Traditional Irish Food

[moysider]

Dunno Bod. There little enough beastings around when the hay is being saved. Thats late for cows calving.

Ah the hay is saved fairly late down our way, try and coincide with the cows calving and bringing home the turf. The rest of the year is left for talking about football

Another one for Bod Mor id say,
Carregeen Moss, boiled so it turns to jelly and and taken to ward off the ravages of the winter.

How did I leave out the carrageen moss!! Love the stuff, It's handy for the winter surely. Many a time I was nearly killed collecting the stuff!

Jaysus your some chancer. Far from moss and beastings you were reared. Its not about hay being saved late but the cows calve earlier in the year. You must have had a poor granny lived near the sea in hard times whose only cow calved in July.

Yeah, up around your way the big farmers with yer hundreds of acres, big Landini tractors and big sheds it's a good idea to have cows calving early on in the year but on small farms (couple of acres and a handful of cows) it doesn't work that way.

Chancer? 

Some conlusions you're jumping to!

Bacon and cabbage...and spuds
Mackerel cooked on the tongs with a feed of spuds and a raw onion
Gorra bui (beastings from a cow boiled up)
Cally with spring onions cut up (Ya know the summer is on the way when ya have this!)

I'm almost afraid to ask what beastings are, is it the afterbirth?


Fresh soda bread and wheaten bread still moist, not that shite served up by Ormeau, just off the griddle with melted butter and a dollup of jam. Used to get it most days after coming home from school.

Portadown's gift to the cullinary world spud apple bread. Basically its potato bread filled with bramley apples & loads of sugar, cooked on a griddle & served with butter & more sugar.

Hard to beat bacon and cabbage fried on the pan.  the bacon has to be good and salty   Nice floury spuds as a base, with the bacon and cabbage on top, finished off with 2 runny fried eyes.  Food of the gods

Runny fried eggs with cabbage!! That is is some fcuked up sh*t.I would'nt fancy cleaning your cage.

[magpie seanie]

Bacon and cabbage with the cabbage boiled in the pot with the bacon. Serve with loads of floury spuds. Use butter and/or the cabbage water for extra moisture. I always eat at least two plates of it. Can't get enough.

Is there another way to prepare it?

This mention of frying the cabbage made me think I had to be clear about the way it should be done. Must be an Ulster thing this frying the cabbage. Don't understand why myself.

She had childer in the barn, she had childer in the byre

And lumpsa hairy bacon that she boiled up in the kettle.

If its not fried its not worth a f**k.

That statement holds true for about 90 % of food

I've been told that banana sandwiches are not too common outside Ireland. Might qualify as a TIF.
