Ingredients - Preparation Method:

4 pounds Middle neck of lamb -- cut in One inch chunks 4 pounds Potatoes -- peeled 10 small Onions -- sliced 2 ounces Pearl barley 2 pints Beef stock Salt and pepper to taste "That's the basic recipe. You can add a load of sliced carrots and leeks to make it go further and about 5-6 tsps. of Worchestershire sauce or regular brown sauce wot you Yanks pour over everything!! If you like, you could add a half a pint of Guinness to your stock. I make my stock from the potato peelings, carrot tops, leek ends, and any other stuff I find lurking in the refrigerator. If you chuck in a few moldy lamb bones and boil/simmer for several hours, you should get a damned good stock (strain the liquid or you'll get God knows what stuck in your teeth!!) You'll need to start with about 5 pints of liquid. Then bung everything into a ginormous pan, bring to the boil, and then simmer for about two hours...should taste bloody orgasmic! Salt and pepper to taste, depending on your level of drunkeness!!" From: Judith Caughey, Ardshane House, Holywood, Co. Down, N. Ireland 1992 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
