My variation on a traditional Dublin dish, Coddle, standard fare of the Dublin working class for centuries. (See below)
While it is so very simple to make and therefore practically impossible to screw up, I did use too many potatoes this time. Half as many would have been perfect. That much potato, simply halved instead of quartered as I did here, will give you something more like the 'proper' Coddle my mother makes, with a much thinner liquid body to it. But, as I said, even this tasted mighty. A perfect dish for either lazy or busy people (ideal for students!). And don't let the phallic appearance of the sausages put you off!
If anyone knows of any variations on this dish from those strange lands that exist beyond the confines of Dublin, I'd love to hear about them. Also, if you try it be sure to let me know how you got on.
