The company i work for is holding a cultural lunch thingy once a week.
One person from each culture/country that works there has to bring in some food related to that culture and speak a little about where they came from.
I'm representing Ireland so I was wondering if anyone had a few suggestions on what food I should bring in?

sea food

tripe and drisheen


sausage, rasher and black pudding


boiled onions in milk


it depends on whether it's food we eat now or is culturally connected to the country. If it's the former then bring in a pizza or a chinese takeaway. If it's the latter then the list above is a good start.

I don't know all about feeding the dutch cheese???

Sausages, pudding, soda bread will prob be what i'll go with.

Now all I have to do is get them posted over.

You could try some Colcannon (http://www.recipezaar.com/browse/getrecipe.zsp?id=485&path=00D05E) cakes !! .... or maybe so Potato Skins !! Always good to try !!

You could try the auld bacon and cabbage aswell .... or go for the Irish Lamb Stew or a Beef Guiness Stew ..... i am getting hungry just thinking about it.
