If you live in a major metropolitan area in the Northeast—Boston, say, or New York City—finding authentic Irish food is pretty easy. You may have to make a few phone calls, but within easy reach you can find numerous shops and importers selling all manner of Irish teas, biscuits, and sausages, even household supplies. In traditionally Irish neighborhoods such as Woodside, Queens, in New York, you’ll even find butchers making fresh Irish sausages and curing their own rashers and boiling bacon, as well as bakeries producing Irish baked goods.
