...Every now and then it's good to revisit this, and consider how rare it is for an art form to just abruptly be dragged into a new century in front of a significant portion of the planet.

Food on St Patrick's Day (in the USA)...

...is usually Corned Beef & Cabbage, which is the Irish-American version of the original Irish boiled bacon & cabbage, but while the celebratory Irishness is still going strong, try something a bit more authentic.

A nice warm coddle. Not cuddle, coddle, though just as comforting in its own way. (Some sources suggest it's a hangover cure, not that such a thing would ever be necessary at this time of year, oh dear me no.)

Coddle is a stew using potatoes, onions, bacon, sausages, stout-if-desired / stock-if-not, pepper, sage, thyme and Time.

You'll often see it called "Dublin Coddle", but my Mum made Lisburn Coddle lots of times, I've made West Wicklow Coddle more than once, and on one occasion in a Belgian holiday apartment I made Brugsekoddel, which is an OK spelling for something that doesn't exist in any cookbook.

*****

I do remember one amendment I made to Mum's recipe, which met with slight resistance at the time and great appreciation thereafter.

Her coddle was originally cooked on the stove-top, not in the oven, and nothing was pre-cooked. Potatoes were quartered, onions were sliced, bacon was cut into chunks and then everything went into the big iron casserole, then onto the slow back ring, and there it simmered Until Done.

However, the bacon was thick-cut back rashers, and the sausages were pork chipolatas.

Raw, they looked like this:

...and the bacon looked like this:

Cooked in the way Mum initially did, they looked pretty much the same afterwards. The sausages didn't change colour. Nor did the bacon.

While everything tasted fine, the meat parts always looked - to me, anyway - somewhat ... less than appealing. "Surgical appliance pink" is the kindest way to put it, and that's all I'm saying. This is apparently "white coddle" and Dubs can get quite defensive about This Is The Way It SHOULD Look.

I'm not a Dub, so I persuaded Mum to fry both the bacon and sausages first, just enough to get a bit of brown on, and wow! Improvement! I remember my Dad nodding in approval but - because he was Wise - not saying anything aloud until Mum gave it the green light as well.

Doing the coddle in the oven, first with lid on then with lid off, came later and met with equal approval. So did using only half of the onion raw and frying the other half lightly golden in the bacon fat.

Nobody quoted from a movie that wouldn't be made for another decade, but there was a definite feeling of...

*****

There are coddle recipes all over the Net: I've made sure that these are from Ireland to avoid the corned-beef-not-boiled-bacon "adjustment" versions which are definitely out there. I've already seen one with Bratwurst. Just wait, it'll be chorizo next.

Oh, hell's teeth, I was right. And from RTE...

Returning to relative normality, here's Donal Skehan's white coddle and his browned coddle with barley (I'm going to try that one).

Here's Dairina Allen's Frenchified with US measurements version. (I feel considerably less heretical now.)

And finally (OK, not Irish, but it references a couple of the previous ones and is a VERY comprehensive write-up, so gets a pass) Felicity Cloake's Perfect Dublin Coddle (perfect according to who, exactly...?) in The Guardian.

*****

Returning to the beginning, and how boiled bacon became corned beef (a question which prompted @dduane to start an entire website...!)

The traditional Irish meat animal for those who could afford it was the pig, but when Irish immigrants (even before the Great Famine) arrived in the USA, they often lived in the same urban districts as Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe.

For fairly obvious reasons pork, bacon and other piggy products were unavailable in those districts, but salt beef was right there and far cheaper than any meat Irish immigrants had ever seen before.

Insist on tradition or eat what was easy to find? There'd have been contest - and do I sometimes wonder a bit if sauerkraut ever came close to replacing cabbage for the same reason.

The pre-Famine Irish palate liked sour tastes: a German (?) visitor to Ireland in the mid-1600s wrote about about what were called "the best-favoured peasantry in Europe", and mentioned that they had "seventy-several sour milks and creams*, and the sourer they be, the better they like them."

* Yogurt? Kefir? Skyr? Gosh...

Corned beef and Kraut as the immigrants' celebratory "Irish" meal for St Patrick's Day? Maybe, maybe not.

Time for "Immigrant Song" (with kittens).

*****

Corned beef got its name from the size of the salt grains with which the beef was prepared. They were usually bigger than kosher salt, like pinhead oats or even as large as grains of wheat, and their name derived originally from "corned (gun)powder", the large coarse grains used in cannon.

BTW, "corn" has been a generic English term for "grain" for centuries, and "but Europe didn't have corn" is an American mistake assuming the word refers to sweetcorn / maize, which it doesn't.

Lindsey Davis, author of the "Falco" series, had a couple of rants about it and other US-requested "corrections". As she points out, mistakes need corrected but "corn" is not a mistake, just a difference in vocabulary.

*****

In Ancient and Medieval Ireland pig would have included wild boar, the hunting of which was a suitable pastime for warriors and heroes, because Mr Boar took a very dim view of the whole proceeding and wasn't shy about showing it (see "wild boar" in my tags and learn more).

Cattle were for milk, butter, cream and little cattle; also wealth, status, and heroic displays in their theft, defence or recovery. It's no accident that THE great Irish epic is "The Cattle-Raid of Cooley" / Táin Bó Cúailnge (tawn / toyn boh cool-nyah).

