“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Colcannon #1

 

Ingredients

1 lb curly kale or cabbage, cooked
1 lb potatoes, cooked
1 onion, chopped
1 oz dripping per lb. vegetables
1 salt and pepper
1 milk if necessary
1 ring, wrapped in greaseproof paper



 

Preparation

Mash the potatoes or pass them through a food mill. Chop the cabbage
or kale and add it to the potatoes. Mix well. Peel and chop the
onion. Melt a little of the dripping in a large, heavy frying pan and
cook the onion in it. Remove and mix with the potato and cabbage.
Season to taste, and stir in a little milk if the mixture is too
stiff. Add the rest of the dripping to the hot pan and, when very
hot, turn the potato and cabbage mixture into the pan and spread it
out. Fry until brown, then cut it roughly and continue frying until
there are lots of crisp brown pieces. Just before serving, slip in
the wrapped ring ~- the trick, as you can see from the rhyme, is to
make sure the ring doesn't turn up too soon -- then the children will
eat it all willingly!
