Robbie Burns Day. First time I had Guiness stew. I am sure going to buy some for my next stew since

[Marg CDN]

I was absolutely stunned at how rich the broth was, without its relying on salt. This pub was awarded best Irish pub in N.A. so I hope that the stew is not peculiar to it and that I can replicate it. I have never had anything quite this rich. (almost as good as the bagpipers) And I kept waiting for them to march up the stairs above me, but that was not happening.

ooooh I am so heartily impressed. I see some recipes here and will sort through them.

Now I wish I had had the Guinness brownies.

I went to a Burns dinner this weekend, too. Dessert was butter ice cream.

Sounds bad but it was crazy good!

I still have a bottle of Guinness that I have been saving to cook with. And yes, the brownies and stout chocolate cake recipes are at the top of my list! Colleen

Mine was sticky toffee pudding (with ice cream and lots of sugar sauce)

Best STP for me was from a restaurant in Wales. Lots of sauce on that too.

we begged for the recipe and they gave it to us!

 

[Marg CDN]

Have you made it??

 

[marilynfl]

No. Just clung to the recipe that someday I would.

Here's the recipe: Snooty Fox inn (Cheddar, England)....we had traveled from Wales to

Cheddar that day.

Marg, Cook's Country had a recipe a few years ago that I've seen several times on blogs

with rave reviews I see there's a copy here on Epicurious. I've never made it because I'm not a fan of beer and thought it might have too much beer flavor for me. I thought I'd post it for you to see. If you google Guinness beef stew cook's country, you will see blog posts and comments about it.

I save myself for martinis as well. But I did not notice any beer flavour in what I ate & thought it

interesting that people commented on the bitterness. I sure didn't come across it. Also that the beef is not browned first as one cook commented.

I had an Irish friend whom I watched make a soup or stew.......she put everything, including the meat, into a pot and added water. I'm sure my toes were curling, so I now have to try this and rebuke myself.

I am getting excited about this now. (not the rebuke but more stew)

Gonna do it!!

Thanks Curious.
