Traditional Irish Recipes

"In this unique assortment of traditional Irish recipes John Murphy has captured a feeling of quaint authenticity that is a delight for the eye, a treat for the collector and a curiosity for the palate. Ingredients range from cockles to sea-water, carrigeen moss, sheep's blood, nettletops and more commonplace items such as buttermilk, flour, currants, potatoes and scallions... The recipes themselves cover the country with yellowman from Ballycastle in the north to drisheen from Cork, taking in on the way grunt soup from the southern shores of Lough Neagh and gur cake & coddle from Dublin"--from front jacket flap and preface.
