Thank you for the serving suggestions.

This is the first time making the Guinness soda-bread recipe so perhaps a soda-bread side to a soup or stew dish makes the most sense.

Your recipes above offer ancient Irish oatmeal and leek soup, Balnamoon skink, cork bacon broth, fish chowder and irish stew.

The bacon broth and the fish chowder present soda bread so which one to pick -- or should I halve the recipes and thereby serve both ;-D?

For those asking about Shirley Temple as speaking languages other than English, yes, she did!

Shirley Temple learned Mandarin Chinese from Canton Mandarin-speaking expert Paul Fong and from Shanhainese teacher Bessie Nyi.

The disciplined dancer, pianist and singer sang a Chinese song and spoke Mandarin words in the 1936-film Stowaway.

Do your guests really like Irish food so much?

I serve it as a side to the main or a soup and stew.
However, you can serve as a garnish to a dessert if you do white Irish soda bread and add a bit of sugar and some raisins, currants, dried cranberries to the bread dough mix .... Irish fruit soda bread.
Or add some Irish Baileys to a cheesecake mixture or pour the Baileys over ice cream and garnish with some fruit soda bread. Nom NOM . Delicious.
