I Love St. Patrick's Day, but...

[katmills2005]

What you need for a good St Paddy's Day Party:

Corned Beef and Cabbage (boil it yourself, don't get that dog chow wanna be corned beef out of a can stuff)

A few good friends

A couple six packs of Guinness

Yep, that looks about right.

While a good thing to do (and I've got my corned beef in the fridge right now) it is as Irish as wearing your kilt (i.e. it's not).

Absolutely right, only the wealthy could ever afford Corned Beef (I'm told most Irish of old celebraqted with Turkey or some other fowl) but Soda Bread on the other hand,,, I could just about live on fresh baked Soda Bread and stew.

Corned beef and cabbage isn't really traditional. The traditional is Irish bacon (lean back bacon) and cabbage. Corned beef is an American alteration brought about because the Irish immigrants couldn't afford Irish bacon and their Jewish neighbors introduced them to the much cheaper corned beef.

Yep. I celebrate my Irish-American heritage with corned beef & cabbage. The best way to do it is to start it in the morning in a crock pot with apple cider. Let it cook all day, then remove it from the liquid and stick it in a roasting pan and bake it at 375 degrees Farenheit for 30 minutes or so. Ok, now I'm hungry.

Oh thank goodness!
I never could stand corned beef. Bacon though is another matter!
I'll be having Irish soda bread. It's cooling as we speak.

I'm with you on it. I might have a very tiny bite of it, but that is all I can handle. I do, however, make what I am told is a damn good corned beef, lol...I start getting the "you are making the stuff for st pat's day, right?" questions at work starting somewhere around the middle of January. This is mostly from my Irish driver, my Egyptian boss, and now, and English driver.
I'd rather have the stew I make with guiness in it. It's yummy.
