Paddy's Irish Pork Stew

Janice Gill's Note:

The traditional Irish stew is made with mutton but Ireland produces excellent pork and probably this meat is more popular than any other. Serve with Irish beer and mashed potatoes or better yet Colcannon, if desired.

This has a hint of sweet to it but not much else, kind of bland. This was just not for me but I'm glad I tried it. I'm sure other people might enjoy it.
