MANX BROTH
Found at IofM.net for ZWT6. "I don't know how to make it, but I know when it is good" A.H. Laughton, former High Bailiff of Peel. The traditional dish served at a Manx wedding feast was broth which was eaten from wooden bowls knows as piggins and supped with mussel shells called sligs. The guests travelled to church on horseback and when the ceremony was over they would gallop as fast as they were able to the bride's house. The first person to reach the house tried to catch a slipper from the bride's foot, and small pieces of wedding cake were scattered over her head as she was going inside. All the friends and relatives brought something towrads the feast and there would be a lavish spread of fowls and cold meats to follow the broth. A barrel of ale was put on top of a hedge outside the house for people who were not at the wedding, and inside there would be pleanty of jough (ale) and wine.

Steps:
- Boil shin and bone together with a good pinch of salt. Keep topping up the water and when the meat is cooked, take it out. (The meat can be served cold as a separate meal).
- Put the stock on the heat again with the barley which has been soaked overnight. Let the liquid simmer until the barley is cooked, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking. Then add the diced vegetables - turnip, carrot, parsnip, leek, beans, cabbage, celery or whatever is available. Add the tyhme and parsley and keep the broth simmering until the vegetables are cooked through.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: Use a firm-fleshed fish like cod, haddock, or pollock. Avoid oily fish like salmon or mackerel, as they will make the broth too greasy.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your broth the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, you can use frozen or canned vegetables in a pinch.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the vegetables and fish to the pot, make sure there is enough room for them to move around. If the pot is too crowded, the vegetables and fish will not cook evenly.
- Season the broth to taste: Once the broth is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Serve the broth with crusty bread or crackers: Manx broth is traditionally served with crusty bread or crackers. This helps to soak up the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Manx broth is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, Manx broth is a soup that everyone will enjoy.
