A lot of things taste better in Ireland: the Guinness, the farmhouse cheese, the fried pork, the dirty spuds. Since some of us aren\'t ready to ditch the St. Patrick\'s-ian mindset, this has to be one of the Emerald Isle\'s best culinary destinations: The English Market in Cork City, an indoor covered market hall and Ireland\'s answer to the lively, delicious Turkish bazaars. It\'s been around since 1786.

Omega-3 fatty acids have a well-earned reputation as one of the most important nutrients in the modern diet. There are three major types of omega-3 fatty acids that are ingested in foods and used by the body: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Salad + Sandwich Bar

Salad & Sandwich Stall

Where the impressive Salad & Sandwich Bar stall is located within the old fish market, you are still able to view parts of the orginal stall that used to be M & E Sheehan's, which started trading in early 1906....

The stall is an impressive sight on any day, offering coffee and refreshments to weary shoppers, as well as beautiful gourmet sandwiches made with the freshest of ingredients every morning. Little delicasies are also on offer, such as tasty Greek 'dolmades', the refresing 'tzatziki' that can be used as a dip, or slices of 'halvas' for those seeking a sweet treat.

If you are looking for fresh home-made soup to accompany your sandwich or just soup by itself then take a seat and taste one of the markets hidden treasures. Come early at lunch time as the queue can be quite long, however the wait is well worth it.

All of the foodstuff and refreshments are available for take-away. Open from early morning until late afternoon.
