Irish stew

Irish stew (Irish: stobhach / stobhach Gaelach) is a traditional stew made from lamb, or mutton, (mutton is used as it comes from less tender sheep over a year old and is fattier and has a stronger flavour) as well as potatoes, carrots, onions, and parsley.Stewing is an ancient method of cooking meats that is common throughout the world. However, the Celts did not possess their first bronze cauldrons, copied from Greek models, until the seventh century BC. After the Celtic invasion of Ireland, the cauldron (along with the already established spit) became the dominant cooking tool in ancient Ireland, ovens being practically unknown to the ancient Gaels. The root vegetables and meat (originally goat) for the stew were then all in place, save for the potato. The introduction of the potato, originally a South American crop, did not occur until the after sixteenth century.More recent developments in Irish stews have included the adding of stout beer starting in the twentieth century. In parts of the the Irish diaspora where sheep are less common than in Ireland, such as in Canada and the United States, other meats may be substituted to create a new local variant, primarily this means beef, but also wild or farmed game meats such as moose, wapiti, or bison.Irish stew appears in a famous sequence in the novel Three Men in a Boat, in which the narrator humorously claims that "Irish stew" consists of whatever leftovers one can find.Russell McHugh, while a breakfast presenter on All FM in 2000, successfully convinced listeners that his name was Cockney Rhyming Slang for Irish Stew (as in, "I'll have a bowl of Russell McHugh.").
