Tickling Our Tastebuds
by Denise Valentine
Hello, everyone. With the St. Patrick’s Day holiday coming up, I googled “Irish Recipes” to see what would pop up. I
pulled a recipe titled “Irish Stew,” because it appeared to have normal, known ingredients. As I was looking over that list, I
began to wonder: What exactly makes this an Irish recipe?
So, I went right to one of the best sources for “Irish” information on food: The Shamrock Restaurant. I spoke to Ashton
and told her who I was, what recipe I selected, and then asked her what was in it that made it Irish. Turns out that it is the
lamb. She told me that many Irish recipes have lamb as the meat ingredient, including one of their popular dishes, Shepherds
Pie.
I hope you have a Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Try the stew recipe. If you are a little hesitant to try lamb, use the meat of
your choice (not exactly Irish, but still delicious).
