clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato.nowadays，it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in ireland.until recently, there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts，except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel.patterns of diet were oldstyled，based firmly on meat and two vegetables (somewhat overcooked)，potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce.now things are very different.tourist demands for predictable，inexpensive fast food are met，as everywhere，with hamburgers and pizzasa better bet being fish and chips.but more sophisticated tastes have introduced whole foods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before)，and a vast number of new restaurants，often french in style，have opened in the main tourist centers.food “events” such as kinsales gourmet festival or galways oyster festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.whatever irish cooking lacks in finesse(精细)，it nearly always makes up for in plenty，and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality.homegrown produce includes rich dairy foods，beef，lamb and pork，and a great variety of seafood.one of its great specialties is soda bread.it is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal.recently there has been a return to simple irish foods such as stews(炖菜) and potato dishes.one of the bestvalue meals in ireland is breakfast.a “traditional irish breakfast” is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads.accommodation rates are nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included，so you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your moneys worth!1 what was irish food like until quite recently?ait was very conservative and uninteresting.bit was influenced by french cooking.cit was very unhealthy.dit was plentiful.2 how has irish food improved in recent years?athere are more french restaurants.bfood produce is fresher.cthere are more kinds.dfood is more expensive.3 how does the passage describe irish cooking today?ait is exciting and interesting.bit is boring and overcooked.cit is plentiful and simple.dit is
