  It was cheap and hearty enough to feed the masses but now costs 22 euro per portion

  I&apos;m from Ireland and Gallaghers is OK to go to for stew or other Irish dishes, but if you are a tourist there are much much cheaper, and better places to go to, my advice is to avoid Templebar completely, it&apos;s massively overpriced, go over the bridge to the northside (the Ha&apos;penny Bridge is through an alleyway just off Templebar), and ask a few locals, The Lotts (just over the bridge) is as decent value as you&apos;ll get in an otherwise outrageously expensive city!

  Every family in Ireland has their own way of doing stew. Carrots, Onions, spuds and meat are usually the base ingredients. Beef is fine and actually more common - lamb is expensive in Ireland and therefore far less likely to end up in a stew.<br>No-one drinks stout with their dinner unless they&apos;re at the pub! And the Irish eat sliced white bread much more often than farmhouse.

  Been to Gallagher Boxty House once, unfortunately like the rest of Temple Bar. They sell a &nbsp;mediocre product, at a high price. It&apos;s just a tourist trap, ripping people off! I would advise any tourist coming to Dublin. Go to Temple Bar for one pint then leave and explore the rest of the city. Better pints, better food and alot cheaper.

  I grew up on Sunday pot roast and leftover Irish stew on Monday. &nbsp;My Irish grandparents were very proud that they came to America and could afford a Sunday roast. &nbsp;It was sooooo good! &nbsp;Very fond memories! &nbsp;I now slip in a little Guinness, barley, peas, and a healthy shot of soy sauce (umami). &nbsp;Also, make some authentic soda bread. &nbsp;Can’t think of better comfort food. &nbsp;Last comment: why go to the Temple Bar area and see other Americans? &nbsp;Go to local pubs and talk to the Irish! &nbsp;They are wonderful people!!!! &nbsp;I speak from personal experience.

  My Mother’s recipe was similar , beef was used &nbsp;at times and very good.HER SECRET, if there were more than 8 people cut the meat smaller

  My son got married in Dublin three years ago and we stayed in a hotel only three minutes from Temple Bar. Had the traditional Irish stew a couple of times. Loved it!

  Never made it with barley, but my dad used to add it to almost every soup or stew he made. &nbsp;Time to revive the family tradition...

  I use to eat this dish in childhood , made by my grandmother , i am from a city in uttar pradesh India .<br>My grandmother always cooks mutton like this , the only difference is that gravy is not thick as there were so many people to feed
