Colcannon
An interesting thing about the traditional American St. Patrick’s Day meal of corned beef and cabbage is that corned beef is not a traditional Irish food at all. When they could get it the Irish ate bacon with their cabbage, beef … Continue reading
The Bogeyman
The Irish food board, Bord Bia, is an organization that I follow on Facebook because of their fabulous recipes using homegrown Irish ingredients. I have duplicated many of their recipes and they have always been good, a la Conor Bofin. … Continue reading
