Sweet and Delicious Irish Soda Bread
03.10.16
For a limited time you can stop by any five Boudin SF’s in Orange County to pick up Boudin’s Irish Soda Bread made with a traditional baking soda leavened recipe and laced with plump raisins. In the mid-1800s, soda bread was often the only food on the tables of families in Ireland. Many continue to honor this age-old tradition by serving Irish Soda Bread as a reminder of how fortunate they are. The fresh-baked Irish Soda Bread available through April 3.
It’s a perfect complement to traditional corn beef and cabbage, or with a glass of Irish whiskey, a pint of beer or a cup of tea. It’s best served with rich, European-style butter, Dubliner cheese and preserves. Boudin’s Irish Soda Bread is $6.29 per loaf.
