Irish cuisine encompasses the cooking styles, traditions and recipes associated with the island of Ireland. It developed from antiquity through centuries of social and political change and the mixing of cultures, predominantly those of nearby Britain and other European regions. It rests on the crops and animals farmed in a temperate climate and on the abundance of fresh fish and seafood from the Atlantic. Potatoes were widely adopted in the eighteenth century and became the main crop the working class could afford, while oats were the most commonly used grain. Representative dishes include Irish stew, bacon and cabbage, boxty, soda bread, coddle and colcannon.
