Champ is unquestionably one of the most delicious side dishes ever created in Ireland...
Champ
Ingredients:
- 4 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 pound green onions (scallions), chopped
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces butter
Directions:
Boil the potatoes until cooked. Simmer the green onions in milk for about 5 mins. Drain potatoes and mash. Add the hot milk and scallions, salt, pepper and half the butter and mix.
HINT: The secret of success to this Irish potato recipe is making sure all the ingredients are kept very hot while you're preparing it.

About the Diaspora (soldiers for hire)
Garth Brooks- Fresh Horses
by Stephanie Davis, Jenny Yates, Garth Brooks
They say mother earth is breathing
With each wave that finds the shore
Her soul rises in the evening
For to open twilight's door
Her eyes are the stars in heaven
Watching o'er her all the while
And her heart is it in Ireland
Deep within the Emerald Isle
We are forty against hundreds
In someone else's bloody war
We know not why we're fighting
Or what we're dying for
They will storm us in the morning
When the sunlight turns the sky
Death is waiting for its dance know
Fate has sentenced us to die
Chorus:
Ireland I am coming home
I can see your rolling fields of green
And fences made of stone
I am reaching out won't you take my hand
I'm coming home Ireland
Oh the captain he lay bleeding
I can hear him calling me
These men are yours now for the leading
Show them to their destiny
As I look up all around me
I see the ragged tired and torn
I tell them to make ready
Cause we're not waiting for the morn
Chorus
Now the fog is deep and heavy
As we forge the dark and fear
We can hear their horses breathing
As in silence we draw near
There are no words to be spoken
Just a look to say good bye
I draw a breath and night is broken
As I scream our battle cry
Chorus
I am home Ireland
FOOD!
potatoes!
the "fry"
and BEER!
