Re: Happy St. Patrick's Day


You lucky duck! Send me a postcard.
Yes, boiled bacon or lamb stew would be more traditionally Irish. The poor Irish imigrants in NY substituted corned beef for bacon because it was cheaper. Also - I recently learned that pastrami is corned beef cured with pepper.

Hey all- Happy St. Patty's to you all. I AM going to Ireland this year!! I'm so excited, just holding my breath and waiting for April 27th to come- yeah! Oh, and I was watching the "Good Eats" on TV last night and learned that corned beef is an American thing- it didn't come from Ireland.

Happy St Patrick's day to all of you.
I hate travelling but Ireland is one place I would love to visit someday, but not this year. Today we're having lunch for my sister, Pat's birthday. Then tomorrow I'll have her over for a corned beef dinner. Gotta get busy now and wrap presents.
