Irish cuisine was traditionally based on meat, dairy products, vegetables and seafood. Examples of popular Irish cuisine include boxty, colcannon, coddle, stew, and bacon and cabbage. Ireland is famous for the full Irish breakfast which consist of bacon, egg, sausage, pudding, and fried tomato.
Culture: music and dance
Irish traditional music has remained vibrant, despite the influence of various music genres, such as American country and roots music and to some modern rock it retains many traditional aspects.
Irish dance can broadly be divided into social dance and performance dance. Irish social dance can be divided into céilí and set dancing.
Irish stepdance, popularised by the show Riverdance (performance dance), is notable for its rapid leg movements, with the body and arms being kept largely stationary.
