what does ireland eat for christmas

In Ireland, Christmas is traditionally celebrated with a delicious feast of traditional Irish cuisine. Some of the most common dishes include roast turkey or ham with potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, and gravy. Other popular dishes include Irish stew, colcannon (mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale), and Christmas pudding (a rich fruitcake steamed in a cloth). Many Irish families also enjoy a special Christmas breakfast of tea and toast with butter, eggs, and bacon. And of course, Christmas wouldn't be complete without a festive glass of mulled wine or Irish cream.
