Until I started cooking, I couldn't have told you a single thing about Irish food, except for corned beef and cabbage. And one of the first things I learned was that corned beef is entirely an American thing.

Oh well, at least I can do it vicariously through blogs like yours.Drew http://blog.CookLikeYourGrandmother.com My food roots couldn’t be much further from yours — Italian, Irish, German, but all several generations Americanized — but I know what you mean about discovering your roots through food.
