Griddle cakes (great when you have a surplus of mash)
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked mashed potato
* 1 medium white onion, chopped into small pieces
* 1/2 cup of grated mature cheddar
Sprig of parsley
1 cup of plain flour, {about 8 ounces}
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1 large egg
Spoonful of olive oil
Preparation:
Put olive oil in pan over a low heat, leave to warm until oil is smoking slightly
Add the cheese, onion and chopped parsley to the potato
Divide the potato mix into small round cakes (about the size of a beer coaster)
Add the milk to the egg
Coat the potato mix in the egg wash and cover thoroughly in flour
Put potato cake into the oil, cook until brown on 1st side
Turn the potato cake over and cook other side until brown
Now you have potato / griddle / boxty cakes
*Cheese and onion are optional. My Dad prefers Stilton and savoy cabbage but each to his own

potatoes and beer
Yeah...if I didn't go to a catholic college, maybe.
I'm pretty sure Catholics eat potatoes and drink beer ... lol They're kind of known for the drinking (I grew up in a Catholic family).
Oh it's a party school, most definitely, there's beer cans everywhere on mondays, BUT I'm taking this to a class, for a grade I can't take beer. (= And yes, please email your friend, I will take any and all recipes.0 -

Can honestly say I've never heard of that. Irish?0 -
Hey there, I am an Iriah girl and the most authentic dish I can think of would be Irish Stew...There are many variations but normally its nicest with Lamb pieces, Potatoes, vegetables such as carrots and parsnip and then an oxtail falvour juice...Some people cheat and actually use the soup and its still lovely but if you google it you should find the suthentice recipe...oh and by the way its yummy. What part of Ireland are you hoping to visit?
All of it! LOL I want to see Dublin of course, as well as Limerick, the "dark hedges" in Northern Ireland, County Kildare, County Mayo and a bunch of others. I really want to be there for at least 2 weeks. I'd love to hit Scottland while I'm in Europe too, but we'll see. I have an "official list" on tripadvisor. (=
Sounds good, Dont forget Cork and Kerry, especially West Cork that leads to Kerry also...There is some beautiful scenery and the people are very down to earth
We've watched so many documentaries and seen and talked to so many people who are from/currently live in Ireland and EVERYONE seems to be extremely nice (growing up in the states I can't say the same thing over here) and my fiance wants to get us work visa's so we can work and live over there. I don't think there's much of a need for my career in eating disorder based psychology but we'll see.
I wouldnt say that there wouldnt be a need. There is an increasing amount of us Irish wanting to be healthier and some to the extreme...And we always welcome something new!0 -

http://allrecipes.com/recipe/kaiserschmarrn/
It's called Kaiserschmarrn. It's actually Austrian, but that's close enough to Germany. It's a sweet pancake-like meal/dessert. One of my favorites. Also, Knudel or Spatzele are good choices for German food.0 -
I'm Scandinavian and Russian so I don't think I can contribute, I just wanted to say I envy you for your class! I have no such classes as my majors are chemistry and statistics.
I do get to make cool acids, however... *evil laugh*

Truly... I've only ever attended Catholic schools (even for college and Master's), and never heard anyone turn down beer or whiskey or indicate that it's somehow wrong or incompatible with Catholic belief. As an American of Irish descent, I feel no shame in the potatoes/beer connection, but I can see how it might be different for Irish nationals.
Bangers and mash, Shepherd's pie... those are British.0 -

Brown Soda Bread Scones
Makes 15-18 scones
Ingredients
225g (8oz) wholemeal flour
225g (8oz) plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
50g (2oz) mixed seeds, such as sesame, pumpkin or sunflower, or golden linseeds (optional)
25g (1oz) butter (optional)
1 egg
100g brown sugar
375-400ml (13-14fl oz) Buttermilk (or I do a 50/50 milk and water mix as it is less fattening)
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F), Gas mark 7.
2. Sift together the flours, salt and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl and mix with the seeds (if using). Add the butter (if using), and rub into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre.
3. In another bowl, whisk the egg with the buttermilk and pour most of the liquid into the flour mixture. Using one hand with your fingers outstretched like a claw, bring the flour and liquid together, adding more buttermilk if necessary. The dough should be quite soft, but not too sticky. Add the sugar to the liquid.
4. Turn onto a floured work surface, and divide into a medium muffin baking tray. (Should divide into about 15 medium sized cakes) Cut a deep cross and sprinkle a pinch of plain white flour on each.
5. Place on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then turn down the heat to 200°C (400°F), Gas mark 6 and cook for 5 minutes more if needed. When cooked, the loaf will sound slightly hollow when tapped on the base. Allow to cool on a wire rack.0 -

I went to middle school with a Russian exchange student, I CANNOT get the language down, LOL. My major didn't make me take this class I think it's an elective but it's pretty awesome to say the least. Very diverse class too.0 -

You have Catholics confused with Southern Baptists! Catholics are most definitely allowed to drink. Even priests drink alcohol.0 -

Growing up, all our food was based around what we could pick, grow or bake so recipes included lots of rhubarb, blackberries, potatoes, pears, apples, cabbage, cabbage, lettuce, carrots and spring onions. Most of these, along with cheddar cheese, fish, homemade soda bread and red meat would be considered the staples of a traditional Irish diet.
Things like rhubarb crumble, apple and pear pie, beetroot and cheese salad, Irish stew, fish stew (with cheese and onion
scones)
How traditional do you want to get? Do you fancy cooking black and white pudding (a mix of blood, grain and herbs) grubeens (boiled pigs feet) Coddle (a stew with boiled sausages) As Holloween is coming up in a few weeks, you could look up the recipe for Barmbrack. This is a sweetbread cake with currents and cherries usually eaten at this time of year.0 -
My boss makes a peach kuchen every summer and it seems pretty simple. Allrecipes had many fruit variations, and given that we're heading into fall and apple season, this apple one might be good:

Definitely NO black and white pudding. I don't think I could stomach it. Same for the grubeens. I love me some ham but not the feets of an oinker. Look at my southern-ness showing. LOL
Barmbrack sounds really good and you've given me great recipes, thank you0 -
Rot Kohl (Red Cabbage)
1 Red Cabbage Cored and Cut apart
1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar or red wine vinegar
2-3 Apples
1 Onion
2 Bay Leaf
1/4 Cup Sugar (or more to taste)
1.5 Cups Water
Salt Pepper
Bring it all to a boil and then let it simmer. You can look up variations of this recipe online. Some recipes add bacon. And other spices. But very German.0 -

I shall google it for a recipe, danke.
I should really brush up on my German. >.>
Anyone know how to say thank you in Gaelic?0 -
I'm surprised no one has said German potato salad. My grandmother used to make this all the time and my mom goes crazy for it. Although, it's probably a good thing that it hasn't been mentioned. It's a heart attack on a fork. I personally have not been brave enough to try it. lol.
On another note...Pretty awesome to find out though that black forest cake is of German decent.
