Derry (/dr/[2]), officially Londonderry (/lndndr/[2]), is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland[3][4] and the

fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland.[5] The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Irish
name Daire or Doiremeaning "oak grove".[6][7] In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and
gained the "London" prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more
usually known colloquially as Derry,[8][9] Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.
Derry has, like most of Ireland, a temperate maritime climate[76] according to the Kppen climate
classification system

Traditional Dishes
Its impossible to talk about Irish food without mentioning the potato. They are often eaten mashed, mixed with cabbage or scallions to
make traditional colcannon or champ. Most traditional Irish foods use simple, basic and cheap ingredients, a reminder of the fact that
they originated in a less affluent past.

Traditional food is alive and well in Northern Ireland. In a historical sense, Northern Ireland's culinary heritage
reflects our shared Ulster-Scots and Irish heritage and traditions. Most traditional dishes have their roots in
potatoes and bread, the staple diet in bygone days and these staple ingredients are still evident in our cuisine.
Traditionally the Ulster Fry was eaten for breakfast everyday, nowadays that pleasure is saved for the
weekend, maybe indulging in a sausage soda or a bacon bap on a week day. However, no visit to Northern
Ireland would be complete without experiencing an Ulster Fry and our Hotels, Guesthouses and Bed &
Breakfast's serve up an Ulster Fry every day! ....
