Beef & Guinness Pie: Beef is a common meat that is consumed in Ireland, and meat pies are very popular and originated in the United Kingdom, which Ireland was once a part of. Guinness is a type of beer that originated in Dublin, Ireland, but the alcohol part of it is cooked out.
Scampi & Fries: Scampi is a delicacy, and in coastal towns like Howth, which is where I had this dish, they are available for catching.
