I'm studying abroad next year, and have my locations narrowed down to two places: Ireland or New Zealand. I've done a tons of thinking and comparing, and have come to the conclusion that both locations have a similar price point, offer what I need for my studies, have cultures I'm interested in, and are places my family would like to come visit.

I'm attempting to think of any other factors which may help me make a decision, and food came to mind. What are the foods like in both of these places? Where would you rather spend time to experience the food? Any dishes I should try while I'm there?
