| People on the plains of Tara built the morning fires, cooked stirabout in their pots. |
| I crammed my mouth with stirabout for fear I might give utterance to my anger. |
| Sometimes they are pounded when quite dry into a sort of meal, and with water added to them, are made into a kind of stirabout. |
| Knowing that stirabout was the main food of the hag, Smallhead settled in her mind to play another trick. |
| She climbed to the gable, looked down, and saw the son making a great pot of stirabout for his mother, and she hurrying him. |
| They ate thin stirabout drank water and maybe a potato or two. |
