There are 36.9 million U.S. residents who claimed Irish ancestry in 2009 – more than eight times the population of Ireland itself, according to the 2009 American Community Survey. In fact, Irish is second to German as the most frequently reported ancestry in America. Nearly a quarter of the people in Massachusetts (24%) claim Irish ancestry.

I’m thinking I must have been Irish in a previous life because I feel so at home in Ireland. Having just gotten back a week ago, I’m still savoring the pleasure of having visited with so many gracious and talented food stars whose accomplishments have started a buzz about Ireland as the next hot culinary destination, home to extraordinarily good cuisine.
These Irish icons celebrate the country’s natural agricultural gifts, including the grass that produces the milk that makes the butter and cheeses. The best way to understand the role of dairy products is to visit a farm. So our Kerrygold food media group stopped at the Cronin dairy farm in North County Cork in time for the milking.
