Liz: Have you had some experience with the Irish? lifeasamama: Most of the recipe I understood, but there were 2-3 steps that were so unspecific that left me blank. lisaiscooking: It sure is! Thanks for the tip, Allison. I'll never ask for directions in Japan from now on. ;-) Thanks, Meeta! Jeanne: You confuse me, girl. An Irish dish served in a Scottish dinner? :-P Shirley: Thank you very much for your informative comment Shirley. I won't dare to argue with you, because you definitely know what you're talking about. To be honest I was being a bit lazy with the skin thing, but if my readers are up to it, do give it a go!

That recipe looks very good, but I am intrigued to know how anyone could make colcannon incomprehensible? Its the easiest food to make. As you say we usually use kale if it is available and parsnips are an optional (but nice) extra. Irish people traditionally boil the potatoes in their skins, then peel them, but it depends on the type of potatoes you are using as that way is more suited to the very 'floury' potatoes. I usually peel and cut them up then steam them, though there is something special about the flavour of potatoes boiled in their skins. When these were cooked over an open range the water would be poured off, the lid replaced and the cooked potatoes left near the heat to 'dry' and go floury. Hi from Ireland.
