Belfast and the Best of Northern Ireland
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | We start in bustling Belfast's City Hall and Ulster Museum, then head out to Northern Ireland's favorite resort: Portrush, along the Antrim Coast, where we taste-test Irish whiskey, scramble over some six-sided geology in the Giant's Causeway, drop in on a world-class golf course, and stomp our feet to some traditional music.

Irish Cuisine: An introduction to Irish food in Ireland and Northern Ireland Travel Food Video Transcript:
So hello from Ireland. We are here in Dublin and it is lunchtime so we've tracked down the oldest pub in the whole country. We are here at the Brazen Head which apparently dates back to 1198. That's like what 900 hundred years or so that this place has been around. But I mean obviously not the whole structure is authentic. It is probably just a few bricks and stones. But anyways it is the oldest in the country and we're here for lunch.
So Sam is having his Guinness and I'm going for a nice pot of tea. Got to stay warm in the city. teetotaller. Owe that burns. Oh my gosh. Hahaha. Wow. That is hot. Careful over there. Be careful.
I'm really excited about lunch today. I'm trying something for the first time called Irish Stew. And that consists of mutton, potatoes and onions. And it is considered to be sort of a peasant type of meal. But considering how cold it is outside. It has been hovering around the 15 degree mark and it has been raining a lot. This is the perfect kind of food to help warm us up.
So like Sam was saying the main ingredients in an Irish Stew are usually mutton, potatoes and onions but you can get a little bit fancy with the recipe and start adding different vegetables.
So what I have here actually has carrots, celery and a few different herbs and spices. So I can't wait to try that. I'm really hungry.
So this afternoon we're doing a battle of the drinks. We are ordering two different spiked coffees. Sam is getting the Irish Coffee and I'm getting the Baileys Coffee. And we're going to see which one is the tastiest.
So I've known for a while I've wanted to do an Irish Coffee taste test video but of course I didn't know where to go.
While walking around the streets of Dublin we found a place that said: This has got the best Irish Coffee in the city.
Breakfast time in Belfast! So since we've been in Ireland my favorite meal has been breakfast. And it's been a full Irish breakfast. We're now in Belfast and over here it is called an Ulster Fry. It's slightly different from an Irish breakfast which we'll explain later. But it is a very complete breakfast, it has a lot of different things including bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, tomatoes and a whole bunch of other stuff which we'll show you in a bit.
So today we're up in Belfast and we're trying a traditional Irish and Northern Irish dish. This is called Boxty. And it is basically made with grated potato that is mixed with mashed potatoes and fried in a pan. So Sam and I have ordered to different varieties and we're going to be digging into those because they just arrived and we're so hungry.
This is part of our Travel in Ireland video series showcasing Irish food, Irish culture and Irish cuisine.

N. Ireland - Giant's Causeway & Black Taxi Tour in Belfast
Each time I travel a theme appears out of the experience in new and insightful ways that I never expected. Taking a day tour to Giant's Causeway and Belfast in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom was an amazing experience. I really learned a lot about conflict resolution and brought some new thoughts home to my life and legal practice. Travel broadens your mind, helps with creative problem solving, and makes you a better person in so many ways!
Great story teller version of Giant's Causeway!

Spit & Roast – Bite Into London

Don’t pinch yourself. No, you’re not in the deep Southern States of the USA. And yes, you can find some of the world’s best fried chicken in London. The energetic Amy Shuster graces your YouTube screen to bring you her latest taste review of Spit & Roast’s famous fried chicken sandwich, putting to rest the age old presumption that the tastiest fried chicken is only made in the USA.
Sure, fried chicken does originate from the United States. In fact, the fried chicken dish is a prized African-American trademark, and many people have made their own renditions of one of the tastiest snacks in the world. What makes Southern fried chicken so appealing is that the method of frying in fat and oil seals the meat, keeping it juicy and tender in the centre. The crispy surface is made even more crispy by the fact that it is often dusted in flour, breadcrumbs, buttermilk, and a small, secretive, prized collection of spices.
Whilst Amy was exploring the bohemian Spitalfields Market in London (a wonderfully bizarre collection of craft markets and street food stalls) her keen ear heard that a famous food van was making its way into the parking lot. It’d be bringing with it a serious amount of street food cred, and while all the other stores tried in vain to outsell the Spit & Roast food van, Amy was completely hooked by their famous fried chicken bap.
Started by Ross and Justin, two splendid mates, the Spit & Roast food truck was assembled and made its way onto the streets of London. The owners in tow were adamant in delivering their tasty products to the public, tired of the continuing pressures of the restaurant kitchen. Eager to try something new they developed their own variation of the Southern fried chicken, and placed it on a golden brown bap. But something was missing. Like Tolkien’s Samwise was to Frodo, the Korean hot sauce completed the fried chicken bap, and now we can all sample Spit & Roast’s glorious creation. Spit & Roast doesn’t stop at fried chicken. They also do a magnificent golden rotisserie chicken, as well as their own famous poutine. What’s a poutine? Glad you asked. Poutine is a Canadian dish whereby mounds of French fries are topped with cheese curds and then drenched in steaming hot gravy. Yummy!
Fried chicken isn’t the only dish with origins in the American deep South. Biscuits (that’s scones in the UK) and gravy, grits (that’s a corn based porridge to the untutored) and cheese, collard greens and cornbread. These are all dishes loved by the South. One thing they don’t have though is the popularity which has prompted the fried chicken dish to travel around the world in a multitude of local renditions; much like the fried chicken bap at Spit & Roast.
