Irish Roots

Fennel. Turnips. Leeks.

I’ve hardly cooked with these.

My great grand-mother was born here, but from what I was told, she still considered herself Irish.

 

Potatoes, Carrots. Celery.

These roots I am more familiar with.

What would great-grandmother think if I called myself the “bhean an tí” 
(lady of the house) as I put the fish pie in the oven to bake?
 
Did I pronounce that right?
 
Probably not.
 
I hope I at least got the pie right.
