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.

Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

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

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..
