Ah, sure and you've come to the right place for a taste of the Emerald Isle! Let me tell ya, Irish stew isn't just any ol' soup. It's a hearty, wholesome bowl of comfort that'll warm you from your toes to your nose. Legend has it that this dish was first concocted by a group of Irish farmers who were tired of eating nothing but potatoes. So they threw in some meat, carrots, and onions and voila - Irish stew was born! Of course, these days you can find all sorts of fancy versions with fancy ingredients, but we like to stick to the tried and true recipe that's been passed down from generation to generation. So grab a pint of Guinness and let's get cookin'!
(Oh and we employed a couple of tricks we are pretty sure those Irish farmers had no use for! So let us know what you think!)
