Irovasdran cuisine is part of the broader culinary tradition of the [[Cultural Regions of Great Kirav#North Coast|North Coast]], but incorporates a heavy Celtic and Ĥeiran Coscivian influence less prominent in other parts of the region. Fish, mutton, and beef are the main protein sources in the Irovasdran diet, supplemented by shellfish (especially oysters). Meats are usually stewed rather than served whole. Fish are usually filletted and either grilled (oilfish) or fried (whitefish) when fresh, and a variety of salted and smoked fish products are popular snacks. Kippers are ubiquitous and are eaten with toast for breakfast. | ||
Whiskey and beer are the primary beverages in Irovasdra. The state has a vigorous local brewing tradition, with some 62% of households and 85% of rural households engaging in home brewing. Irovasdran beer is traditionally made in the {{wp|spruce ale}} or {{wp|heather ale}} style, as hops do not grow well in Irovasdra, and most Irovasdran home brewers continue to use local botanicals rather than imported hops. Nonetheless, the dark beers (particularly oyster stouts) and ciders associated with Irovasdra's neighbouring states across the Aterandics are imported in large quantities. Four commercial distilleries operated in the state, all producing whiskey. The Cair Sinclair distillery in Avercrósan is the fifth-largest Kiravian distillery by output and the third-largest independent one. | Whiskey and beer are the primary beverages in Irovasdra.
