A stroll through an Irish supermarket

by Diane Duane

One side of the produce and bread aisle in our local supermarketFor those of you who may be interested:

The Irish recipe pages at our European Cuisines website are constantly getting search-engine hits from people asking “What do Irish people eat?”. With that in mind, we’ve put a new page up that talks about the subject — in very broad strokes — and links to a Flickr photoset of images from our local supermarket, Gillespies’ SuperValu of Baltinglass, County Wicklow. (You can also view the images as a slideshow, if you like.) Anyway, if you’ve been wondering what a small-town supermarket in Ireland might offer, here’s your chance to find out.

There are also links on the “What do Irish people eat?” page to our Irish recipe collections, if you’re interested.

What fun to be able to browse through the Baltinglass SuperValu!

Loved the dairy products in particular, especially the fresh goats’ milk. And the Kerrygold butter packages look exactly like the ones I buy here in south Chicago.

I always enjoy walking through a local grocery store whenever I travel (I’m odd that way). Cooking is my hobby, so I love to see whatever’s different or unusual food-wise.

I remember going into a grocery store in the Netherlands (in Leiden, I think) and being impressed that licorice had an entire section to itself next to the rest of the candy. The Dutch sure do love their licorice.
