Irish
When the weather gets cold I turn to Irish food. It is comforting and delicious. If you've never tried a Guinness Stew, I have a recipe for it; it's a favorite at my house.
There is also a dish called Dublin Coddle, which is also a type of stew using veg. and bangers, a delicious English sausage. We love to eat this between Fall and Winter.
If you're into salmon, check out my salmon tarts.
All in all Irish food is delicious, hearty, and very comforting.
