One day, when the three friends and their dog were very hungry, George said, “I’ll make an Irish Stew for dinner. I'll use some vegetables, the cold beef and some other tilings left over from our breakfast.” It seemed to them a wonderful idea. Geoige made a fire, took a pot and poured some riverwater into it. Then he put a dozen of potatoes, a cabbage and about half a peck of peas in the pot. Harris added all the left-overs to the stew; then he found half a tin of salmon and a couple of eggs, and put them into/in, too. There were some other ingredients that they put in the pot. And at last the dog appeared with a dead water rat in his mouth which was his contribution to the dinner. The three friends had a discussion whether or not to put the rat into the stew. Harris said that it would be all right mixed with the other things, but George said, “I’ve never heard of water rats in Irish Stew. So, to be on the safe side, let’s not try experiments.” “If you never try a new thing, how can you tell what it’s like!Think of the man who first tried German sausage!” That Irish Stew was really wonderful. There was something fresh about the meal, it had a new flavour, with a taste like nothing else on earth.
