  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  8             slices  ham or bacon -- large chunks
                        -- 1/2-inch thick
  4              large  onions -- sliced
  4        tablespoons  chopped parsley
  2             pounds  potatoes -- peeled and sliced
  1              quart  boiling water
  8                     pork sausages

Preparation:

Boil the sausages and bacon or ham in the boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid. Put the meat into a large saucepan or oven-proof dish with the thinly sliced onions and potatoes and chopped parsley. Season to taste and add enough of the stock to barely cover. Lay wax paper on top and put on the lid. Simmer gently or cook in a slow oven for about 1 hour or until the liquid is reduced by half. Serving suggestions: serve hot with vegetables on top and fresh soda bread and glasses of Guinness.
