[theluckyrabbit]

Irish Soda Bread with Kerrygold butter for breakfast and Corned Beef with all the veggies for dinner. Guinness Stout Chocolate Cake for dessert. Yum!

This is a fun thread @Dan Murphy , but I hope that it didn’t contribute to @BadPinkTink leaving us. That would be sad.

The archdiocese here in Chicago said no meat still. But nearby Rockford and Joliet dioceses said meat is fine by them. Those two are good marketers.

My local bishop gave a dispensation, but also suggested giving up meat another day to make up for it.

We're having corned beef and cabbage tonight. Love it!

Welcome to the Dis Dan Murphy!

Touché @Micca.. Good one!!

This is a fun thread @Dan Murphy , but I hope that it didn’t contribute to @BadPinkTink leaving us. That would be sad.

I do not think it did, @Jangles. BPT was still posting in July last year, and still checking in in August. Sure would like to see @BadPinkTink back though.

I enjoy corned beef and cabbage but it's Fish Fry Friday today so I won't be partaking.

I wonder if we can get another 11 pages this year out of this record setting @slo poll from last year. And yes, I know I have resurrected this thread so now it becomes definitionally a zombie thread I guess.

This
Is
Awesome!!!

I almost did the same thing - LOL!
This poll is one of slo’s poll greatest hits

Tried it last year for the first time and not a fan. Having Guinness Beef Stew and Irish brown bread this year.

Omg sounds delicious what time should I come over to eat ???

I prefer oven, but ours is broken at the moment. So we are doing crockpot. With two corned beef, I would say it's the perfect time for a taste test.

I’ve done that before - one in the oven and other crockpot. We liked them both about the same, with a slight edge to the oven baked one.

I put them both in my large roaster and will bake them later.

Thanks for resurrecting, @Dan Murphy -- I think I'm going through withdrawal missing @slo's polls this week!

Irish soda bread just came out of the oven. A little unconventional -- soaked raisins in whiskey, added caraway seed and grated orange peel. Smells amazing. Made whiskey butter from the soaking "juice." Corned beef is in the crockpot -- adding veggies and cabbage later today.

DH can do without the cabbage, but I like it! Slainte!

Growing up, my mom always made it on St. Patrick’s Day. I like corned beef (though prefer it on a sandwich), but don’t care for boiled cabbage. I made a cottage pie for tonight (like shepherd’s pie, but with ground beef instead of lamb).

I don't really like Guinness, but I love Guinness chocolate cake (with cream cheese frosting). I ask my sister to make it for my birthday every year.

I prefer crockpot, but my big one is broken. Broke the crock and the replacement I ordered has been on back order since late January. I am missing it a lot.

I crammed my corned beef into a smaller crock pot that I typically use for meatballs. Barely room to add the veggies later. If I wasn’t working all day I’d have done the oven.

We tried corned beef and cabbage (NE boiled dinner) with potatoes and carrots many years ago but didn’t care for it.

Deli corned beef either cold on on warm Rueben sandwiches is good a few times per year.

I like cabbage in many forms EXCEPT plain steamed or boiled. Cole slaw, sauerkraut, various vegetable salads, etc.

Shredded cabbage sautéed in butter is good as a side dish. Add some tomato sauce to make it better.

And of course stuffed cabbage (golabki: go-wump-key) is smacznego!!

Speaking of St. Patrick's Day traditions, according to our local NYC news, the NYC St. Patrick's Day parade is the oldest St. Patrick's Day parade in the WORLD.

This year marks the 262nd St. Patrick's Day parade here.

As for the poll, I don't like corned beef. The only times I come across corned beef, since I don't go to Irish pubs, is in our delis where they also have pastrami. I'd rather have a good pastrami on rye with Swiss cheese, cole slaw & Russian dressing, instead of corned beef. (Yes, pastrami is Romanian / Turkish, not Irish. But the poll asked about corned beef and I'm explaining what I prefer instead.)

Wow, that looks and sounds great, @lovesmurfs!!

 

[RedAngie]

I’m making the same Rueben casserole that I posted last year in this thread.

Plus Irish potato candy and Irish soda bread.

 

[georgina]

Voted 'I don't like it' last year and nothing has changed. I buy my soda bread from Costco. Our townhome community is having a get together and providing corned beef, so I will just be eating the side dishes everyone brings.

Just like last year, for dinner tonight, we had Corned Beef, Cabbage, Potatoes, & Soda Bread w/ Kerrygold Butter, of course.

And, for dessert, I made Irish Apple Skillet Cake.

(And the kids once again had Lucky Charms cereal for breakfast - the only time I ever buy Lucky Charms cereal is for St. Patrick’s Day… even though I KNOW it’s not Irish! ;-) )
