BOILED BACON DINNER

I've had a hankering for a traditional Irish boiled bacon dinner. I decided to make it for New Year's Eve to say goodbye to 2009 and welcome in 2010.
In Ireland it is easy to find the right cut of pork for this dish but here in the States it is not as easy. We took a ride over to the Marina Supermarket in San Mateo - a Chinese supermarket that has all kinds of cuts of meat. After navigating the parking lot we finally made it into the crowded store. There were several cuts of pork available but we settled on a cured picnic shoulder.
I am going to boil the bacon for several hours with carrots, cabbage and potatoes. It sounds a little like what Yanks eat for Saint Patrick's Day but in Ireland pork, not beef, is the preferred meat and it is eaten for any festive occasion.

Ar an drochuair níor tháinig sé amach mar a cheap mé. Bhí an bagún an-salach ar fad. Agus bhí sé righin. Ar an taobh eile, bhí na glasraí go h-áillinn. Táim chun an oideas seo a dhéanamh arís ach tá mé chun níos mó taighde a dhéanamh chun an gearradh ceart a fháil.
Tá a fhios agam gur féidir an gearradh ceart a fháil fríd an idirlíon (foodireland.com) ach cuireann sé istech orm nach féidir é a fháil níos áitiúla.