Killing a cow for meat was ostentation on a level of lighting cigars with 100-, or even 500-, currency-unit notes. Once it had been cooked and eaten there'd be no more milk, butter, cream or little cattle from that source, so eating beef was showing off And Then Some.

Also, loaning a prize bull to run with someone else's heifers was a sign of great friendship or alliance, while refusing it might be an excuse for enmity or even war. IMO that's what Maeve of Connaught intended all along, picking undiplomatic envoys who would get drunk and shoot their mouths off so the loan was refused and she, insulted, would have an excuse to...

But I digress, as usual. Or again. Or still... :->

*****

For the most part, "pig" mean "domestic porker", and in later periods right up to the Famine, these animals were seldom eaten.

Instead, known as "the gentleman who pays the rent", the family pig ate kitchen scraps and rooted about for other foods, none of which the tenant had to grow or buy for them. These fattened pigs would go to market twice a year, and the money from their sale would literally pay that half-year's rent.

For wealthier (less poor?) farmers, pigs had another advantage. Calves arrived singly, lambs might be a pair, but piglets popped out by the dozen. A sow with (some of) her farrow was even commemorated on the old ha'penny coin...

What with bulls, chickens, hares, horses, hounds, pigs, salmon and stags, the pre-decimal Irish coinage is a good inspiration for some sort of fantasy currency.

But that's another post, for another day.

REWORK YOUTUBE'S POLICIES

Many of you may not know but youtube's content policies changed last month, sparking up alot of angry users and content creators

the changes and policies youtube placed onto creators is absolutly killing rtgame's channel (irish twitch streamer notable for working with lots of other cool dudes: CallMeKevin, JacksepticEye, Nogla, ...) and will detroy alot more channels if not completely reworked.

many creators have allready posted video's about these policies such as: ProZD

penguinz0

(he actually made 2 videos about this change)

and SomeOrdinaryGamers

they all talk about how youtube is currently restricting swearing in videos and thumbnail and how it's barely even possible to comply to the vague and completely bullshit policies

now, back to rtgame's issues about youtube's new restrictions and shit communications

i'll be giving the summerized version but i HIGHLY suggest watching his video which explains everything alot better then i'm about to do

(link to video: https://youtu.be/DRsVDZvmaAE )

so youtube flagged one of his yearly compilation videos, those videos ofcourse, take alot of work and effort to make.

after uploading, youtube restricted his video because it had a content violation and so they placed an age limitation on the entire video

but since the video is a compilation of videos posted in the last year and the other seperate video's that were in the compilation weren't flagged, rtgame (or Daniel) was confused because "why weren't the earlier seperate videos flagged but the compilation of those video's were?" and so RTgame got into contact with Youtube. Youtube responded by flagging 12 of his other videos and an email saying what the problems were and including timestamps

now here's the kicker: Daniel appealed one of the video's (the quarry) before recieving the mail, the appeal was immediately rejected

and that means, after he read the mail explaining what was wrong in the video, he would not be able to lift the content restriction EVEN IF HE REMOVED THE VIOLATING PART OF THE VIDEO

This means that every single video he appealed wouldn't be able to be put back onto the platform without an age restriction killing the reach of his videos and kills the video entirely

the main problem in this is youtubes policies change all the time and every policy applies to every video and even video's placed before the new policy was introduced

meaning that anytime the policies change, creators will have to roll a dice and hope youtube doesn't completely destroy the reach of video's and kill their channels

so, do you think it's fair that content creators we enjoy watching have to work on what is best descriped as a content policy minefield? does this feel like a nice platform that inspires creativity and originality? no, it's not. youtube's new policies are complete and utter bullshit corporate friendly rules made to restrict creativity and originality.

Sunday sounds - Saint Patrick's Day

Today started with just another (festive) 'for God's sake, woman, you're such a sentimental cow'/'last year I am telling you anything special, preposterous prick'.

Irish people can be cantankerous, boisterous, competitive as hell, with a wicked, almost diabolical sense of irony, they are worth every single second of it. No matter where the road leads you, leprechaun optional. Nobody tells stories like them. Nobody does drama like them. Nobody understands things unspoken like them.

At least, in my book.

Precisely because she is a sentimental cow (and happy to remain so, for the duration), this Wilde worshipper is very grateful for everything this wonderful land half gave me. The other half is Spanish and the combo is not exactly for the faint of heart.

For them and not only for them, this:

The road to Dublin might be rocky (and don't we all know something about it!), but it's so worth it. And until then, may God hold us all in the palm of His hand.

The Day After... Everyone is Irish

Weiss was trying to talk with Pyrrha as the Mistralian Champion waited outside JNPR and RWBY's dorms for the return of her partner, and his sister.

Apparently even though their name was Valian in origin, the pair of fraternal twins through their mother's side was predisposed to celebrate the 17th of the third month...

Pyrrha: I'm sorry, but...

Weiss: Are you worried about that dol... I'm mean Jaune and his sister? They are old enough to take care of themselves.

Pyrrha: But they've been gone since yesterday morning. I'm wo...

Jaune/Joan: (drunkenly singing... LOUDLY) What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? Early in the morning!

Pyrrha: Jaune? Joan?

Weiss : are... are they STILL DRINKING?!?

Jaune and Joan stumbled about arms over each other's shoulders, each holding a bottle of... something... probably highly alcoholic
