Greetings from Co. Clare this St. PAtrick's day morning where the weather is calm and dry and looking good for the parades of the day. Mr. Google tells me it's 6 degreesC which I can't vouch for as I haven't been outside yet but I see no frost on the car outside the window! As to what to eat on St. PAtrick's Day - there is no particular food associated with St. Patrick here in Ireland. The day is not about food at all , but more about honouring St. PAtrick by going to Mass and then either taking part in, or going to watch, one of the many parades. I am thinking of heading up to Galway myself to the parade there as they do a spectacular job and for once, it's not raining or freezing cold! Corned beef - I have never ever had it in my 51 years on the planet. It's not something we eat here - I think of it as an American dish! What will I be eating? Not sure yet but it won't be Bacon and Cabbage! More likely something like Chicken satay.... now there's a traditional dish for you! Check out the brilliant flashmob of 'Riverdance' done in Sydney earlier to celebrate St. Patrick's Day 2011 - it's a Youtube link. ***St Patricks Day 2011 Flashmob. Central Station, Sydney, Australia.<http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxEB48jY3F8&h=22665> * Beannachtaí na Feile Pádraig daoibh go léir!

Hey, that stepdancing flashmob in Oz was great, Fiona. A good way to start my St. Patrick's Day. Well, I had a salami sandwich (w/swiss cheese, tomato, onions, relish & dijon mustard) for breakfast, to start my day off, Kerry. I watched the soda bread videos and it looks like something I could do so I shall try that -- next year. Or maybe next month. Why wait?

Hi, I'm from Kerry but living in Galway so will probably go to parade there also. My mom went though a phase of corned beef, tounge etc but I'd say corned beef isn't eaten much in Ireland. Presume it was popular year's ago when fridges unavailable. Anyway compared to fresh beef not sure why you would bother although had spiced beef at Christmas once which was nice. Will probably have a curry today but as traditional dishes go I think bacon and cabbage is most popular. My ancestors used to run a 'pie' shop in Tralee. This consists of mutton pie submerged in a bowl of soup. I had it a few times as a child and it is delicious but never came across it anywhere else. Think those 'pie' shops were popular in early 1900's. As for soda bread the recipe I have seen is for what I would call current or curny bread but who cares what it's called.  White soda bread as I know it has no currents and prob had a bit more soda than recipe on list.  As for spuds think there's probably as much pasta as spuds eaten in Ireland these days but spuds still popular.

I didn't realize that "spuds" was an Irish term for potato. I used to hear it a lot here, but my Mom always called them "praties." But I suppose if you eat that many of something, you'd have lotsl of names for it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Fintan Sheehan Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 3:53 AM As for spuds think there's probably as much pasta as spuds eaten in Ireland these days but spuds still popular.

Hi Fiona Clicking on the link brought me some intriguing shots of young dancers; then my browser (IE) froze. again and again. I tried pasting the link into Youtube and Google; both refused. Is there a fault in the link?
