    Ah…. amigo. Sounds mucho grande.

      Amigo, I guess it’s a Irish thing. I was just practicing the diversity the government and much media tells me that it is a must. My opinion. Sholom.

      • Oh, you say your Irish? you might want to study your history.
        Native-born Americans criticized Irish immigrants for their poverty and manners, their supposed laziness and lack of discipline, their public drinking style, their catholic religion, and their capacity for criminality and collective violence.

    Indeed, can’t argue over that. Somehow the Irish did not sit and cry, rather they overcame, I guess it’s a tenacity thing. Many New York and Boston structures are named after the Irish. Perhaps more proudly, the east coast Irish Police are well known for their courage and devotion to our society. My opinion. Adios.

    To think that some people would provoke/be provoked on an article about salsa!
    Some people are just living to argue, I guess.

    An innocuous comment by one gets told that his Spanish “sucks” and then is told that his people were criticized for “their poverty and manners, their supposed laziness and lack of discipline, their public drinking style, their catholic religion, and their capacity for criminality and collective violence.” Grouping everyone together…hmm…sounds like RACISM to me, but I guess Irish don’t get to claim that.. I get that it was said by others, not the poster, but he felt it important enough to mention that? All over a tongue-in-cheek comment about being Irish?

    Well, it should have been “Amiga,” but I wouldn’t say the Spanish “sucks;” just the nasty attitude of one waiting to pounce on someone he disagrees with, any time or over any thing. How sad it is to hate so much, and Trump wasn’t even mentioned!

    P.S., since YOU’RE criticizing Spanish grammar, you might want to check YOUR English/js
    (“Oh, you say your Irish? “)

      DC, Thanks for your comments. As an lowly Irishman, I often feel so intimidated by some of these folks. They are so knowledgeable and approach topics with perhaps a equivalent of Aristotlian logic. My, how can I ever compete with them. I hang my head down low in shame. My opinion. 🙂

    • DC laughable if you’re defending a insult from David, the column is written by a senora not a amigo, so I’m sure you looked up the meaning of mucho grande also, has nothing to do with the recipe. And I apologize to Mrs Miller for the response. Keep on sending in more recipes. We’ve enjoyed making some of them. Maybe you have a good ol’ Irish stew recipe that will please the boys.

      Skol!
