Irish Moss

Similar to Iceland moss and used for the same purpose. A determined attempt was made a few years ago to popularise these mosses for use instead of gelatine and isinglass, but the prepared moss was never free from a peculiar and unpleasant taste and the efforts of the manufacturers proved abortive.

Irish Stew

Mutton stewed with potatoes and onions, salt and pepper, until quite tender, and the liquor is reduced to the richness of gravy. A certain essayist assures us that there are three dishes, which, if put upon the bill of fare of a club, are devoured before all else, so that at seven or eight o'clock, when most members dine, there is nothing left of them but the tempting words on the dinner-bill. These dishes are Irish stews, tripe and onions, and liver and bacon! "What a tribute," exclaims our author, "to the homely cookery of Britain".

Isinglass

Made from fish, the best is made from the swim-bladder of the sturgeon. It is used for making jelly and for all the purposes of gelatine but being nearer than that is not now much used. When gelatine was first made in a refined and shredded form it was sold as isinglass.
