Apparently corned beef is not an Irish dish but an Irish-American dish, stolen from the American Jews. This actually makes me like it better. I have loved corned beef since I was in the womb.

Scanwiches
I just found this and thought it should be passed on: Scanwiches It’s a blog for scanned pictures of sandwiches, as the name would suggest… at first it’s a bit gross but then it becomes kind of fascinating!
variations on a scone
For recent tea purposes I made two types of scone: ham and cheddar, and cranberry orange. I used the recipe Gloria last tried, with the following variations! Ham and cheddar: Only 2 Tbs of sugar, because of the savory. N.b. the recipe only calls for 1/2 tsp of salt; this is not to be ignored [...]
