What are you having for your

St. Patrick's dinner today?? I'm not Irish at all but isn't everyone Irish today??? Well I am having rueben sandwiches…not sure how "irish" it is but I figured the corned beef made it " irish" for me. :confused3

Not a single component of a Reuben is Irish including the corned beef.
 
Broccoli and cheese and a pork chop and potatoes.
 
Guinness corned beef is simmering away in the crock pot, and we'll be having glazed carrots, rosemary potatoes, and Irish soda bread for dinner and homemade Guinness cupcakes with Bailey's frosting for dessert. I LOVE St. Paddy's day! :lovestruc
 

I may make a shepherd's pie, if I feel like peeling all those potatoes! I need to find a cute little green dessert for the kids when I stop by the grocery store - I have nothing really at home, and no time to bake anything.

I made a mid-day meal of corned beef, cabbage and mashed potatoes. I'm about 20% or less Irish.
 
Boiled Cabbage with pickle meat, salt meat, potatoes, carrots. It is one of my families favorite meals.

A tip on peeling potatoes ~ if you don't like using a paring knife, use a carrot peeler. That is the only tool I've ever used to peel potatoes. It is so much faster and easier!
 
I grew up eating Irish food almost everyday, so tonight will be a typical dinner for me! Boxty (Potato pancakes) with Guinness beef stew- and for dessert, Donegal Oatmeal Cream.
 
No one in my Irish family has ever had corned beef as a typical "Irish" meal, not even the distant cousins that still live there.


That being said, we are having lamb stew, with traditional soda bread ( not the kind with raisin, currants, etc), as well as lamb and beef shepherds pie. I didn't have time to make sausages or we would be having bangers and mash too. We have a large group coming so I am making a lot of food.

Same here. :confused3 My family never eats corned beef and my relatives in Ireland still laugh that Americans think it is Irish food. It is Irish-AMERICAN food. Irish immigrants in New York discovered that beef here was cheaper than pork, which had been their staple meat back home. So corned beef replaced boiled bacon and was paired with cabbage (which was cheaper than potatoes here too) to become an inexpensive and easy to fix meal for many Irish-Americans.

When I visit Ireland, corned beef is not on any menus there!
 
we are having corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and soda bread. This is a family tradition and my Grandpa (who has Irish heritage) loved this meal, his birthday was also March 17th so it has a double meaning for me. And yes, we always eat this to celebrate his life and our Irish heritage.
