Irish summers are known for their unpredictability, leading to peculiar customs. When the sun appears, traditional summer dishes like the Irish summer salad are beloved. Residents often refrain from cooking in hot weather, preferring barbecues if they have a day off. This chaotic yet cherished lifestyle signifies summertime in Ireland, regardless of weather conditions. Beach visits and social gatherings at beer gardens also characterize the experience, establishing a distinct seasonal atmosphere.
Growing up in our house, if the sun came out, then so did the Irish summer salad. Lettuce, tomato, a slice of beetroot, a dollop of coleslaw - you know the drill.
There are rules about cooking in July, apparently. Too hot? The kitchen is closed for business. No work tomorrow? We'll have a barbecue, so.
