Happy St. Patrick's Day, Irish or Not!

Whether you are walking in a parade, drinking a Guinness, or just wearing a touch of green today, it's a perfect day to celebrate the traditions of Ireland, that spunky country from which so many Americans emigrated. They brought us their work ethic, their wonderful sense of humor and love of language, and, of course, recipes for delicious food. No, not corned beef and cabbage; that is decidedly NOT authentic Irish cuisine, just an American adaptation. But yummy stews, chowders, and breads top the list of foods you can easily cook at home to celebrate Irish heritage. (For a more complete discussion of what is truly Irish, see the blog we posted in March 2023. You can read it here.)
