As Ireland's second largest city, Cork has been overshadowed by Dublin, the capital, for too long, and many people don't know that this little-known city was named the "European Capital of Culture" in 2005.

Music, galleries, cafes, bars, food, there is no less.

While keeping the Irish tradition alive, it is also blooming with the colors of the new era.

Holding a SLR, Ye Kai strolled through the streets of Cork, these Western-style houses and castles on the side of the road made Ye Kai not afraid of wasting the shutter of the SLR in his hand.

A photographer's technique grows when the shutter is constantly being consumed.

On Cole Street, many of the walls have been painted with beautiful graffiti by artists, and some of the realistic graffiti is even exactly the same as real photos, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

When I walked around the market, the fragrance wafting from the second floor attracted Ye Kai to walk into the restaurant.

The first floor is the market, which is more like a supermarket than in China, and it is not noisy at all. In one corner of this market, there is a restaurant called English Market.

Ye Kai stood outside the restaurant and started the live broadcast with his mobile phone.

As soon as I opened it, a barrage came out.

(Late!)

(Arrive fifteen minutes late and lose money!)

(An anchor went out to find a restaurant, but no one was gone.) ）

(Coming, coming)

Ye Kai took the mobile phone and looked at his face up close, he was indeed much more handsome than before, and many small changes together produced a chemical reaction.

"Ahem. He cleared his throat.

turned around, so that the camera could also take pictures of the restaurant signboard behind it: "The first live broadcast, I studied how to open it, let's not talk about it for now." I've found a restaurant now and I'm going to go inside and try it. ”

There are no walls on the side of this restaurant by the door, only a few huge floor-to-ceiling windows, so the view and lighting are very good, and the whole restaurant is very brightly lit.

But the area of the restaurant is not large, the same size as the barbecue restaurant opened by Ye Kai's parents, with only five tables. On the ceiling is an old-looking bladed fan.

But it can only be said that it looks old, but in fact, the thing is still very new, and it should be specially decorated to match the style of the restaurant. On one side of the wall is the kind of lamp that is often seen in the castle, emitting a yellow light, giving the restaurant a hint of warmth.

The bar counter is at the very end, and a small blackboard hangs above it with words written on it.

It turns out that this is an Irish specialty restaurant, and every day it makes a limited number of delicious dishes according to the ingredients purchased.

Ye Kai translated for the audience in the live broadcast room.

"This restaurant, on the second floor of Cork's English Market, is an Irish speciality restaurant, and the specialties vary every day depending on the ingredients, and on the chalkboard is their specials for today.

On the blackboard it is written that today's specialties are homemade black soda bread, beaver farm brown poda bread, farm fish liver, six fried deep squid, and Isa salad. ”

Ye Kai greeted the waiter, "I'm sorry, please come here." ”

A young lady in an apron ran over with a menu and asked, "What do you order?" ”

Ye Kai took the menu, flipped through it, and said, "Irish stew, farm fish liver, hash browns and black pudding, thank you." ”

In fact, farm cod liver in Ireland does not mean the liver of a country farm, fish. It means that there is fish in this dish, there are a lot of fresh lettuce, salads, and many other things.

The waitress walked away with the menu, but after a while, she smiled and brought a bowl of soup and a loaf of bread and said, "Hello, welcome to Ireland, this is the onion soup and poda bread we sent you." ”

"Huh?" Ye Kai let out a strange cry and asked, "How do you know that I just came to Ireland?" ”

She laughed, pointed to the SLR hanging on Ye Kai's chest, and said: "Those with cameras are usually tourists, otherwise they will run to the suburbs, in the city, people like you must be foreign tourists." ”

Ye Kai was also happy, it turned out that he betrayed himself for this reason.

He had eaten an unpalatable meal before that, and now he was hungry, so he took a bite of bread. The bread had just been taken out of the oven, and it was still warm, and when you bite into it, a sweet taste instantly fills your mouth.

The taste of Poda bread is very different from that of domestic bread, it is not a very sweet taste, but has a vegetal fragrance, no wonder it is interpreted as farm bread.

Ye Kai licked his lips, gave the waiter girl a thumbs up, and said, "Great! This is the first time I have eaten bread in Europe, but I don't think there will be any other bread that can surpass his status in my heart." ”

The young lady blushed, smiled sweetly, and went back to help the other guests.

This shop is a bit small, and the location is really remote, it is upstairs in the market, and tourists from other places who have nothing to do will visit the local market?

Unbeknownst to him, the English market is a famous food hub, but it seems that there is no shortage of diners at this restaurant, and the seats fill up quickly, and many people turn to leave after seeing that there are no seats.

At this time, an old man wearing a tuxedo and gray hair sat opposite Ye Kai and ordered a lamb chop.

Seeing Ye Kai's gaze, he asked, "Can I sit here?"

Ye Kai smiled and said, "It's okay, the location is very spacious, please sit casually." ”

then continued to brag with the people in the live broadcast room, and the dishes were quickly served. The dishes look plain, and the farm cod liver is a large plate of lettuce with mashed potatoes, smoked salmon, mackerel, mussels.

Ye Kai took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he was amazed by the taste of the dish.

"Don't look at this dish as ordinary, it's not as beautiful as the food in the general Western restaurant hotel. But the taste is really good, salty and light and black pepper is just right, no more, no less, fantastic. ”

Many people can make hash browns, and the taste is similar at home and abroad, so Ye Kai's next food is Irish stew.

In fact, it is a potato beef stew, but the ingredients in it are different from those used in Chinese cuisine, the beef is very large, with potatoes and carrots of the same size, and sprinkled with chopped coriander.

This dish also comes with two whole potatoes.

Ye Kai likes to eat potatoes very much, this dish is very suitable for Ye Kai's appetite, or the Irish food style is very appetizing to Ye Kai.

Because it is called Potato Island, you eat potatoes in the morning, potatoes at noon, and potatoes at night.

The mobile phone was opened to the corner of the dining table, and he ate it by himself, licking the soup left on his lips from time to time. When you get tired, take a bite of Poda bread and take a sip of onion soup.

Netizens frantically brushed gifts and asked Ye Kai to describe the taste of the dish, Ye Kai turned a deaf ear, and wrote a travelogue at night to describe it.

As for now?

It's important to enjoy the food first.

What could be more important to travel than to see the exotic? and that is, of course, to enjoy exotic food that you have never eaten at home before.
