Cork English Market

It is one of the oldest of its kind. Trading as a market since 1788, it predates most of the other markets like it. Barcelona\'s famous Boqueria market did not start until 80 years after it first started to serve the people of Cork. It has survived the Famine, Revolutions, Wars, Fire and Economic decline..

Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

The market includes a wide choice of healthy, nutritious and flavorsome vegetables, including Organic selections and fruit.

Just looking at these beautiful tasty treats may put on a few calories, but when you taste them its well worth it.
Trading now in the market for a number of years they have started to give to the locals what used to be seen in cookery books or on the television.

Farmhouse Cheese\'s available in the market

On the Pigs Back in the English Market offers excellent cheese and charcuterie from both home and abroad. Whether its for the home table or a restaurant, they can cater for all your needs. The staff are friendly, professional and most important know about all the products they sell.

A lot of things taste better in Ireland: the Guinness, the farmhouse cheese, the fried pork, the dirty spuds. Since some of us aren\'t ready to ditch the St. Patrick\'s-ian mindset, this has to be one of the Emerald Isle\'s best culinary destinations: The English Market in Cork City, an indoor covered market hall and Ireland\'s answer to the lively, delicious Turkish bazaars. It\'s been around since 1786.

General Info

Coeliac (or celiac) disease is a condition that affects the small bowel, caused by an abnormal immune response, or sensitivity, to a dietary protein known as gluten. Sensitivity to gluten causes inflammation and damage to the small intestine, and sometimes the damage is so severe that the intestine is unable to absorb essential nutrients, leading to diarrhoea, vitamin and mineral deficiencies and eventually malnutrition.

The Irish and their vegetables have always been something of a puzzle. How is it that at flower shows and country fetes you can marvel at the delicate tints and perfect flesh of rosy carrots, silvery leeks, snow-white cauliflowers, tomatoes glowing with health, green peas in matchless pods, broad beans and lettuces, radishes and cabbages all bursting with freshness and variety, and then find, all too often, in Irish kitchens, particularly those of hotel restaurants, the saddest sorriest apologies for vegetables that can be seen anywhere in the world.
