My husband had a variation of this in a pub in Sligo last week and loved it:
Steak and Guinness Pie
Ingredients:
• 1 kg Round steak
• 1 Tbsp Flour
• 1 tsp Brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp Raisins (optional)
• 5 x Onions
* 5 c carrots
* 3 x celery sticks
* Garlic
• 300 ml Guinness
• 8 Slices bacon
• 3 oz Lard
• Chopped parsley
• Short pastry
Directions:
Cut the steak into bite sized cubes, roll in seasoned flour, and brown in the lard with the bacon, chopped small. Place the meat in a casserole, peel and chop the veg, and fry until golden before adding them to the meat. Add the raisins (if wanted) and brown sugar, pour in the Guinness, cover tightly and simmer over a low heat or in a very moderate oven (325-350F) for 2 1/2 hours. Stir occasionally, and add a little more Guinness or water if the rich brown gravy gets too thick.
Meanwhile, line a deep pie dish with half the pie crust: bake it blind: then add the Guinness/beef mixture from the casserole, cover with the top layer of pie crust, and bake until finished, probably about 10 more minutes.0 -
Corned beef and cabbage, if made the right way, very low calorie high protein0

Sounds amazing! My fiance freakin' lovesssssssss guinness, I cannot express how much and he's a total carnivore so he can be my guinnie pig to see if I make it right lol0 -
Hi there. I'm in Limerick
Bicarbonate of Soda is Bread Soda. I think that the really traditional Irish Soda Bread is generally plainer...can't imagine that seeds were too available here til the more recent advent of health food shops, lol. Also it is more usually savoury than sweet. I also imagine that smoked salmon was not too plentiful, but nowadays smoked salmon on buttered soda bread is a pretty common and delicious pairing. I was at a symposium in Turkey last year and we had to bring traditional foods and I got a vacuum packed side of smoked salmon and took that with me. A bit addicted to smoked salmon myself. I also prefer soda bread toasted and butter melted on it.
Very traditional is boiled bacon, potatoes and cabbage - dead plain - have to say that I am thrilled to have discovered world foods - for me traditional Irish food is not so exciting. I guess that the ingredients were not so varied or plentiful. Something like a porter cake would also be good? Boxty is a traditional potato pancake - recipes online.
Irish Soda Bread
Wholemeal Flour, 250 g
Plain (white) Flour, 250 g
Butter - Salted, 30 g
Baking soda, 1 tsp
Milk - Buttermilk, lowfat, 1.5 cup
Add the butter to the dry ingredients and rub it in - Add the buttermilk and mix together - Form into a round cake about 3/4 of an inch high, cut 2 lines across the top (from one side to the other side) to form a cross and bake - about 200C I think - I will have to check, but I imagine if you google Irish soda you will find the temperatures and cooking times are all about the same.

Lordy, Catholics are DEFINITELY allowed to drink! :drinker: :laugh: Wine is an important part of the Mass. I think more Christian religions allow alcohol consumption than forbid it, actually.0

I see someone hmentioned barmbrack - one of my favourite things in the world! Now there is where tradition gets it right!0

Wiener Schnitzel is austrian
("Vienna style")
you could always make a "Streuselkuchen", I think that's very german. Or "Kässpätzle" - depending on where your family is from in Germany.0 -
>> Last one <<
Potato farls - great hot or cold
(You could even add stewed pear or apple and blackberries to make the sweet version)
Ingredients
Serves: 4
4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
1 pinch salt
30g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tablespoon melted butter
Prep: 25 mins | Cook: 10 mins
1.
In a pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer on medium-high heat until the centre of the potatoes are tender when checked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain, return potatoes to pot and allow to completely dry out over remaining heat. Mash until smooth.
2.
Place warm mashed potato in medium bowl. Stir in flour, salt and melted butter. Mix lightly until dough forms.
3.
On a well floured surface, knead the dough lightly. The dough will be sticky. Use a floured rolling pin to flatten into a 9 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick.
4.
Cut into quarters using a floured knife.
5.
Sprinkle a little flour into the base of a dry frying pan and cook the farls for 3 minutes on each side or until evenly browned. Season with a little salt and serve straight away.
........ also goes great with another classic Irish dish - bacon and cabbage 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.
Ohhhh, do you have the recipe? I effin' love potato salad! I'm okay with a heart attack on a fork. I'll just work out double the day before and the day after. (=
I asked my mom for her recipe. I can message you with it once I get it. 0 -

<---- Is Catholic, drinks Beer/Wine/Adult drinks
Irish Soda Bread or Corned Beef and Cabbage would be my recommendation.
You could always bring in some Guinness! 0 -

Id love to take some Guinness, but I'm quite sure I'd get in trouble for drinking during school hours. >.> It strictly says no alcohols on campus yet every weekend there's a party and like 3-4 car trunks full of alcohol lol0 -

Excellent, well I hope he enjoys it then. My husband loved it - If the cook in the Sligo pub had been a woman, I think he would have left me for her! 0
