In Ireland, we have a guilty pleasure: Irish nachos. A sort of starter served as an aperitif, it brings together 2 surprising and unlikely cultures: those of Ireland and Mexico. The result is nachos cooked in Irish sauce: a tasty dish eaten mainly on St. Patrick’s Day. Interested in this UFO of Irish cuisine? Find out more here!
We’re warning you right now: Irish nachos are far from healthy. It’s an appetizer based on potato chips, covered in a sauce of cheddar cheese, butter and Irish beer. What a program!
They’re usually sprinkled with chives and fried bacon: the perfect way to rack up the calories!
But we have to tell you: this dish, far from being subtle, is truly addictive! We love its pronounced taste (due to the perfect marriage of Irish stout and cheddar), its crunchy yet melt-in-the-mouth texture… It makes for a contrasting starter that the Irish are crazy about!
The latter are used to consuming them, especially on St. Patrick’s Day. A simple dish, admittedly rather heavy, but ideal for celebrating March 17 Irish-style!
