    Recipe Introduction


    ROD 3/14/2006 Irish American Day


    Everybody might be Irish on St. Patrick's Day, but the real emigrants from Ireland
    (and their descendents) have made great contributions to American life. Check out
    this list of famous Irish Americans

    Guinness stout gives richness and depth to this lamb stew without any hint of beer
    flavor. Irish stew is traditionally made with lamb, but you may substitute beef
    if you must. The onions, peas, and mushrooms add flavor, but you might wish to add
    some garlic for extra punch. Serve with Irish mashed potatoes called champ or poundies.
    Makes a hearty and filling meal for St. Patrick's Day or any day.
