I don't like boiled cabbage and I can't eat corned beef that has been prepared with the spice packet since I'm allergic to juniper. I do occasionally buy corned beef, rinse it well to try to cut some of the salt and prepare it at home. We have cabbage often, but generally stir fried. We do enjoy colcannon made with stir fried cabbage and have it often throughout the year.

I'm not a huge fan of cabbage, but it occurs to me that there may be a way to cook it such that is isn't just soggy, gooey stuff. This is one of those cases where I say "I don't really like _______" but if it were prepared by a top-notch chef it could be really tasty. Mushy cooked cabbage doesn't have a great deal of appeal to me.

Definitely could if low-key were here... He is greatly missed.

Love it -- well 1/2 of it anyhow.

Only way I'll even think about eating cabbage is as coleslaw, and only in a very few places.
But I love corned beef ♥, and will eat it anytime, anywhere.
Also, I have been known to corn my own every couple of years.

And in the opinion of others...

If I want to call it St. Pat’s Day, I will call it St. Pat’s Day.

I have a question. Are you able to think of any other Saint (any religion accepted), who is referred to by a nickname or shortened form of name? I can’t think of any, so I am curious as to why poor St Patrick is insulted in this way.

In my area, schools named after St. Joseph are shortened to St. Joe's.

Same thing here, as well as St. Timothy being shortened to St. Tim’s.

I think St. Pat is fine, St. paddy is fine, St. Patty is not.

 

[Jangles]

I think St. Pat is fine, St. paddy is fine, St. Patty is not.

Your reasoning?

 

[Dan Murphy]

My DD went to St. Joe’s school in my town.

I currently go to St. Mike’s
My in-laws go to St. Tom’s
I used to go to SMG (Saint Maria Goretti)

My two went to St Raymond's elementary, known as Ray's, St. Viator's HS, known as Viator's.

 

[Jangles]

You are an incorrigible bunch, but I have laughed with you this morning. I just don’t think that we shorten Saints’ names here.
I hope that you are enjoying your boiled cabbage.

 

[mjkacmom]

Your reasoning?

Because we shorten nicknames of some saints here (very catholic area), Saint paddy’s is used as often as Saint Patrick’s, Pat and Paddy are nicknames for Patrick, Patty is not.

 

[Dan Murphy]

And then we have.......

The Paddy Wagon

• In the United States, "Paddy" was a common Irish shortening of Padraig (Patrick in English) which is an ethnic slur to refer to Irish people. Over half the people arrested in New York in the 1840s and 1850s were Irish, so that police vans were dubbed "paddy wagons" and episodes of mob violence in the streets were called "donnybrooks", named after a town in Ireland.
