Irish Stew With Vegetables. Price 20c. It should be observed that this dish which is very popular if properly cooked is utterly worthless when the meat is not Btewed tender. 2 breasts of mutton — 4J lbs. 8 potatoes cut, or 16 small — 4 lbs. 8 small onions. 2 turnips. A bunch of parsley and thyme. Salt and pepper and thickening. Saw the mutton briskets in two places lengthwise across the bones and divide them in neat lengths. Put them on in 3 or 4 quarts of water and let stew 3 hours. Parboil all the vegetables in another saucepan, then drain away the water and put them in with the mutton and let cook about an hour longer. It may be necessary to keep out the potatoes if they are of a kind that break when done and steam them separately. Thicken the stew with 2 tablespoons flour
