If any holiday ever deserved its own week, it’s definitely St. Patrick’s day. This time last year, I was in Ireland. This time this year, I’m living vicariously through that old self by attempting to work my way through the best of my Irish recipe collection. A few favorites:
Irish Soda Bread – But please, guys, not the raisins.
Corned Beef and Cabbage – First tried this last night. It isn’t quite as good as the one I remember from my childhood, but then, overcooking the cabbage will do that.
Irish Cream Creme Brulee – Only because “Irish Whiskey” by itself doesn’t really count as a recipe.
Have any Irish foods you can’t resist this time of year?
Why oh why would you mess with that soda bread recipe? It was so good.
I have no idea what Irish foods are… you just taught me three. Haggis? Lucky Charms? Or maybe oatmeal?
Wow, Irish foods are the best of foods. Haggis is Scottish, so no. “Irish Oatmeal” is Irish by proxy, but other oatmeal is just oatmeal.
Lucky Charms, though, are defintiely Irish. Any way you look at it, really.
