Nine Fine Irishmen Las Vegas - TRADITIONAL Pub Grub!

[@AllYouCanVegas]

The Irish food at New York New York may (or may not) be authentic, but what about the Italian food at the Venetian Las Vegas? Check out my review of the pizza at the Grand Canal Shoppes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZofShmZ5j9mDm8U

[@lizjoyce4846]

Not really Irish food, the lamb stew would have been a better choice. No corned beef or smoked shoulder with cabbage, potatoes, & carrots

[@adoreedeluca6585]

Loved this.... Could you show us how Eaterly is now with Covid and social distancing? We plan on visiting in September (Family group of 7) and videos show -pre-covid- how crowded and difficult it was to find a table.... Watching, subscribed and taking notes on EVERY SINGLE new video you are doing! Thank you so much, especially in this difficult time for all of us to understand.

[@isabellarose2923]

I was raised in Scotland and Ireland from a mum born in Scotland and nana born in Ireland so I have had Irish food my whole life and the beer battered is not authentic Irish food at all. Now regular fish and chips have become a popular dish in Ireland. But honestly nothing you ordered is what traditional Irish food looks like. I have eaten at nine five Irish men before and nothing tastes authentic I was disappointed but I’m never disappointed in your videos. You are a wonderful KZbinr always a joy to watch.

[@karlgoldsmith8047]

Typical UK pub food. Last time I had pub food it was sausage and mash with onion gravy. The pie is something my mum would cook, just put the mash potato on top and stick in the oven. When it comes to fish and chips, I have about five local, one being literally a five minute walk.

[@chugenkel]

Reading the comments, seems the food wasn't authentic...too bad. I would of tried the Lamb, that may have been awesome! Love your videos!

[@Bestofthelot]

When ground beef is used it is "cottage pie"; when lamb meat is used it is "shepherds pie".

[@thomasrider8221]

You beat me to that comment.

[@annienewton3999]

Ditto as soon as I saw the Shepherds Pie I was like here we go lol 😂

[@kymgould9262]

I was thinking hmmm is that really Shepard’s pie lol mince beef is cottage pie.

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

Yeah its bad when restaurants say shepherds pie and then they skimp and cheat and use beef. Sheep means lamb and if they use beef they should call it Cowherders Pie. And lamb does not even cost that much more then beef.

[@AmeliaBolger]

And cheese has no place on either!

[@evepsaila4614]

I think the reason the batter on fish wasn't crispy was all the vinegar and lemon juice you drizzled on, it certainly looked crispy before ,,, also I think the typical Irish meal would have been the lamb stew , coming from UK and been to Ireland I would recommend that 😊

[@jeffw9652]

Exactly! Let's hose it down and only then biatch about the soggy batter 🤔

[@horseplop9]

Hahha hard to tell. It's not the winning dish at all either way

[@karlgoldsmith8047]

Yeah, it was crispy when he cut into the piece he put on his plate.

[@Agent77X]

Just use salt on the fish.

[@evepsaila4614]

@Checkmate of course we do in UK and that looked amazing fish , but bless him he didn't realise too much vinigar ( it was swimming in it) ruins a lovely taste of the fish ,,, the ivy do a good quality fish in batter

[@KB1693.]

Shepherd's pie is meant to be ground lamb hence shepherd. Cottage Pie is made with ground beef. How authentic can they be if they don't know the difference?

Not value for $$$ overpriced. I love Sherperds Pie but yours was beef that's not Sherperds Pie it's traditionally made with lamb! This restaurant needs to get it's A game on & become more mindful of its brand association. Every thing looked great we get great Bangers & mash in New Zealand as our meat is exported all over the world highly reputable great quality. It's more English food you ate than Irish. Malt vinegar used on chips. Lemon juice on fish as you squeezed it all over you lost crispy! Break a piece of fish squeeze lemon than consume it is best. Your lovely lady is looking amazing she speaks well with conviction & open mind so amazing commentary. I wish she would allow her gorgeous face to shine a couple of times as she's just like you a foodie. But we respect her privacy as you Derek are the show stopper 🤣 But overall all dishes I would try for sure even though their more comfort foods made in colder months so can be heavy for summer months👍awesome presentation Bangers missing side dish some green peas 🤔showing us the bill is great too so we can see costings👍keep living your dreams dining out with you is mouthwatering fun 😊❤❤❤

The fish was soggy because she poured a whole sachet of vinegar on it. The vinegar was for the chips and the lemon for the fish. 😊

[@ammie8659]

Fish and chips is English, not Irish. They do put malt vinegar on both fish and chips. Traditional fish and chips isn't served with lemon.

