For our family reunion this year, my mother and I are putting together a cook book of family recipes. Being a large Irish family, we'd like the title to have an Irish flair. I find plenty of toasts and and drinking related words/sayings but no good food saying that could be used for a cook book title. We're thinking of something like an Irish equivalent to Bon Appétit! Is there such a thing? Any other suggestions for a cook book title would be appreciated. Thanks Sláinte Tim |

I think it's something like "go tú sult as" "may you have enjoyment out of it" but I forgot the correct words. |

"Bain sult as" is enough, the tú is wrong in this case Not sure how appropriate this is for food. Traditionally, people in Ireland have begun a meal with saying Grace, so there is no natural place for saying Bon Appetit. I must check my books, perhap I can find an appropriate aspiration. Or how about the proverb "Is iontach an t-anlann an t-ocras" (Hunger is the best sauce) - why not call the book Anlann Iontach? |
