Bia Gaelach: Cé na cineálacha bia Gaelach is fearr leat? (Irish Words for Irish Foods) Posted by róislín on Mar 17, 2018 in Irish Language
Whether you prefer corned beef, corned pork, Dublin coddle, or oak-smoked salmon, March is the month for celebrating the Irish menu. Here’s a little matching quiz to provide a little bilingual culinary challenge. Each food item has at least two words and the phrase may need one or more Irish words. A few of the entries are used twice (indicated by “x2”). Aistriúcháin agus freagraí thíos; answers and translations below.
By the way, of course, there are many other traditional Irish foods, but for this exercise I mostly looked for ones that have a specific Irish reference in the name, like Irish, Dublin, shamrock, etc. But there were a few I couldn’t resist, even though the reference is a little more general, like the corned meats and the ice-cream. A specifically Irish ice-cream? Yes. I’ve made it and can definitely say it’s “an-bhlasta.”
Of these foods, which is your favorite? Scríobh isteach agus inis dúinn, más mian leat!

Tá súil agam gur bhain tú sult as seo agus go raibh cleachtadh teanga maith ann. Más múinteoir thú, b’fhéidir go mbeadh sé úsáideach i rang Gaeilge.
Arís, bheadh sé go deas cloisteáil uait — cé acu seo is fearr leat mar bhia do Lá Fhéile Pádraig nó d’am ar bith sa bhliain.
