Yes, new to me too. Yummy! Here is one recipe, so that we don't all have to look it up. http://www.donalskehan.com/recipes/gur-cake/
Yeah it is very sweet but the Irish are known for their very sweet tooth... you'd only want a little bit of it, so I'd bring a little tiny bit and it would be enough for everyone...I'm tightfisted like that...
What would a St. Patrick's Day party be without Dublin Coddle?! I'll even add some Irish Soda Bread scones (which I had for lunch today, by the way!)
That looks really good! It's my lunchtime! I'm starving now and I wish I had someone to make me that.
I would if I'd be closer. The scones I just picked up at the bakery this morning... but I tried to make Dublin Coddle a few years ago... turned out way too greasy, but I've seen much better recipes for it lately. I should try it again.
Top ten Irish food and drinks you’ve never heard of. To ‘kipper’ a herring is to split it, bone it, lightly salt it, then smoke it. Usually eaten at breakfast.
Well, I've heard of two. Kipper, of course, and sloes. Because it's what's in sloe gin. And no, I don't touch the stuff or any alcoholic beverage, but I was young once. And even then it only involved trying something and then spontaneously emptying my tummy of it. Uh... that was a whole lot more than I'll bet you wanted to hear, @Joe Riley ... sorry!
Yes, the sausage, @Chrissy Page , but there's bacon in there also. I really should make it again and try something like turkey sausage. I do remember the flavor was good, but the grease was scary.
Don't you have Kippers in the USA Joe?....they are a very common nutritious breakfast food here... very cheap too... I don't like them because they are loaded with bones..it's very hard to de-bone a kipper.. My o/h loves them tho'...
One of the most popular Irish foods is Colcannon ..it's mainly Mashed potato and Cabbage or kale...but often people will add poached egg on top as well..
