Mussels are low in total and saturated fat but are one of the richest shellfish sources of a type of heart-healthy unsaturated fatty acid known collectively as the omega-3 fatty acids. A 3 ounce serving of blue mussels, cooked in moist heat, provides over 700 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids.
Irish potato cakes. Irish potato cakes are typically made from mashed potato and flour or baking soda, and are usually fried. This is not the same dish as boxty, because boxty is made using raw potatoes whereas potato cake is made using cooked potatoes. In Ireland, potato cakes are typically known as potato bread, or spud bread, and are served in traditional breakfasts along with soda bread and toast.
Barm cake. A barm cake is a soft, round, flattish bread roll from northern England, traditionally leavened with barm.
