Your hosts may not be Irish, but we make a mean corned beef and colcannon, not to mention fools of ourselves. Join us as we drink Guinness from the can (wrong!), discuss the etymology of bubble and squeak (not Irish!), and otherwise give St. Patrick an excuse to chase us out of Ireland.

I made an amazing 'stout' chocolate cake for my husband's birthday last month, SO SO good. Found it over here on smitten kitchen's blog: http://smittenkitchen.com/2006/11/ganached-guinness-goodness/
totally worth making.
great episode! i don't eat meat anymore, but i STILL want that corned beef! i'm not brave enough to call your voicemail (yet), but 2 things: my current favorite dark beer is Old Dominion Oak Barrel Stout....I have no idea if it's available on the west coast but it is DAMN good if you see it! Also, I just last night wrote about a completely nontraditional colcannon, which may be blasphemy considering i haven't tried the authentic version yet....will definitely make the version you shared soon!
Had a guinness vanilla shake last night, grilling corned beef a la the recipe on the Weber site tonight.
Great episode!
delightful! i was feeling all low energy today, and am now animated to carry on with my corned beef dinner plan for fourteen on friday. bless your hearts, as my mom would say. just wanted to weigh in on guinness can v. bottle. normally, i'd go for anything in a bottle over a can, but having tried the two side by side, i found the canned to be smoother. like smooth, like the can. am not a beer drinker, but love the black and tan once a year. thanks guys.
oh by the way, lots of folks think that Guinness in a can is the second best way to drink a Guinness, if you can't have one on the factory tour at the St James' Gate brewery. there must be something to that thought, because Guinness keeps playing around with their bottles, with the rocket widget and whatnot.
[...] and food writer (and Portland native) Matthew Amster-Burton called in from Seattle. His new Spilled Milk podcast recently addressed this topic. We even got to indulge in luscious corned beef and rye [...]
with an irish husband, it's definitely (irish) bacon and cabbage back in the motherland (instead of corned beef - a truly american thang).
I visited Ireland last summer with my husband. We had a fantastic time, but unfortunately the food did not contribute to that fun. Most of the "Irish" food we found was meaty, greasy and very very bland. Fortunately, there was no shortage of great beer and lovely foreign cuisine (so long as you were dining before 6 when absolutely everything shuts down, even in the middle of Dublin).
Have either of you ever had Sauerkraut Cake? There are dozens of variations on the web, mostly chocolate, but some spice. You could pretend a slice is a heaping serving of veggies.
Is it related to vinegar pie?
I think David Lebovitz has a chocolate sauerkraut cake in his chocolate book! I've been wanting to try it. Matthew, I feel a sauerkraut episode coming on.
Ooh! Good idea!
i've had colcannon made with kale a lot (yummy) but my dear sweet mother always called it "rumbledethumps." i find this name quite endearing, even if you don't like smashed potatoes so much.
I will never buy pre-corned beef again! Thanks for the inspiration.
