Introduction to Irish living habits
Communication
Irish people are outgoing and cheerful, treat others sincerely, friendly and tolerant, and always smile when greeting others. Meet, say goodbye, shake hands to express goodwill, and look at each other. When meeting relatives and friends, it is often a kiss or a kiss on the cheek. When you first meet a guest, address him or her by respectful terms such as "Mr.," "Mrs.," "Miss," "Doctor," "Professor," etc. After getting to know each other, you will address them by more affectionate names. In social situations, after introducing yourself, you will usually give your business card.
When invited to an Irish home, you can send flowers or chocolates to the hostess. However, lilies are only suitable for religious festivals, while white flowers are only suitable for funerals and cannot be used for daily communication. If you are invited to a banquet, you can also bring expensive wine or cheese.
They often give gifts on birthdays and Christmas. After receiving a gift, I usually open it immediately and enjoy it with the guests.
Men respect women, and "ladies first" has become common sense.
Food
The staple food of the Irish is bread, and milk and potatoes are also indispensable foods in daily life. I like to stew beef, lamb, pork, etc. with carrots, barley, vegetables and potatoes. The recipes are rich in seafood, such as oysters, lobsters, salmon, etc. are the most common. Specialties include corned beef and cabbage, bacon and cabbage, and hash browns with smoked salmon (smoked salmon on a hash brown with a layer of cheese). For breakfast, office workers mostly have milk, corn or oatmeal, as well as juice, coffee and other drinks. Due to time constraints, lunch usually consists of sandwiches, or a few side dishes at the bar, paired with a glass of Irish rye beer. Dinner is a full meal, usually meat, vegetables and potatoes.
The Irish diet is similar to that of the United Kingdom. They like to put condiments on the table and let the diners season themselves. A family banquet usually includes three meals, namely cold cuts, main course, and dessert. In addition, there will also be a cheese platter, red wine, and drinks such as coffee or tea. The main course is usually meat or fish, served with a variety of vegetables and potato chips, mashed potatoes, etc. and sauces.
Clothes
In social situations, men wear suits and ties, and women wear suits or skirts. When attending an evening reception, wear eveningwear. However, the kilt is the national costume of Irish men, often made of its traditional handmade cloth. In some ceremonies, they like to wear green or orange short skirts. The difference between their short skirts and men's skirts in England and other places is that the skirts here are mainly made of gingham. The traditional clothing of Irish women is a woolen cloak and shawl. The cape is tied in front with a ribbon, forming a bow. Women's skirts are mainly made of linen, mostly green. When a young woman gets married, she will definitely buy a thick red cloak to symbolize good luck, and the scarf tied on her head will be knotted behind her head.
Because Irish people like the color green, locals also like to wear cuckolds. Especially on March 17, Ireland’s National Day, everyone is more likely to wear cuckolds. The shapes of the hats vary, including top hats, tall tubes, and some simply wear a green wig-shaped hat.
Customs
The Irish flag consists of three colors: green, white and orange. Green represents life and strength, and is also the representative color of Catholicism, which is believed by most people in Ireland. White symbolizes hope, and orange represents new sects. These three colors work together to hope for fraternal unity between Catholics and Protestants.
"Clover" is its national flower. During festival celebrations, people like to wear a bouquet of "shamrocks" on their chests. The Irish worship and love the harp pattern, and their national emblem is a harp. Taboo "13" and "Friday". They consider it rude to shake hands crosswise or crosstalk to several people at the same time. If you see a single magpie, you will think that something bad is coming; if you see two magpies at the same time, it means that something good is coming.
