Title: CUSTOMS AND CULTURE OF IRELAND..


1
CUSTOMS AND CULTURE OF
IRELAND..

2
Litreture and art of ireland.
  • For a comparatively small country, Ireland has
    made a disproportionate contribution to world
    literature in all its branches, in both the Irish
    and English languages. The island's most
    widely-known literary works are undoubtedly in
    English.
  • Particularly famous examples of such works are
    those of James Joyce, Bram Stoker, Jonathan
    Swift, Oscar Wilde and Ireland's four winners of
    the Nobel Prize for Literature William Butler
    Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett and
    Seamus Heaney.

Litreture and art of ireland
  • The early history of Irish visual art is
    generally considered to begin with early carvings
    found at sites such as Newgrange and is traced
    through Bronze age artefacts, particularly
    ornamental gold objects, and the Celtic brooches
    and illuminated manuscripts of the "Insular"
    Early Medieval period. During the course of the
    19th and 20th centuries, a strong indigenous
    tradition of painting emerged, including such
    figures as John Butler Yeats, William Orpen, Jack
    Yeats and Louis le Brocquy.

Languages spoken in ireland..
  • Irish and English are the most widely spoken
    languages in Ireland. English is the most widely
    spoken language on the island overall, and Irish
    is spoken as a first language only by a small
    minority, primarily, though not exclusively, in
    the government-defined Gaeltacht regions.

Food and drinks of ireland..
  • FOOD IN EARLY IRELAND..
  • There are many references to food and drink in
    early Irish literature. Honey seems to have been
    widely eaten and used in the making of mead. The
    old stories also contain many references to
    banquets, although these may well be greatly
    exaggerated and provide little insight into
    everyday diet. There are also many references to
    fulacht fia, which are archaeological sites
    commonly believed to have once been used for
    cooking venison. The fulacht fia have holes or
    troughs in the ground which can be filled with
    water. Meat can then be cooked by placing hot
    stones in the trough until the water boils. Many
    fulach fia sites have been identified across the
    island of Ireland, and some of them appear to
    have been in use up to the 17th century.

  • FOOD IN IRELAND TODAY!
  • Common meals include pizza, curry, Chinese food,
    and lately, some west African dishes have been
    making an appearance. Supermarket shelves now
    contain ingredients for, among others,
    traditional, European, American
    (Mexican/Tex-Mex), Indian, Polish and Chinese
    dishes.
