Irish hospitality
Emerald Isle generosity
Irish hospitality is the warm, generous welcome traditionally associated with Ireland and its people—offering food, drink, and conversation to guests, sometimes to excess.
The phrase often implies an insistence that visitors eat more, drink more, and stay longer than they intended: We stopped by for an hour and got the full Irish hospitality treatment—three meals and a hangover.
