Happy St. Patrick’s/St. Joseph’s Day weekend

[Buzz Rules]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Please stay safe when enjoying yourself fellow Disboarders. Also, I found this documentary on YouTube on the historical St. Patrick and though some Disboarders may enjoy learning about his life.

That's boiled ham, right? Or should we just jump straight to telling Irish people what they actually should be eating and let the DIS games begin?

I’m 1% Irish, so does that count?

Pint of Guinness here £3.85. Can you beat that?

Since when did St Patrick’s Day turn into a whole weekend event? It literally says Day lol

... uh ... yeah, I was the one who first mentioned this meat that shall not be named on slo's previous poll on St. Patrick's Day before the 11 pager. oopsies

Looking back, I still can't believe it went that far off the rails.

Bishop here said we can eat meat tomorrow. I didn't buy it as we are leaving for a state tournament for dd. However, I may make pit stop on the road and get a Shamrock Shake just to be an instigator.

Weekend event? People around here couldn't wait till the calendar struck March 1. There have been parties all across the city since then.

In the USA, the party goes on for several days. Saint Joseph’s Day is a big Catholic/Italian-American holiday too (March 19th).

You cannot celebrate St Patrick on St David’s Day!

Looked like creamed corn to me.

I go out of my way to avoid anything green today.

Growing up March 19 St. Joseph’s Day was the celebration.

What was the reason for this? Just curious.

Absolutely!!

Personally, I like corned beef in a sandwich sliced very thin on rye bread with a bit of mustard. They can also hold that gloppy sauce, just not a fan of mushy sandwiches.

You can, with a case of St. Pauli Girl and a bottle of St.Ides.

Depends what 1%!

The DIS games are always afoot!

And I don't know what that is, I googled using the name of, again, that which shall NOT be named, and that's what Google gave us.

I’m have no Irish heritage and I just don’t subscribe to the American notion that “Everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.”

Saint Joseph’s day is big here, these will be able to be purchased everywhere, bakeries and supermarkets https://www.italianrecipebook.com/st-josephs-pastries-zeppole-di-san-giuseppe/

Living in an area with a lot of Irish and Italian Americans, it’s a fun month. We eat corned beef because it’s what our ancestors ate when they moved to America, to try and replicate what they ate in Ireland. They were very poor, when they left, and when they got here. I have a couple retired Irish dancers, March is dance out season, fundraising. For 10+ years I’d be at bars all day on Saint Patrick’s day with my daughters. Dd20 had celebrations at college last weekend because spring break starts today, she got free drinks all weekend by dancing. Dd21 is bartending at a large bar in Boston, she’s planning on jigging for some tips.
