Tipperary: cheese (cashel blue)?

Just for future reference - Generally, we don't permit 'research' in the forums, but as this is an interesting topic - we'll let it slide.

A question - are you looking for just a food product, or are you also considering dishes associated with a particular county?
Eg, Coddle is a dish, but Dublin Bay Prawns would be considered a food product - both associated with Dublin.

Here's a couple more...
Galway - Connemara Lamb
Kerry - Butter (Kerrygold) & I'll go out on a limb here by also offering Ice Cream (Murphy's of Dingle)

Derry - gravy ring

Funkfield

Leitrim - Boxty

Roscommon Rhubarb Pie??

Not sure how historical to Roscommon it is - but when I moved to Roscommon with the OH his Mum insisted on making it for our first visit because its legendary (apparently!) around those parts and in fairness I don't think I've been into an eatery where it hasn't been on the menu!

Roscommon Rhubarb Tart
This delectable tart is an adaptation of a traditional recipe which was originally cooked in a bastable over the open fire – everyone adores it.
One could also add a couple of teaspoons of freshly grated ginger to the rhubarb, but try it unadorned at first, its seriously good.

Serves 8-10

900g (2lb) red rhubarb
255-285g (9-10oz) granulated sugar

Topping
310g (11oz) flour
20g (¾oz) castor sugar
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
55g (2oz) butter
1 egg
175ml (6floz) full cream milk, approx
egg wash
granulated sugar

23x5cm (9x2inch) round tin. We use a heavy stainless steel sauté pan which works very well, if you don’t have a suitable pan, par cook the rhubarb slightly first.
Preheat the oven to 230C/450F/regulo 8

Trim the rhubarb, wipe with a damp cloth and cut into pieces about 2.5cm (1inch) in length. Put into the base of a tin or sauté pan, sprinkle with the sugar. We put the stainless steel sauté pan on a low heat at this point while we make the dough.

Sieve all the dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut the butter into cubes and rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Whisk the egg with the milk. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, pour in the liquid all at once and mix to a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured board and roll into a 23cm (9inch) round about 2.5cm (1inch) thick. Place this round on top of the rhubarb and tuck in the edges neatly. Brush with a little egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

Bake in the fully preheated oven for 15 minutes then, reduce the temperature to 180C/350F/regulo 4 for a further 30 minutes approx. or until the top is crusty and golden and the rhubarb soft and juicy.

Remove from the oven and allow to sit for a few minutes. Put a warm plate over the top of the sauté pan, turn upside down onto the plate but be careful of the hot juices.

Serve warm with soft brown sugar and cream.

Thanks so much guys, I only have a few left:
Down, Armagh, Kildare, Meath, Westmeath, Offally, Laoise.

That map is mad.
I wouldn't be taking it too seriously.
Some of the foods are just randomly put in the spare spaces and bear no relation to indiginious regional foods.

Why is the lobster inland ?
beer_revolu - I usually bow to your superior knowledge on all food subjects but "Louth - parsnips" What's that about ?

Anyway, I'll try to be helpful. Here are some suggestions with explanations

Louth - oysters ( Carlingford)
Armagh - Apples - known as the orchard of Ireland
Donegal - Potatoes - ones of the main crops grown there
Meath - Beef - Plenty of beef farmers in Meath
Westmeath - Beef - Most farming in Westmeath is beef

Offaly- To be fair, no-one really knows what happens in Offaly.
