Some say the irish cooking is pretty bland and it is only the bread that is outstanding... and it is... however i had the best dinner (lunch) that i have ever eaten at the home of a sister to the bahai’s we were traveling with.... it was outstanding..... it was a leg of lamb.... i can’t say i have ever liked or eaten lamb... but it is a local main food ....and as i said it was outstanding even aja ate two helpings.... the vegetables were fresh out of the garden.... i was totally an excited tourist... i had to take out my camera with every dish that appeared.... the aroma was amazing....the taste to die for.... and sitting in a small very traditional irish kitchen added to the amazing experience... of course i sensed her teen children did not know why i was so excited and enjoying it so much..... like most families they just chowed it all down and were off... normally i am the first finished but i was the last... after the home grown fresh garden vegetables and slow roasted leg of lamb.... she served what i thought was a cake... but i am not sure what it is called however, when we cut what looked like the cake open it was full of local berries.... by far the best desert i have ever tasted... the picts i took of every dish do not do the meal justice but it was amazing.... but that was in wexford county in the south of ireland and we have not been as fortunate in the north yet... although we will keep looking... resturants and things are expensive in ireland.... about 40 % more than in victoria which is in itself expensive.... and now that i know a couple of the locals i think i will begin to enquire about the better places to eat
Aja ate LAMB!!!! I never thought that would happen LOL.
