Updated: Great news! Since originally writing this Guinness has gone vegan. Updating the context to reflect this.
Vegetarians and vegans: keep an eye out for the following when visiting Ireland:
1. Some Irish (and British) beers: Some Irish beers are likely to have been manufactured with and to contain trace amounts of a fish product called isinglass. Isinglass can also be an issue with wines. Guinness used to use isinglass up to a few years ago, but is now vegan.
2. Certain breads: much less of an issue now that Guinness is vegan. But I would recommending checking ingredients and many breads may not be vegan.
3. Black pudding: Made with pigs blood.
4. White pudding: Also contains meat.
The food news is that Dublin has numerous vegetarian and vegan restaurants where you won't have to worry about this.
