Gang, Is anyone planning on celebrating their Irish heritage this year with any traditional dishes or whatever? I am going to fix corned beef with savoy cabbage - steamed in a crockpot with plenty of beer... (even though tradition says it's not a real Irish dish - they say that thick sliced bacon and cabbage is the authentic version); baked winter vegetables (parsnips, carrots, turnips, potatoes, seasoned and sprinkled with olive oil); and Donegal Oatmeal Cream for dessert. That is made with McHann's steel cut oats, whipped cream and diluted fruit (like Polaners). I have been eating steel-cut oats for a long time, and if you've never had them, once you try them you will never go back to Quaker oats again... ha. I think I'd rather have this kind of heritage meal than the Scottish haggis..... barf. Ken
