Dandelion Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I have no idea what this is (haven't googled yet). So I voted "never tried it". What is it? ETA: I just googled it. I think I would like this. Sounds yummy! Quote
Miss Peregrine Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Tried it a couple of weeks ago. SO yum. Quote
Julie in CA Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Easy-Colcannon?keycode=ZFB0313 This looks yummy. I've never tried Colcannon, but it sounds like something I'd like! On another note, I made this today: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chocolate-guinness-cake It was really good. :drool5: Quote
AHASRADA Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I like it, but the rest of my family doesn't. I still voted Yum, but they veto me at home so I never get to make it :( Quote
Mergath Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I like it, dd and dh are sort of meh about it. Quote
In The Great White North Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I imagine it would be a lot better with Irish butter and real cream. Quote
mandymom Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I've never had it, but a few days ago I put it on my meal plan for Sunday. I HOPE it tastes good :) Quote
LaxMom Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I imagine it would be a lot better with Irish butter and real cream. Pulgra and Devon double cream. That'll get you close. Quote
Heatherwith4 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Wow. I hadn't heard of it before, so I googled the recipe. It looks like something I would really, really like! Quote
UrbanSue Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Never tried it but I think I now know what to do with the kale, potatoes, and grassfed butter and cream I have sitting in my kitchen . . . Quote
nmoira Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I'm "meh" on colcannon (too starchy for my taste), but I love braised cabbage. :) Quote
Tap Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Judging by the recipe linked......I don't know it by that name (or any name really LOL) but I remember eating it at home when I was growing up. It was very good and I may make it for my family sometime. :0) I have been wanting cabbage lately so maybe it will be sooner rather than later. Quote
Arcadia Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I just bought 5lb of red potatoes on sale last night. I'll have to get the other ingredients on your recipe and give it a try. Quote
freerange Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 If I make it with a reservoir of melted butter in the middle, my kids love it. Quote
GailV Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I voted "other" because I think St Patrick's Day sucks and all celebrations like this should be banned*. But on other days, go for it. * Years of Irish Dance experience lead to this loathing. I still get twitchy this time of year, like a mild case of PTSD. Quote
nmoira Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 * Years of Irish Dance experience lead to this loathing. I still get twitchy this time of year, like a mild case of PTSD. Whiskey can help with the twitching. Quote
Julie in CA Posted March 16, 2013 Author Posted March 16, 2013 If I make it with a reservoir of melted butter in the middle, my kids love it. Just the term"reservoir of melted butter" has me lovin' this dish already! Surely butter is the answer to all of life's problems. Right? :thumbup: Quote
In the Rain Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I think it should taste great- all of the right ingredients are there. Any time I've made it, I have been disappointed. I've been debating whether or not to even try it again this year. Quote
Orthodox6 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 http://www.tasteofho...keycode=ZFB0313 This looks yummy. I've never tried Colcannon, but it sounds like something I'd like! On another note, I made this today: http://www.tasteofho...e-guinness-cake It was really good. :drool5: I use russets for colcannon, rather than reds. (They "mush" better.) Also, olive oil is our family's preference over butter. We are big-time cabbage fans. Quote
Miss Peregrine Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I used Yukon gold potatoes for mine. Quote
Jayne J Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Whiskey can help with the twitching. But you should probably avoid Irish whiskey, just in case.... Quote
nmoira Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 But you should probably avoid Irish whiskey, just in case.... And Irish Mist. It would make for a boring Irish coffee though. Quote
Jayne J Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 True story--my father-in-law came up for a visit and wanted to go to a bar for some live entertainment, so we took him to a local place. He plays in an Irish band, and spends lots of time in bars/pubs with that flavor, but we live in a small college town with a very different customer base, let's say. He ordered an Irish coffee, and the bartender looked at him for a minute, poured a cup of black coffee, added a shot of whiskey and passed it to him. Poor FIL was so flummoxed and mystified that he couldn't even tell the bartender how very wrong that was. LOL! "Irishing up your coffee" is a bit different than an Irish coffee... Quote
UrbanSue Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Just changed my vote to YUM! We made it for dinner tonight along with sausages and broiled tomatoes. So delicious. And, as I said during dinner, about 4000 times more tasty than normal St. Patrick's Day fare in my family (corned beef and boiled cabbage, :thumbdown: ). I fought the temptation to add bacon, by the way, and I'm glad I did. Quote
Parrothead Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I imagine it would be a lot better with Irish butter and real cream. It is when I make it. It most certainly is not low cal around here. Quote
Parrothead Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Whiskey can help with the twitching. Guinness. Quote
Parrothead Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 *spit* :D Well, we were talking about an Irish dish. Why bring in a Scottish brew? If we were talking about rumbledethumps, then scotch whiskey will be appropriate. ;) Quote
nmoira Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Well, we were talking about an Irish dish. Why bring in a Scottish brew? If we were talking about rumbledethumps, then scotch whiskey will be appropriate. ;) I had to wait to respond until I was at my desktop so I could... :lol: :hurray: Quote
