Oh, sorry folks for the ucky (gross even) meat reference in the notes that came

with the Traditional Salad recipe (which itself is vegetarian) from Ireland.

Here, to make up for it, is another recipe from a bakery in Ireland and also

The French Village Bakery, on Stranmillis Road, Belfast, Ireland, is well known

in the city of Belfast for their delicious baked products. Henry has owned

this business for 14 years.

Belfast is famous for: wheaten bannock, wheaten loaf and Belfast Bap. The bap

is a simple white bread, formed into round loaves and placed close together on

the baking sheet to bake. The top is dusted with rice flour and is frequently

burned for the flavor it creates. That is what truly makes it unique. The

wheaten loaves are found all over Ireland. They are hardy, crusty, healthy and

full of whole grain taste. The bakers use what they call " treacle fat " , it is

a mixture of margarine, oil and molasses.
