Anytime we have mentioned Dublin coddle on our social media we have been told it isn’t the “right” way to make it, but that is the beauty of coddle! There is no exact or “right” way to make it. It varies all over the city!
The way your Granny used to make it in Fairview is different to the way your mate’s Da used to make it in Inchicore, which is different to the way your neighbour makes it today in Ballinteer!
What varies? The vegetables included. The type of stock used. How the sausages are prepped. Etc. This recipe is a guideline of the things that, for the most part, should be included.
We love hearing the individual tips and tricks that make your coddle the best in Dublin. Never change!
