Summary

Emerald-green land, an oasis at the tip of Europe...with a new brand of excellence served up high on the Irish table: mouthwatering cheeses, seafood, beef, fish, and lamb, as well as soda bread and spice buns that melt in your mouth. With the country's fertile, loamy soil to yield fine produce and herbs; grassy fields to feed dairy cattle; plentitude of animals from rabbits to pheasant to catch and cook; and ocean waters teeming with fish, there's a cornucopia of fresh and wonderful foods to choose from. Not to mention the pubs, with the best ales and most excellent whiskeys in the world. Take a taste of Ireland as you tour through its rivers and lakes, plains and countrysides. It's an unrivaled voyage.
