Maybe it’ll be a glass of the latest Donegal whiskey, delivered with a quick-witted serve of local storytelling. Or tangy fermented potato bread with a bacon and cabbage sauce that rave reviews are made of, opening a meal in the remotest of white-washed pubs from one of the island’s most talented chefs. Or maybe the nostalgic indulgence of a cream horn – a sweet treat sure to charm your fancy woman, as dedicated Derry Girls fans can tell you.
If you’re looking for a culinary adventure to bring you off the beaten track at a delightfully meandering pace, the island of Ireland’s twin northern coastal routes are peppered with delicious pitstops. Who knows what your personal highlight will be when you discover for yourself the hidden gems that this fast-evolving yet tradition-rooted food scene has to offer.
