this is my favorite Irish riddle...in order to get the full effect of this riddle you must say it with an Irish accent...
Why did the woman only put 239 beans in her Irish Stew? .....because if she added one more it would be 240.
IRISH STEW
first saute halved or quartered carrots and onions with cubed mutton or lamb in rendered lamb fat, then add 1 cup Irish whiskey and boil rapidly for a couple of minutes. Add 2 pints of stock and seasoning to taste. Whole potatoes go on top and the stew is gently simmered for 1-1 1/2 hours. Then the cooking liquid is poured off, degreased thickened with beurre manie and a tbs each of butter parsley and chives before it is poured back in.
IRISH COFFEE SAUCE
1 cup sugar
1/3cup water
1 cup strong cofffee
2 tbs Paddys whiskey
mix sugar and water in small saucepan, on low-medium heat stirring constantly, until turning a golden color, remove from heat add coffee until a smooth consistency, add whiskey. serve on souffles or on vanilla or coffee ice cream.
IRISH WHISKEY CREAM
1 tbs whiskey folded into 1 pint of sweetened whipped cream, serve on mince pie, plum pudding, fresh strawberries or folded between 2 coffee meringues
