Coddle (also known as “Dublin Coddle”) is a Dublin specialty traditionally served in Irish homes on Saturday evenings. Based on potatoes (again), sausages (again) or bacon, and onions, this dish is known to be one of the most economical there is! And it’s even better on a cold winter’s evening: a coddle always fits snugly and keeps you warm!
Coddle is an Irish specialty mainly served in Dublin and the East of Ireland.
It’s served in Irish homes as well as in pubs, where it’s often a good idea to supplement the few emptied pints with solid, hearty food to combat the effects of alcohol.
Generally speaking, a coddle consists of potatoes (mashed or not), sausages (or bacon) and onions, all bathed in a broth. All the ingredients are marinated in their own juices, giving each food a wonderful flavor.
A little heavy to digest, coddle is generally eaten on rainy days, and is often accompanied by a pint of creamy stout (an Irish beer). A delight, if a little rich! A must-try if you want to discover Ireland’s greatest specialties!
