[Sca-cooks] Irish Stew recipe

I don't think you will find one. So far as I know, there are no
period Irish cookbooks. And you don't get anything much like a modern
stew in the English cookbooks, which do go back to the end of your
period. There's a "beef y-stewed," but the only vegetable, as best I
recall, is onions.

Sorry. As a general rule, one does better starting with a
cuisine--15th century Italian, say--and seeing what recipes exist
than starting with a particular sort of recipe and a cuisine and
hoping that that cuisine not only had that kind of recipe but
recorded it.
