"published containing a recipe for Soda Cake. In Europe, soda breads began to appear in the mid-19th century when bicarbonate of soda first became available for use as a raising agent. Breads, griddle cakes and scones with bicarbonate of soda, plus cream of tartar or tartaric acid became popular in Austria, Britain, Ireland and Poland. Traditional soda bread, eaten in Serbian cuisine, also uses bicarbonate of soda, particularly the traditional ""česnica"" (Serbian Cyrillic: Чесница), a soda bread made at Christmas. In Ireland, the flour is typically made from soft wheat, so soda bread is best made with a cake or"

In Ireland, as elsewhere, the exact constituents of a full breakfast vary, depending on geographical area, personal taste and cultural affiliation. Traditionally, the most common ingredients in Ireland are bacon rashers, pork sausages, fried eggs (or scrambled), white pudding, black pudding, toast and fried tomato. Sauteed field mushrooms are also sometimes included, as well as baked beans, hash browns, liver, and brown soda bread. Fried potato farl, boxty or toast is sometimes served as an alternative to brown soda bread. Limerick in particular has a"

The earliest known recipe for the dessert is from English author Mary Jewry in her cookbooks from the late 19th century. It is prepared using shortcrust pastry, with a thick filling made of golden syrup, also known as light treacle, breadcrumbs, and lemon juice or zest. A modern alternative recipe uses ground almonds in place of the breadcrumbs. The tart is normally served hot or warm with a scoop"
"is sometimes called Bairín Breac, and the term is also used as two words in its more common version. This may be from the Irish word ""bairín"" - a loaf - and ""breac"" - speckled (due to the raisins in it), hence it literally means a speckled loaf (a similar etymology to the Welsh bara brith). Barm Brack is the centre of an Irish Halloween custom. The Halloween Brack traditionally contained various objects baked into the bread and was used as a sort of fortune-telling game. In the barmbrack were: a pea, a stick, a piece of cloth, a small"
"These flatbreads could be wafer thin, like chapati, or thicker like the oatcakes still popular in Scotland. Household equipment included a kneading trough ""lasat"", a kneading slab ""lecc"", a griddle ""lann"" and a griddle turner ""lainnéne"". While oats were the most commonly used grain, bread made from wheat was regarded as a luxury of the aristocratic class. Bread and milk formed the staple of the Irish diet for millennia. From Latin came ""tortine"" meaning a small loaf. Four varieties of porridge are described in old texts as appropriate for various social classes. Traditional porridge was cooked from oats, barley or"
"and Ireland, a weekday breakfast may involve a cereal dish, such as muesli, porridge or cereal, or toast or simply bread spread with jam or marmalade. Tea and coffee remain equally popular accompaniments. Marmalade, originally a Portuguese confection, had been a popular British spread to consume in the evening, before the Scots moved it to the breakfast table in the 18th century. It is however becoming very common to 'skip breakfast' entirely or take coffee or pastries on the morning commute. Portable quick snacks such as granola bars, ready-cut fruit and warm takeaway foods are becoming increasingly commonly consumed away"
"""soda bread"" is restricted to the white savoury form. In the southern provinces of Ireland, the wholemeal variety is usually known as ""brown bread"" and is almost identical to the Ulster wheaten. In some parts of Fermanagh, the white flour form of the bread is described as ""fadge"". The ""griddle cakes"", ""griddle bread"" (or ""soda farls"" in Ulster) take a more rounded shape and have a cross cut in the top to allow the bread to expand. The griddle cake or farl is a more flattened type of bread. It is cooked on a griddle, allowing it to take a"

"Macroom Oatmeal Macroom Oatmeal is a traditional stone-ground Irish oatmeal produced in Macroom, County Cork, Ireland, at Walton's Mill, the last surviving stone mill in Ireland. It was taken aboard Slow Food's Ark of Taste in 2011, one of only seven Irish foods ever selected for the ark. The mill has been operated continuously by the same family since the 1700s. Donal Creedon, great-great-great-great-grandson of founder Richard Walton, now operates the mill. Michelin star-winning chef Myrtle Allen developed the Macroom Biscuit recipe which appears on the package. Macroom oatmeal is stone-ground, then kiln-toasted.

Fried onions or mushrooms are usually added upon request. Filled sodas are a popular choice for breakfast from roadside fast-food vendors. In Scotland, the full breakfast, as with others, contains eggs, back bacon, link sausage, buttered toast, baked beans, and tea or coffee.

