Coddle has always sent shivers up my spine :)

Basically bang saussages rashers and potatoes in to a heavy pot half fill with water and broil .... uuuaaagghhh


Champ is nicer ;)

mashed potatoes but has to be done with butter and milk and add scallions

There is a something from the south west that looks like black pudding called Drisheen

Basically gellied pigs blood. Then cut like black pudding and fried.

Boiled Sausage :?

It's a mortal sin in my book not to fry or grill a rasher or Sausage ;)

I also feel the same about hot dogs ... :)

Mmmm, i assume we can thank the Yanks for this. Hot dogs out of a tin and boiled. ( throwup smilie ). It's only a matter of time before their "spay-on cheese" crosses the water.

You can't not love Champ. I always mashed the spud and onions with milk only, and then served with a generous knob of melting butter on top, and the chopped green spring onion stems on top too. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

( do the Irish really use the term scallions? )

Always known them as scallions I'm afraid ... Spring onions seems to be an UK term.

As a true blue inner-city Dub I can pass on my coddle recipe. For the pot add spuds, water sausage and rashers plus two whole onions, peeled of course. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simir for an hour.This should be done the day before to enhance flavour. Thicken the coddle with some cornflower mixed in milk. This meal was often prepared on a Saturday night and served for breakfast on Sunday morning. It was very very useful for feeding large families, as was the norm in the fifties and sixties growing up. If you must serve mashed potatoes use warm milk to mash them, not cold. There is of course a hight salt and fat content in this meal so be careful. Try this with a glass of greenore 8 yrs old, to counteract the salt.Regards Liam Murray Kilkenny

Do you folks over there add garlic to the spuds? To me, mashed taters with milk, onions, and butter needs garlic to be complete. Delicious.

Yes Garlic goes well with spuds ... but my fave mash would be ... milk, butter, cracked pepper, mustard seeds or mixed herbs or both ... yummmmm

my wife adds garlic to mash sometimes. very good, but for me, i kind of have to be in the mood for it. it is great with freshly cracked black pepper and good ground sea salt though. and of course, butter and milk. ive known some people to add heavy whipping cream rather than milk

Have to try it with the heavy whipping cream. Would add a sweetness to it.

Since sour cream is popular on baked potatoes, (along with chives) does anyone use sour cream as a garnish?

Gotta have garlic. Non negotiable.

There isn't much that you can't do to a potato. So many good recipes.
