Sea Vegetables / Edible
Seaweeds have increased in popularity in the past few years.
People seem to enjoy their distinctive flavourings and colour in
soups, stews, main courses, side orders and desserts.
Ireland and Northern Ireland
have a long tradition of using edible seaweeds like Dulse / Dillisk,
and
Carrageen / Irish Moss.
Dulse is eaten as a snack (like a packet of crisps), while Carrageen
/ Irish Moss is used as a dessert or as a COLD REMEDY!!
