Irish Stew

Two and a half pounds of chops

eight potatoes

four turnips

four small onions

nearly a quart of water

Take some chops from loin of mutton, and place them in stewpan in alternate layers of sliced potatoes and chops.  Add turnips and onions cut into pieces, and then pour in nearly a quart of cold water. Cover stewpan, and let it stew gently until the vegetables are ready to mash and the greater part of the gravy is absorbed. Then place in a dish and serve it up hot.

eight medium-sized potatoes

a large onion sliced, some herbs, salt and pepper

Boil together and press all through a colander.  then thin it with rich milk and add a lump of butter.  Add more seasoning, if necessary.  let it heat well and serve hot.
