Maybe it's the fact that I haven't eaten bread in several months but I thought this was delicious. It was sweet, moist and chewy. More like a yummy breakfast bread than a more traditional dry soda bread. I substituted soy flour for the tapioca flour, and milk curdled with 1 TBS apple cider vinegar for the buttermilk.

Like many reviewers, I also scaled down the lamb. For two people planning on lots of leftovers, I used .8lbs lamb and all the vegetables, broth, etc. for 5 servings. The lamb was tender, the broth rich and delicious, and the vegetables soaked up all the lamb and bacon flavors perfectly. One issue: the bacon got kind of soggy. Next time I might throw it in after the lamb has been simmering for half an hour so that it keeps its shape a bit better.
