NO COS I DONT LIKE IT ONE BIT...
Why is everyone using Beef....Irish stew is made with lamb....I use neck chops which are browned in the oven....Place in a casserole dish with stock, carrots, potatoes, swede and chopped up to equal size...also a small piece of chopped celery.....plenty of black pepper and salt....allow to cook for two or three hours until lamb is tender.....add some more potatoes as others will have broken up and gone into the stock....cook for about 30 mins until potatoes cooked.....spoon into deep dish and eat...I like it with dumplings.
This is a great site and I hope it helps you out.
