First one out of an Irish stew.

(The Lost World, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

So, when I once asked Dora, with an eye to the cookery-book, what she would do, if we were married, and I were to say I should like a nice Irish stew, she replied that she would tell the servant to make it; and then clapped her little hands together across my arm, and laughed in such a charming manner that she was more delightful than ever.

(David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens)
