Ireland’s culinary culture is experiencing a popularity surge. I’ve long loved Irish foods – as you know from reading this blog.
But I’m delighted that the rest of world is now recognizing Ireland for its contributions to the gastronomic world. This trend is no more evident than in the newest offering from CIE Tours – the largest tour operator to Ireland.
They recently launched “Savor Ireland” – a treat for food fans everywhere!
