I enjoyed a few good meals in England and Northern Ireland this past week. First of all, I found a nice restaurant in Ballymoney, NI and had a huge shepherd's pie. Of course, shepherd's pie already includes mashed potatoes on the top, but that doesn't stop the Irish from adding a side dish of more potatoes. I finished the meal with a couple of slices of fruit cake -- good, but not quite as delicious as my Mom's ;)
In Belfast, at the Old Rectory Bed and Breakfast where I stayed, I noticed this bowl of goose eggs in the lobby with a sign, "would you like to try a goose egg?" At the time, no, I wasn't game to try one. But after talking to the hosts, they offered to add one to my Ulster Breakfast the next morning. That breakfast also included black pudding, which I believe is blood sausage... And it is very nice!
