Irish Thought for October 8...

Irish Food

Champ or Poundies

Also known as cally or pandy, champ is a dish of mashed potatoes mixed with milk and scallions, formed into a peak with a well of melted butter in the middle.  The traditional method of eating champ calls of spooning the mashed potatoes from the outer edge and dipping each bite into the well of butter.  The word champ can be defined as "to mash, grind, pound, or crush," which is how champ also got the name poundies.
