I baked it for my book club, and we ate it with a basil/pesto type pate and a tomato pate. It was lovely. <br /><br />I didn't have any baking soda (I don't think you can buy it in the Netherlands) so I used some lemon juice, which I read could be used instead. <br /><br />It wasn't quite how the soda bread tastes that I sometimes buy in England, but it was still very nice. For sweet and savory toppings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-13199322143559623622010-07-26T00:02:02.133-04:002010-07-26T00:02:02.133-04:00Heavy, but very very delicious.

I guess the Irish being a rural people, they can handle the calories when they're cleaning out the stables. For us, more sedentary people, it's definitely a very-sometimes type of breakfast. <br /><br />Anyway, the best part of the breakfast is the soda bread so I'm very happy with the recipe! I will try this.
