I happen to be one of those people who love that Irish boiled dinner, with lots of potatoes in there. You just cook the heck out of it, for hours, until it all falls apart. Lots of whole peppercorns in the pot.
The carrots are optional, in my view - and the cabbage is the best part.
A pot of mustard on the side, and a pot of beer on the other side. Great peasant eats.
