846.0. "Traditional Irish dish?" by TOLKIN::OROURKE () Tue Dec 18 1990 12:03

    
    My Sister-in-Law is going to and international pot-luck supper, and she
    is supposed to bring a 'traditional Irish dish.'   She is looking for
    some easy to do suggestions.  Also, she doesn't want to do something
    boiled (sacriledge!).
    
    Any ideas?

846.5Irish Anti-Freeze PieHYEND::PALMThu Dec 20 1990 15:1725
    I tried to "invent" an Irish dessert once to compliment my traditional
    St. Patricks Day dinner i.e. Corned Beef, Cabbage, buttered carrots,
    red Bliss potatoes with parsley, soda bread etc. and although it
    it didn't turn out quite as I expected...there was not left either.
    
    I wanted to make like an Irish Mist pie using a chocolate crumb crust
    filled with a mousse-like gelatin type filling flavored with Irish Mist
    (wouldn't it be grand) well I was a little heavy handed with the Mist
    and the pie wouldn't freeze.  It didn't dawn on me until it was all
    gone why (TOO MUCH ALCOHOL).
    
    WE NAMED IT: "Irish Anti-Freeze Pie"
    
    Perhaps you could make a similar creation with just a tad less spirits.
    I think I used a cup of the stuff and it was too much.  Most cookbooks
    would have a filling base ingredient level you could follow and sub-
    stitute the Mist for the chocolate.
    
    My other suggestion would be potatoes mixed up with turnip and cabbage
    I think I saw something about that in this file somewhere...or was it
    a Brit dish (gack).
    
    Let us know what she made for the international dinner.

keVin, I'm going to use your recipe for the roast turkey but I need
to know when it's done.  The old Ottawa Valley method is to stuff the
turkey's arse with Orville Ricketyback unpopped popcorn and place it
in the oven.  You know it's done when it blows its arse off.


All the best for the season to all and I'll see some of you in January
as I distribute Brador and Extra Stock...

    KeVin,
    
    Based upon your pint-count the other night, I'd say you're in no danger
    of frost-bite yourself!
    
    te-he.....sorry...couldn't resist.
    
    By the way, looks like the sister-in-law might go with a 'mixed grill'
    type thing. We'll see!
    
    Happy Holidays everybody!  Happy noting in 1991!

    re: .7  Pat: 
    	
            Turkeys in Canada must be a different kind of bird.
    	    American turkeys are "de-arsed" before we take them home.
    	    Another interesting feature of American turkeys are that
    	    they are born with built in THERMOMETERS   :-)
