Irish

A dry red wine such as Pinot Noir or a full-bodied white wine like Chardonnay would pair well with the earthy flavors of the mushroom and lentil filling, while a crisp beer like a Belgian witbier or a hoppy IPA would cut through the richness of the buttery mashed potatoes. For a spirit pairing, a classic gin and tonic with a slice of cucumber or a vodka martini with a twist would complement the fresh herbs used in the dish.

A crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio would pair well with the tangy mustard flavor of the dish. A light beer like a Pilsner or Blonde Ale would also complement the dish nicely. For spirits, a classic Gin and Tonic or a Whiskey Sour would be a good match for the savory flavors of the dish.

A full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or a dark beer like a stout would pair well with the rich and hearty flavors of Irish stew. For a spirit pairing, a whiskey neat or on the rocks would complement the dish's savory notes.

A full-bodied red wine, such as a Syrah or Malbec, would pair well with the rich and hearty flavors of the ham hock colcannon. Alternatively, a crisp and refreshing beer, like a pilsner or lager, would balance out the dish's creaminess. For a spirit pairing, a smoky and peaty Scotch whisky would complement the smoky flavor of the ham.

A dry cider or a light beer like a pilsner would pair well with the coddled pork, while a full-bodied red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a rich bourbon would complement the smoky flavor of the bacon.
