Very true and you're probably right that it is deeply influenced by the Irish, especially as it was a way to make the most of poorer cuts of meat - vital to the poorer immigrants.
There is apparently a stew very similar in name and ingredients in Wales, as well. Whether our islands influenced the rest of northern Europe or them us, I guess we'll never know. It's very interesting, though.
(Also! I had estufado de patatas today for lunch. Ang? IT WAS SCOUSE.)
