Mrs. O'BRIAN' Irish Favourites'
ONE of tho things that must have been noticed in this series is that the kind of dishes made in each country is dictated by the food grown in the country. This is particularly true of Ireland and Irish national dishes. Pig-in the shape of pork or bacon-is the staple meat in Ireland, and for reasons of economy it is usually ; cooked with the cabbage or other vegetable that is to accompany it. Mrs. O'Brian will describe three pork dishes, including the famous Stuffed Pork Steak, the dish that any Irishman will demand if you ask him what he wants for dinner; also two starch dishes, soda bread and potato cakes. But
'the most typically Irish dish that Mrs.
O'Brian describes is a cream made with milk flavouring and ' carigeen moss.' a kind of seaweed which is very healthy and full of iodine. It used to bo possible to get carigeen moss only in seaside villages in Ireland; but now, with the movement to develop Irish industries, it is possible to purchase it at almost any good stores.