[@thedublinkitchen9680]

Hi from your friends in Ireland. I have to say the menu is more on the UK side of things. Shepherd's Pie is made from ground lamb, if it's made from beef it's called Cottage Pie. A great Irish dish would be Irish stew or Guinness beef stew. Dublin Bay Prawns are fantastic 👍we have some of the best seafood in the world, from oysters to seabass, mackerel, lobster, crab. The list is endless. Ireland has come along way over the last few years . Our produce is second to none. Grass fed cattle and sheep that are the best 👍. I was in Vegas in 2018 and had a blast 😀 congratulations on getting engaged. I wish the both of you the best of happy times 👍

The Fish and Chips look amazing. Good thing the condiments were handy. The Sausage and mashed potatoes looked delicious. Derrick, you saved what I feel was the best for last. That being the Irish Stew. I liked the ingredients added, melted cheese, meat, and mashed potatoes. No wonder it’s a favorite among the Irish. Derrick, if I can recall correctly in a previous episode, you introduced your lady guest as your fiancé. I think you made a wise choice by including her on your shows. She adds a woman’s perspective to dining and I think she’s awesome. Thanks for sharing your wonderful video as always.

[@charlesmilton296]

The only time I ever had shepherd’s pie was as a high school cafeteria food. BTW, the mist around in the vackground is water vapors for outdoor cooling which works only in dry climates and not humid cities on the east coast.

[@theflyingnini176]

The bangers and mash here in Ireland would have onions in the gravy no mushrooms. The Shepard's pie looked a little dryer than ours would be but it looked good. The most traditional irish dish you could have gotten would have been the Stew. But yes we eat those dishes regularly here in Ireland. Good video.

[@condar419]

I don't know much about Irish food, but what you got was definitely traditional English comfort food. Fish and chips is practically the national dish of England. And low spice levels are also typical. (Except the last few decades, when Indian curries have become so popular!)

[@shellymitchell8567]

My family is Irish and I’m English, and this is def more English food. I enjoy the food at NFI but it’s not proper Irish food. Cottage pie is made with beef, shepherds pie is made with minced lamb. Vinegar or lemon for the fish but generally not both, but that batter looked waaay too soggy. You need to get over to the northern England for the best fish & chips. You need salt and vinegar of the chips. The onion gravy looked pretty good, I really don’t like gravy in the US. That cottage pie looked like the meat needed more gravy in it. The meat looked bland.

That's British (mostly English) food. It should be seasoned well but you should only use a little vineger on your food, the Shepard pie should have a thick gravy that holds the meat together. But it is generally the comfort food we have. P.S. your portion sizes are huge, it would be better to have half the size and half the cost.

[@vissitorsteve]

I've been to Dublin and Belfast a couple of times. Bangers and Mash, Fish and Chips, and Shepard's pie really are traditional Irish fair. The problem is in attempting to find the right place. Good point that soaking your fish in malt vinegar and lemon really takes away from the crispiness, The other thing is trying to find a Bangers and mash that has a skin that pops. In truth, throughout most all of Ireland and England the most popular and authentic food is Indian food. It's been that way for a hundred years.

Anytime I see "Irish Pub" my first thought is fish and chips and bangers. Just seems like they're always good. We've got some good ones here. One tip for eating fish and chips with malt vinegar, don't drown the whole filet in vinegar. It gets soggy. Put a little splash on the bite you're going to take, and that's it. Repeat with each bite. Then it stays crispy.
