The original Irish Stew 1 am told, and correct me if you know this to be wrong, consisted of only four things -- lamb, potatoes, pepper, salt and water. They did substitute another liquid when it had simmered down and needed more juices added to it. Plen- ty of pepper brought out the flavour to the lamb. However, to- day we have added to the stew, vegetables, as we of another generation find our tastes do change from time to time. That is why we, as food lovers, like to :tit variety in our meals for the good of our families and business. There's nothing like an Irish Stew, To warm the heart; 'tis true, Exuding seasonal fumes of pro- per length Proving in union their potent strength.
