My daughter has a report due on Ireland and part of the project is to make an authentic Irish dish. I suggested corned beef and she's not too excited about that.  so I was hoping that someone might have some recipes to help us out! Thanks! |

Corned beef is an American Irish dish.
Potato bread. Irish stew, are IRISH dishes.

How about colcannon? I think it is really Irish, but I could be wrong. My kids 9 & 12 love it. | |

It's gotta be something with potatoes, surely! A good hearty Irish stew would be my first choice. | |

Soda bread, potato bread, wheaten bread. All good choices.
My first stop in Belfast when I go home for a visit is to get a good fry-up. That's fried soda and potato bread, fried eggs, back bacon, blood pudding (sometimes, not always), fried tomato. All item pan-fried with a bit of butter. YUM!!! That's a Sunday-night treat for sure.
I also could kill for a Chippy somedays. You go down to the chip (french fries) shop, and get a take-away (take-out) of chips, often served in newsprint. YUM! You can get them with toppings like curry. It's a meal, not a side dish.
A potato dish: Champ. That's mashed floury potatoes, made with butter, scallions boiled in milk and mashed to fluffy.
Those would be mostly northern Irish-type dishes, but you could get them anywhere.
ETA: I HATED corned beef growing up. I remember those damned tins with the special key to turn the lid off. ugh!
And "Irish" stew is something I rarely see at home, except for tourists. It's what Irish workers in England often ate after emigration. |

I vote for boxty. It would be pretty easy to make, too.
Shepherd's Pie?
Soda bread... Brown bread...
Agree that "Corned Beef" is NOT Irish.

Ahhh, blast from the past, that. The only way I could swallow that stuff was smothered in butter, salt and pepper. And I'm pretty sure poor-Irish didn't have as much butter as I used! LOL |

okay, agreeing with everyone else, corned beef is not an Irish dish.
Here are some ideas;
Fish cakes, Salmon with brown soda bread. Dublin Bay Prawns
Brambrack - a fruit tea bread/cake made with no butter or marg.
Fruit Soda Bread.
Lamb Stew - made with mutton and red lentils
Bacon (gammon) and Cabbage
Colcannon
Soups - Potato and Leek, Vegetable, Chicken
Black Pudding is popular as part of a breakfast fry up. White pudding is also available.
Apple tart
No meal is complete without a very large pot of tea - plain tea, not flavoured at all.
Perhaps she could write up her menu or ingredients in Irish
im - butter
tae - tea
bainne - milk
just to start her off

Black pudding is a blood clot under an assumed name. YUCK! 
I recommend bangers and mash. It's delicious and easy. They sell Irish sausage at Fresh Market if you have one near you. |

Bubble and Squeak. (Cabbage and noodles).
Bubble and Squeak is NOT made with noodles!
It's a traditional English, not Irish dish made with cabbage and POTATOES, both usually left over from a roast meal. The cabbage and potatoes are shallow fried in a pan until cooked through.
Same as Toad in the Hole - English not Irish!
Some posters on here are confusing Irish traditional meals with British, in particular, English traditional meals.

Dottyscrapper is right that Toad in the Hole and Bubble and Squeak are English dishes. The term bangers and mash is also an English term. Sausages are very popular but are just called sausages. Slices of bacon are called rashers.
If you do make Colcannon and add spring onions be sure to say that the Irish call spring onions scallions.
This is a link to a very popular hotel and restaurant in Galway where food has been served for over 37 years. The menus now are a mix of French and Irish. Love this place.

This thread is making me smile.
I spent part of my childhood growing up in Latin America. I inwardly roll my eyes whenever I hear people say they want "Mexican Food" from places like Taco Bell or other American Chain restaurants. The playmates from my childhood would in no way recognize what is served at those places (or not even what Americans call "refried beans" for that matter! 
But it works both ways. My Hispanic friends pretty much felt that 90% of the American diet consisted of hamburgers and french fries (because that's what they saw in the movies.)
If you want authentic recipes, it's best to make certain you are getting information from someone who's actually a resident of that country.  | |

Have to agree with Dottyscrapper, it's definitely not noodles Maybe there's an American version or something.

Nope. I never heard of bubble and squeak until I saw The Two Fat Ladies cook it on their show back in the 90's.
My favorite Irish food? A warm loaf of soda bread and big old gold foil packet of Kerrygold butter. Mmmmmm..... |

I've just googled American Corned Beef to see what the US called corned beef!
You're right it's nothing like the British Corn Beef. We call the American one a Brisket Pot Roast or a Salt Beef Pot Roast. I wouldn't say that it's a traditinally Irish dish either.

Shepard's Pie with a side of mashed potatoes and mashed carrots. I had that for lunch in a local pub just outside of Waterford and the serving was enough to feed three or four people! Plus it would be fairly easy to make and reheat to take to school. I would just do the casserole and not the extra side of mashed veg. | |

I'm sorry. I've just seen this post. I live in Dublin. I would say 'Coddle' is a HUGE Irish dish

'Colcannon' is another favourite,
