Oh, dear. Your family can’t cook so now all Irish people can’t cook. How sad for you but, in fact, the Irish are very adept cooks and in the 60s and 70s when I visited Ireland and England, it was the Irish restaurants who won the foodie awards. Now, of course, England (Great Britain) has matched Europe in its beautiful food.
I come from an NYC Irish-American family who took great pride in what they put on the table.
The fave food was Indian bad Italian was second, it had taste as opposed the local variety, the beer was good though.
My daughter is a trained Classical French Chef, trying to keep her out of the poor house after I croak.
I come from a old time Yankee family and my Grannie could get you to eat poop, to quote my dad.
If you do that recipe for brisket soak it for an hour before cooking.