This cuisine is based on fresh vegetables, fish, oysters, mussels and other shellfish, and the wide range of hand-made cheeses that are now being produced across the country. Shellfish have increased in popularity, especially due to the high quality shellfish available from the country's coastline. The most popular fish include salmon and cod.

"Custard cream A custard cream is a type of biscuit popular in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Its structure is that of a sandwich, with a creamy, custard-flavoured centre between two flat biscuit layers. Traditionally, the filling was buttercream (which is still used in home-made recipes) but nowadays cheaper fats have replaced butter in mass-produced biscuits. The filling tastes of vanilla and as such is more akin to the taste of custard made with custard powder than egg custard. It is believed that the custard cream biscuit originated in Britain in 1908. They usually have an elaborate baroque"

In the SE region (Skaftafellssýslur), locals knew how to use the lyme grass (""Leymus arenarius"") (; sometimes called the Icelandic grain) for centuries, where it was used in compotes, bread, pancakes, etc. These grain substitutes gave the bread a distinctive character.

In Ulster, the term generally refers to soda bread (soda farls) and, less commonly, potato bread (potato farls), which are also ingredients of an Ulster Fry. It is made as farls (that is to say, flat rounds about 3/4 inch thick which are then cut into quarters). Modern commercially mass-produced potato farls, however, are often rectangular in form.

"Cottage loaf Cottage loaves are a traditional type of bread originating in England. A cottage loaf is characterised by its shape, which is essentially that of two round loaves, one on top of the other, with the upper one being smaller: the shape is similar to that of the French brioche and the ""pain chapeau"" of Finistère. The origins of the name and shape are unknown but possibly extend back hundreds of years. Elizabeth David, who described the cottage loaf in her ""English Bread and Yeast Cookery"", surmised that the shape may have arisen as a way of saving 'floor"

Malt loaf is usually eaten sliced and spread with butter. Malt flour is sometimes used to supplement the flavour of the malt loaf. In 1889, John Montgomerie of Scotland filed a U.S. patent application titled Making Malted Bread which was granted in 1890. This patent asserted a prior patent existed in England dated 1886. Montgomerie claimed a novel saccharification process which involved warming"
"National Loaf The National Loaf was a bread made from wholemeal flour with added calcium and vitamins, introduced in Britain during the Second World War. Introduced in 1942, the loaf (similar to today's brown bread) was made from wholemeal flour to combat wartime shortages of white flour. The loaf was abolished in October 1956. The National Loaf was grey, mushy and unappetising; only one person in seven preferred it to white bread, which became unavailable. The government insisted on it because it saved space in shipping food to Britain and allowed it to better utilize its existing stock of wheat."

Some of them use sweet starch, other sour, or even both. But what gives it its main feature is that it is based on starch cassava and some kind of cheese. The fat - lard, vegetable oil, butter or margarine - acts as a molecular lubrificant, The egg gives colour and flavour to the recipe. The type of cheese varies according to preference or availability. The most used are mozzarella, parmesan, and the"

The demi-baguettes are distributed to shops partially baked and frozen, allowing stores to quickly bake the bread for a ""freshly baked"" roll. An ""all-day breakfast"" sandwich featuring some or all of the above ingredients in a traditional sandwich of sliced bread may be used instead.

"Pullman loaf The pullman loaf, sometimes called the ""sandwich loaf"" or ""pan bread"", is a type of bread made with white flour and baked in a long, narrow, lidded pan. The French term for this style of loaf is ""pain de mie"", or, less commonly, ""pain anglais"". In the United States, many popular mass-produced sliced breads are actually pullman loaves; the slice of such breads is frequently square, with four straight crusts. The name ""Pullman"" was derived from its use in the compact kitchens of the Pullman railway cars. Although the Pullman Company is credited with inventing the lidded baking"
"Shortbread Shortbread is a traditional Scottish biscuit usually made from one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three parts oat flour. Other ingredients like ground rice or cornflour are sometimes added to alter the texture. Modern recipes also often deviate from the original by splitting the sugar into equal parts granulated and icing sugar and many add a portion of salt. Shortbread is different from shortcake, though they are similar: shortcake can be made using vegetable fat instead of butter and usually has a chemical leavening agent such as baking powder, which gives it a different texture.
