Researchers found that across the board, there appears to be a decreased interest in hearty meat and potato-based dishes and a higher interest in home-baked items, like Irish soda bread, Barmbrack, and Irish pasties (which involves putting beef and potatoes inside a pastry). In fact, the recipe with the biggest rise in searches across the country—increasing by 2,813 percent—is baked soda bread.

Breakfast has also appeared to peak in overall interest, with a 1,823 percent rise in searches for a full Irish breakfast and a 1,062 percent rise in searches for Irish coffee. A full Irish breakfast typically consists of bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans, eggs, boxty, Irish soda or brown bread, and black or white pudding. According to the survey, black and white pudding saw a 1,369 percent increase in Google searches.
