Go figure.
Haven't lived in Ireland since Novemer, 1975, but seeing your photo of brown bread just brought the taste straight to my mouth. OMG, how I miss that taste!
My dear mother, bless her soul, loved CARBS ON CARBS. (She was of Irish ancestry with both parents and all grandparents of Irish descent.) Her favor Thanksgiving leftover? A stuffing sandwich: a thick slab of bread stuffing between 2 pieces of bread.
I’m an American but I’m feeling pretty true to my Irish roots right now. Almost everything in this video sounds absolutely delicious to me, especially the breakfast roll and the spice bag. Yum! 😋 I want to go to the mother country right now and eat all of that. It sounds like it’s pretty much fried foods, carbonated drinks and ice cream. 👍🏻 I was raised on stew and meat & veggies. Also, I am a potato/ carb fiend. I eat crisps on my sandwiches all the time. One time at a restaurant with friends I was made fun of because the sides for my steak were a baked potato and mashed potatoes. I still see nothing wrong with that.
