12 Mar 08 - 05:05 AM (#2286093) Subject: RE: Folklore: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: gnomad Thanks for posting this, Conrad, looks interesting and I have bookmarked it for further perusal. We tend not to hear a lot about Irish cookery (I think there is a perception that it scarcely exists) but given the excellence of the ingredients to be found there it strikes me as quite unjust. I'm looking forward to a visit to the West coast in just a few weeks. |

13 Mar 10 - 10:00 PM (#2863683) Subject: RE: Folklore: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: *#1 PEASANT* Glad you liked the blog I hope I can get time to update it next week. Truly a traditional food that does not get proper exposure. Expensive places go to a lot of trouble to decorate but have crappy food and never authentic. |

14 Mar 10 - 07:09 PM (#2864156) Subject: RE: BS: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: *#1 PEASANT* You are welcome. Note that I have a very popular traditional tea time cookbook out. No modern bits and extends to tea, marmalade, and savories. It is advertized on the blog. They make great gifts. Hopefully I will find resources required for an update to the blog soon so stop in from time to time. |

14 Mar 10 - 08:53 PM (#2864206) Subject: RE: BS: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: Q (Frank Staplin) Mutton- I switched off the link at the first recipe. I was on a BA flight years ago and they served a dish with mutton. The memory still makes me queasy. Lamb is fine, but the animal is only good for wool and cheese after one year. |

14 Mar 10 - 09:01 PM (#2864209) Subject: RE: BS: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: *#1 PEASANT* Very traditional in the Uk and Ireland. Essential for some recipes. Thats why they call it ethnic cooking. A bit different.....just cook it longer |

15 Mar 10 - 06:34 PM (#2864818) Subject: RE: BS: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: annamill Hi #1 PEASANT! I'm an old Mudcatter from way back but I haven't been here for quite awhile. I went to you blog and found it fascinating and I loved the recipes. I put the link to your blog on my Facebook page for others to enjoy. I hope this is ok. I guess I should have asked first. I also twittered it to my following. I enjoyed it so much that I was very excited to share it with others. If there is a problem please let me know and I will delete it from my Facebook page. This was a great time to start this thread. Annamill |

16 Mar 10 - 09:10 AM (#2865200) Subject: RE: BS: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: mayomick Sorry for that last post without a content. I was going to ask Conrad about the picture on the front page of his blog showing an ancient Irish feast. There's a fella warming his arse by the fire . Is that some distant relation Conrad? |

16 Mar 10 - 03:16 PM (#2865450) Subject: RE: BS: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: Penny S. I found some mutton some time ago and made the best Irish stew I had tasted for ages. Meat melted in the mouth, but the flavour was so - well, flavoury. Could it be that mutton has more umami? Can't get the stuff at all recently. And yes, I know that flavoury isn't a word, but flavoursome seemed too posh. Penny |

16 Mar 10 - 03:21 PM (#2865454) Subject: RE: BS: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: Penny S. And now I've looked at the blog, I'm happy I've got things right - supermarkets now sell versions with lamb, and other vegetables - carrots - even peas. Penny |

16 Mar 10 - 03:47 PM (#2865480) Subject: RE: BS: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: Q (Frank Staplin) Mutton's stench, when cooking, is enough to make one vegetarian. Luckily only lamb is sold in markets here. (Alberta, with beef, lovely beef, and few sheep). |

16 Mar 10 - 05:09 PM (#2865542) Subject: RE: BS: Real Irish Cookery Blog From: *#1 PEASANT* Dont know that guy but it is one of the oldest depictions of an Irish chieftain's event all be it from an anglo norman perspective. So one must use what is there. Nothing earlier but sometime I have to go through the manuscripts just to be sure. In Ireland beef was a high status and high income item therefore mutton. But there is a quality in mutton that can not be replicated so to get historically with it....therefore... But of course substitute what you will.... Irish stew however should always be lamb- British stew would be beef as in the roast beef of olde england. I am continually surprised at the number of Irish american events that substitute beef. It is these days cheaper so maybe they are rationalizing. Strange also that on greek indepenedence day here in baltimore just after tomorrow one finds souvlaki in pork and chicken only no lamb. Insane.... I like to recommend adding pepper and sauteing the onions a bit longer till brown rather than translucent to ofset what folks dont like about lamb. When in doubt use lamb. Conrad |
