The food in Ireland does not compare to Italian food. Mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, chicken, gravy.... forget about it.
Then Italian food is probably the best food in Europe.
True.
I've traveled to Ireland and the lamb, carrots, and potatos were OK; but I did not like the mashy peas.
A friend of mine went to Ireland when he was in jr. highschool with his family. He does not eat vegetables at all. He apparently did not eat much at all in Ireland while there.
The food in the various cities and regions of Italy I have been to was excellent.
