The Wind That Shakes the Barley

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 we watched The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006). To accompany it, Irish Stew with Lamb, Guinness, and Barley.

Ireland's strife in the 1920s is portrayed in this film. First, fighting for independence from the British, and finally, for peace within the country itself. Brothers feel the call of duty and end up on opposing sides of the civil war that took so many Irish lives.

The stew recipe made A LOT, we easily could have halved it. Instead, I ate it for lunch for what felt like forever! But with real lamb, it had a nice robust flavor.
