Not just for vegetarians!

We're pretty proud of our Colcannon--that's in large part because it's so popular.  But it wouldn't be so appealing, if it wasn't so darn good! 

In describing this traditional dish, I'll list out the ingredients just to see the reaction: carrots, potatoes, turnips, and cabbage, mashed together with salt, pepper and butter.  Most are clearly dubious, that this odd combination could be as yummy as it is. 

Though vegetarians love, love, love Colcannon, more often I hear variations of, "I don't like most of what's in it!"  It matters less that you like the ingredients, because all together Colcannon is a taste sensation that stands alone.  There's just something about the combination that's magical! 

Be prepared, if you taste it--you'll likely become a Colcannon fan too! :o)
