Bass wants to help you make a better Black and Tan

Well it's St. Patrick's Day weekend. I know a lot of you will be out celebrating the Irish tonight. A lot of corned beef will be eaten and a lot of green beer will be consumed. Probably no small amount of back and tans will also be had, and Bass wants to help you out with that.

The majority of these beer cocktails are poured using the back of a spoon, but that doesn't have to be. Your friends at Bass have a new gadget that will help you get the perfect pour every time. It's called the Brolly, and Bass wants you to have one for free. All you have to do is register for it, and be 21 or older of course, over at the Bass website. They also have step by step instructions as well as a demonstration video.

Even if you don't get the Brolly in time for St Paddy's this year, you can have it for next and with lots of practice. So go out and have a black and tan or two (responsibly) and celebrate the Irish in all of us!

Kale Filled Potato Pancakes

Another super-tasty Irish dish to enjoy on St Patrick's Day and according to the magazine in which I found it (March issue of Fresh magazine) it is rich in nutrients, folic acid, vitamin c and fibre.

For the Pancakes

450g peeled potatoes diced
60g plain flour
200ml milk

For the Filling

225g diced back bacon
85g unsalted butter
450g Kale or other greens finely shredded

Put the potatoes and flour in a food processor or blender with enough milk to make a batter. Let it rest while preparing the filling.

Dry-fry the bacon, add a third of the butter. Add the kale or veg and a few tablespoons of water. Boil vigorously for five minutes and then drain. Heat the rest of the butter in a frying pan and use about a quarter of the batter mixture to make a slim pancake. Cook until golden brown on the bottom. Top with a quarter of the filling fold over and serve. Should make 4 pancakes.

My only question is - should the potatoes be boiled first?
