This stew was delicious! I did make several modifications, though I'm sure it is just as good in the original. My modifications were: I substituted half of the stock with 1/2 cup of Guinness and 1/2 cup of Bordelaise sauce. I used 1/4 cup of barley instead of potato and put it in after the stock, etc. came to a boil. The last touch is to sprinkle a few drops of red wine vinegar on the bowl as you serve it which gives it that last bit of kick! Overall, a fantasic recipe and I'm happy to be the first to review it!
