Great recipes Philip. I've saved them to my favourites so that I can access them any time I like. 
Some of them are the same as our Scottish recipes except that we use Highland Cream instead of Irish Cream or Bailey's.

Mmmm... all those cakes look wonderful but I've found that English (and probably Scottish and Irish) cakes are too sweet and too heavy for my Norwegian palate. I suddenly have a craving for eggs'n'bacon now.

Great recipe site Philip, I was looking thru the ingredients to Grandma's Plum Pudding and discovered that there are no plums  I went to another web site and discovered why. I wonder what other mysteries are squirreled away in recipes?

Those all sound delicious. Since we have cut way back on desserts I think what I will do is just drink the Guinness and Baileys while looking at the photos of the cakes.
Two eggs over medium, hashbrowns or home fries and biscuits (small soft leavened bread similar to a scone) with cream gravy is about as full a breakfast as I can handle and now I'm getting hungry too.

My reason for posting the picture of the cake was i thought it was eye catching!,..and we all long for something sweet now and then,..but one of my favorite dishes or snacks is Boxtie,..it probably has other names depending on where you live,..but its lovely to eat warm and edible when cold
Boxtie

The cakes are very pretty, almost too pretty to cut into.
Latke or Potato Pancakes over here. Great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, add an egg and some flour, make patties and fry them till golden brown. I like mine with sour cream

Hi Jerry,
lol,..i asked that question myself some time back,..and nobody could give me an answer then,..as you know its the mix up way back over naming raisins as plums,..and raisin like fruit,..it got so mixed up people could be heard saying they were going to grow Prunes.
----------------------------------------------------
Toni,..Latke or Potatoe Pancakes over there,..interesting!,..very similar to our Boxtie,..i think i made a mistake getting into food thread,..i am hungry all the time, .

Jerry,..one dish i have to give you is "Irish Stew",..however most of my American friends had NEVER eaten Lamb,..so an Irish Stew with Lamb was out of the question,..but they used Beef,..American Beef,..which of course is banned in all countries this side of the pond since the 8o's,..as are all Dairy Products,..its sad as i like the taste of American Beef,..even Bison Steaks.
http://www.bordbia.ie/aboutfood/recipes/lamb/pages/irishstew.aspx
For Vegetarians,..a typical Irish Recipe is Colcannon
Colcannon - Irish Recipes
Irish Brown Bread,(i eat lots of it),..and Soda Bread.
Irish Brown Bread
Now that should keep you all going.

I have had lamb a couple of times and liked it, you just have a very difficult time finding it at grocery stores around here and when you do it is very expensive. So a good cut of beef will have to do. But since I also have to leave out the onions and turnip the result will probably taste nothing like the original.
The Colcannon sounds good too, even hubby said he would try it...again sans the onion.
Thanks, I have been looking for something new to make.

Growing up in an Irish household lamb was featured quite often. It is one of the few recipes that I can visualize my father preparing. The Irish stew is a welcome recipe. Thank you,
Jerry
