Food ... glorious food

Forgot to mention the things we have tried lately. While in Edinburgh we had haggis, neeps and tatties. Even found out that haggis comes in a meat and vegetarian variety. I preferred the vegetarian variety.... but my favourite was neeps.

Since in Ireland, we've had delicious Irish stew, and Dublin Coddle (potato stew with mashed potato and pork sausages) and potato scones ... like the potato cakes we make.

Interesting staying here at this hostel with so many other travellers. Our last hostel experience was much quieter. All rich experiences. Have lots of pictures to add again when we can do it.

Not sure on the haggis - may be a vegetarian version would be OK. The rest sounds good though.

I had to look up the neeps - figured right on the tatties but couldn't work out the neeps but makes sense now.

Think I tried the haggis, neeps and tatties when I was in Edinburgh too (Christmas lunch) and remember being presently surprised :) Very proud of you guys for getting your pub crawl t-shirts too! Well done! Loving reading about your travels, looking forward to more before you return home to CHILLY Clermont! PS - Ireland looks so beautiful in the Summer!
