The origins of the English Market trace back to the times of King James
I in 1610, some four hundred years previously and has been officially
trading since 1788.
A mix of traditional Cork fare and exciting
new foods from afar, combined with long standing family-run stalls
contribute to the unique appeal and atmosphere of this market.
Long
recognised by locals as a place to meet, eat and shop, the English
Market offers tourists and locals alike a tantalising range of Irish
food.
Culinary delights include quality meats and fish, herbs, spices, fruit, vegetables, baked delicacies and speciality cheeses.
Some of the more
unique traditional fare includes drisheen (blood sausage), tripe,
spiced beef, buttered eggs and battlebord, (dried salted ling, a member
of the cod family).
