This is a good dish. However, chicken sausages? It needs some traditional Irish sausage: Bangers, if you will.

Made this last night, and my family loved it! Definitely worthy of a special occasion. Served alongside a glass of Irish extra stout. I will definitely put this platter together again--simple and rustic.

Nice recipe. Not even remotely Irish, though. Anyhoo.. I substituted Branston Pickle for the pickle, more traditional.
