Food Topic: What's for eatin' ?

Nope, never got one but had quite a few strawberries, blackberries and red currants to test their quality.

+ I spent 3 h peeling prawns/shrimps for the starter before this and that was a lot of quality controlling going on then     Peel 5 - eat 2, so I was kind of stuffed anyway  

We have had Irish stew today (we had it yesterday already and it's always nicer on the second day)
For tommorrow I think, we will have pork shoulder, slow roasted in the oven with red cabbage.

And for christmas I am making some candied pineapples in dark chocolate as a christmas treat *finger lick*

All you pics are looking soooo yummie!!!

clonahmon as you might already know we lived in Dublin for nearly 7 years (97-03) and there's no other food I crave as much as the Irish  

Irish Stew not so much, I'm ashamed to say I'm not a fan of Lamb.

But:
* boiled bacon with parsley sauce
* honey roast ham with apple sauce
* roast beef with horse radish
* boiled and grilled ribs
* Coddle
* a "curry" from the Chipper - cut up

I could go on all night. I love the wholeheartedness of Irish food!

@hatzeva: I didn't know, that you were in Dub for such a long time.

And my stew is never with lamb. Always with beef. I love lamb, esp lamb roast on a sunday.
But my kind of cooking is much influenced by my german childhood. So my irish hubby had a lot of changes in the kitchen to "swallow".
But he loves it.

I love the kind of ear to the ground in the irish coooking. Easy but very tasty. Just if they would learn how to use herbs and spices ;)

Carrots with parsley are devine.
Green beans with summer savory and lamb.... yummie!!
But I love also the easy peasy farmers breakfast with potatoes, eggs, rashers and tomatoes.

I could eat all day (I don't, but hubby does LOL)

And I love the veggies out of our own garden and the quite strange fruit we have in it.
Making jams or fruit leathers out of them... great taste with no added sugar.... I LOVE IT

No lads, I am not such a healthy living person LOL
If eating meat would be forbidden, I would definitely die of starvation.
And if coffe would be forbidden, I wouldn't survive either.

Does anybody know "lost eggs"? Yummie, I can tell you
And now I am craving for something to eat... Think I have to go into the kitchen now.....

Guinea, mind sharing that chowder?
I can smell it from over here   !!

Oh clonahmon, just hear "Rashers" makes my moth water!

Nothing beats a good old Irish breakfast: rashers, black and white pudding, fried egg and a pot of tea (out of a hopeless teapot!) I like beans so would add that too.

Well yum...it all sounds wonderful.  Tonight's menu will be smoked chicken enchiladas and a salad.  Although I'm lazy in the fact I don't roll individual enchiladas.  Instead I layer it like you would a lasagna, saves a ton of time that way.

I think I have to stop talking about foooooood.
It's almost bed time here.
But I LOVE this thread !!

Must admit, I never had enchilladas (but a very good recipe for fuchsiaberry enchilladas with cream) YUMMIEEE

stop stopstop.. I get hungry

Mom made apple pie. Smells wonderful but....

Sister's kids were sick this week and came to visit yesterday. Now...hot tea and saltine crackers are my dinner. If the timeline follows right, then I am in for a rough night.

Can't wait for it to be done Guinea!

I love Chowders, and I love soups, but what really is the difference? Chowder has chunks! Soups have not?? 
Anyway I'm looking forward to your potato and garlic Chowder very much! Huggles from hatzeva
