of leftover vegetables (cooked cabbage, cooked carrots, etc.), finely chopped

1 pound of leftover mashed potatoes (about 2 cups).

If there was ever a recipe calling for leftovers, I certainly found it. In Googling Irish dishes, I stumbled upon Bubble and Squeak.

I had some substantial leftovers and decided that I would try to make another Irish dish with those. My corned beef turned out so-so on Wednesday, but the veggies weren’t bad. At that time, we already knew his Irish ancestry from his mom’s side. Patrick’s Day this week, I decided to make some corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes to honor Tom’s paternal and maternal Irish background. She was happy to have met a family relative (but, really, I was not!). Well, I pointed out that Curlee was my husband’s last name and that she and I were not truly blood relatives. She explained that many of the McCurleys had simplified their name to Curlee or Curley in later years.

She gave me a huge hug and claimed very emphatically, “We are RELATED!” She had looked at my badge and saw that my last name was Curlee. In this wonderful account of travelling through Ireland, Peta searches for its gastronomic heartland, introduces her intriguing relatives, discovers her love of music is intricately intertwined with Irish social life and eating habits, and spins tales both traditional and true.When I was at a conference a few years ago, I was approached by a woman I had never seen before.

She dances her way between such traditional fare as Guinness, barmbrack and black puddings and refined fusion dishes of roasted tomato and goat cheese charlotte with lentils and basil oil and cured wild salmon topped off with slugs of fine Irish whiskey. But it didn't take long for Peta to find the world-class restaurants hidden up windy cobbled streets, to savour the delights of grand country cooking, high-quality primary produce and seafood from sleepy fishing villages. Peta always connects with a place through its food, and in visiting the country of her forebears she set herself a difficult task. If Peta hadn't known of her Irish ancestry, her love of potatoes would have betrayed it.
