This came from my mother who although she was born in Toronto in 1888, went back to Belfast with her family the next year. She returned to Canada in 1906-7 and met my father who had been born in Ireland in 1886, on that trip. They had 3 children, of whom I was the last afterthought, born in 1926. Enjoy the soda bread!
