FullClip Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Think the extent of my Saint Patrick's Day festivities this year will be having a few cans of Guinness while watching The Player's golf tournament. Supposed to be a cold rainy day here. I prefer the canned over the bottled stuff as the cans have the "widget". No stinking "corned beef and cabbage" in my house despite my Irish genes. Anybody here make a big deal of the "holiday"?? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Salt Lake holds a pretty good parade. I used to participate with the Shrine Band but the band disbanded a few years ago. I haven’t been to the parade since. Lots of Irish and English pubs here also so finding a party and good food is easy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramjet38 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Wife already got the head of cabbage, and corned beef ready to go plus I got a few bottles of Guiness laying around. Don't like the can because of the widget. First time I ever had one I thought it was a manufacture defect and threw the whole six-pack away. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy tom Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I played bagpipes in the St. Paddy's Day parade for thirty some years until my knees went bad and I couldn't march any more. When we got the latest Sheriff, he moved the after parade party out of Pittsburgh to his home town so I haven't attended the party since covid cancelled them in 2020. I'll just enjoy some whisky and corned beef with cabbage, potatoes and carrots. tom. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sheriff was President of the Shrine Pipe band for a few years so the Shrine band was the Sheriff's band on St. Paddy's day. The rest of the year we were the Shrine band for around fifty parades and performances per year. tom. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peng Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I don't mind the widget so much in the can of draught Guinness, it's the flavor that gets me. The bottle version is carbonated like I'm used to and has a rich sour flavor. The can version is nearly 100% flat and has much less taste. That widget sure does not work very well. If you like Guinness, seek out the Foreign Extra Stout. It comes in a 4 pack of bottles and is out of this world good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg warner Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I've already started celebrating. I had corned beef and cabbage last night and tonight I'll have some leftover Corned beef on Rye with Swiss cheese. Orowheat makes a really good Jewish Rye. My mother was German on both sides and my father was English and French with a little bit of Irish on the English side. He traced the family back to the 1600's and went to the village in England where the family came from. Our people were the shoemakers of the village. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad always insisted on that nasty stuff on St Patricks day and we don't even have any irish in our family. Not at all a fan of Gunniss either, but would not complain about a touch of Irish Whiskey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love saurkraut as well, and Kim Chee, too. (edit) And Cole Slaw! cabbage is good stuff, But the thing is with corned beef and cabbage, you first boil the corned beef and the spices in water, and for good measure I further season mine with Old Bay Lemon and Herb, Cavender's Greek seasoning, and Cayenne Pepper, and then when the corned beef is done, cook the cabbage in the same water as the corned beef, and that's the ONLY way to make good corned beef and cabbage! It's also important not to overcook the corned beef, or under-cook the cabbage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Last time I bought a corned beef I got it home froze it and got it the night before and thawed in the fridge and went to cook it and it was rotten. I checked them out at the store and I ain’t paying damn near 30 bucks for one. I’ll just do a nice steak and some mushrooms. Don’t care for any brand of Guinness so probably some local beer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Do brussel sprouts count? I prefer them cooked very soft in a huge glub of butter but just-plain-steamed, and all manner in between, is fine. I'll bet we don't have any. dang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 A note about potatoes. Irish stew does not include potatoes. Potatoes cooked in the stew make it starchy and mushy. Good Irish stew is served OVER roasted Irish potatoes. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
