For the record, folks, the one time - about 25 years ago, more or less - I tried to make soda bread, I followed a recipe to the letter and it came out so dense and hard that I actually broke a knife while trying to cut into it!
Absolute truth.
It did, however, make a very good doorstop.
Lesson learned: I ain't a scratch baker!
