6. Kidney Pie

Also referred to as “steak and kidney pie” this scrumptious pastry is filled with gravy, fried onion, diced kidney (ox, lamb, or pork) and diced beef. The gravy is a salted beef broth seasoned with Worcestershire sauce and black pepper.
 
7. Ice Cream

This divine dessert can be combined with the Guinness to create a float. It’s a refreshing mixture of the stout and sweet vanilla.
