Carrageen Pudding
Recipe by:

This is a pudding made from: Seaweed! The seaweed has no flavour, but does make an amazing thickener. Because of this, it is an excellent vegetarian custard. By using Soy Milk, it can also be turned into a brilliant vegan custard. Your guests will never know that they are having seaweed for dessert. Carrageen can be found or ordered in the U.S. through healthfood shops, where it is sometimes called carrageenan.
Nettle Soup
Recipe by:

This is another very old recipe from my very old Irish recipe book. Although nettles are not as commonly eaten in Ireland today, this weed saved many a family during the famine. Make sure to wear gloves when handling nettles, and use only the leaves, discarding the stems and stingers. Bear in mind that the "sting" cooks out entirely!

Black Pudding Roesti with a Stout and Onion Gravy
Recipe by:
wsf
This takes some of my favourite things from Ireland (Black Pudding, good cheese, potatoes, and stout), and turns them into a fun evening meal. Black pudding can be found online, or try a butchers/grocers that carries a British or Irish selection. If you don't eat blood, then substitute with a slice or two of fine quality ham or corned beef.
Proper Fish and Chips
Recipe by:
wsf
This is a recipe I borrowed from a friend whose family owned a chain of chip shops on the Northside. The chips (french fries to the Yanks) are moist and thick, with a soft centre, while the fish is steamed inside a crispy lager-battered coating! Just add malt vinegar and Maldon's Sea Salt, and you are sorted!
True Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy
Recipe by:
wsf
Bangers and mash gets its name because sausages used to burst (or bang) while cooking, due to rusk being added to the meat. Mash meanwhile, refers to the mashed potatoes. This recipe was a staple at our home in Dublin at Halloween. It is a very cheap, very traditional supper, and one that truly requires good sausage. Try to use a good quality sausage, such as a Cumberland or perhaps even a bratwurst. Please note that this is a very thin gravy, as is traditional. It will still be very liquidy.
Slow Cooker Beef and Guinness Stew
This is our favorite recipe to make when the weather gets cold. It's so easy and delicious. We make this at least once a month throughout the winter.
Slow Cooker Irish Beef Stew with Guinness Beer
Put this in your slow cooker the night of March 16th and you'll have an Irish feast ready to eat all day in honor of St. Paddy. Inspired by Ickenham's "Irish Beef Stew with Guinness Beer."
Oven-Baked Corned Beef Hash
A simple, tasty breakfast casserole. Way cheaper and better than the same thing at your local greasy breakfast joint.
Reuben Baked Potatoes
Out of bread? Turn your reuben sandwich fixin's into a hearty, creamy topping for baked potatoes. Super for your St. Paddy's Day leftovers, if you have any.
