We have already had our Bangers and Tatties the other night and will have our corned beef and cabbage dinner tomorrow followed by Irish Eggs Benedict made from the leftovers. Love eating Irish. I see that World Market sells Branston Pickle, will have to get some after reading the post about the Ploughman's lunch, great post- thanks!
Been curing my brisket for 6 days now, it's been very hard not to break down and cook it the last 3 days!
I'm looking forward to the New England Boiled Dinner: corned beef, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage, with horseradish cream and malt vinegar.
Not sure what kind of Irish Soda bread I'll make tomorrow, but I'm sure I'll be in a food coma by 7pm! Which I'd say is an improvement over my previous years state of intoxication by 7pm, less of a hangover.
Not so much a fan of the Irish food, but I'm making the roasted cabbage tonight to go with the asparagus tart AT featured yesterday. I'm still trying to figure out how to love cabbage, so I'll have to try some of these other cabbage recipes, though . . . .
