This was a fond memory of a field trip from school in my youth where Brockle is bound with mushy peas in big vats. Ballyvarna is around 10,000 ft up in the Kerry Mountains and provides the perfect environment for growing brockles. The Poitin is gravity fed from the stills higher up in the mountains and is ice cold. This was long before Coors! Never accept anything but Kerry brockle tart - anything else is a fake!

Serendipity boasting about her home made cooking again! and putting you at @150yrs is a bit much, wouldn't have said over 130 miself. Mind you once you caught the yardie (who realy was a lepricorn in disguise) you could ask for anything I suppose, I would have taken the gold but you opviously got his secret to a long life.

Sort of reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Can't imagine anything made from mushy peas being a delicacy but I'll give it a try next time I'm in Ireland. Awesome job on the drawing and the leprechauns add a nice touch. 10+

Let's see visiting in 1869, so that means you were born in??? Okay are you the missing Brocklebinder brother, G.D.Brocklebinder to the 6 Brocklebinder sisters? It was rumored that he fell into one of the Brockle vats and was lost forever never to be seen again.

I've heard of this factory and I know it's been operating a long time but I'm pretty amazed that you were visiting it in 1869!!!!!!!! Actually, no I'm not..I've always suspected that you were older than you're letting on! BTW, we Mayo people make an even more potent version of Brockle Tart, but I'm not telling you where THAT factory is..this delicacy is too dangerous for incomers! Good PSPing! 10+
