I think I'd like a spoo (that's a reverse oops). you should name your other drinks after jazz musicians! miles davis, duke ellington, count basie, ella fitzgerald, louie armstrong, etc!

you can make some mashed potatoe cakes and sear them on both sides? or is that too gourmet for you? cuz it's not hard really. it just sounds hard...or maybe...eh... um....well traditional fare is really rustic. you could make a load of lamb or beef stew or somthing...

from the kitchen of sangre:
three large baking potatoes (boiled and mashed) butter green cabbage, sautéed with a bit of butter salt pepper, just until softened you can make whatever kind of gravy you want but i would make a demi glace. that's beef stock cooked down until thick and yummy. seasoned with salt and pepper. for the potatoes mix in butter salt and pepper to taste (do not add cream/milk/water anything but the butter to those taters they will break up and be hard to cook later) i say about 1 whole stick of butter (unsalted if you please) get about a table spoon of potatoes and make into a ball in your CLEAN hands, then flatten it down and add in the center of that put the cabbage about a teaspoon. then make another ball of potato and flatten in the same manner as before sealing the edges (don't make too thin you'll regret it) then in a large pan after you have them made up, heat and add about a tbsp of oil and sear on both sides when pan is hot but not smoking, you can also cover these in panko (japanese bread crumbs) and deep fry them. serve right away with gravy on the side. and enjoy!
you can keep them over night if they aren't fried. i don't suggest frying them ahead of time or the potato strach with tighten on you and become crumby. but you can keep the un fried version over night the heat with losen the strach in the moring or whenever. or i suggest a camp stove. they are great and relativly inexpensive

i aint gettin in no pot for nobody!
that recipe with the mashed spuds and cabbage, we call it bubble and squeak!
and Irish soda bread is fantastic, I'd recommend getting hold of some of that, leo! brown is the best, but white has a nice sharp tang to it

boiled bacon and cabbage with lots of spuds is a pretty traditional irish dinner too (that's where the potato cakes came from, it was a good way of using the leftovers)
