U$A: American Tourist Dollars and the Irish Food World
Listen now
Description
Americans have been coming to Ireland in significant numbers for decades, often in a nostalgic search for their own cultural roots.  How has this history of American consumers shaped Irish food, restaurant and pub culture? From craft whiskey and pub music to the Irish adoption of the smoking ban, we investigate how Americans have helped shape the Irish culinary landscape. To American visitors, we explain why you should not order corned beef and definitely not a black and tan.   We also sadly bid adieu to host Julia Langbein, who is leaving Ireland.   In this episode: www.fabfoodtrails.ie (http://www.fabfoodtrails.ie/) www.irishfoodtrail.ie (http://www.irishfoodtrail.ie/) www.americanfood.ie (http://www.americanfood.ie/) www.boxtyhouse.ie (http://www.boxtyhouse.ie/)   https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/11/dining/11pubs.html https://www.failteireland.ie/FailteIreland/media/WebsiteStructure/Documents/Get_Brexit_Ready/Market_Diversification/05-US-Market-Profile-FINAL-(Web).pdf
