St. Patrick’s Day, commemorating the death of Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick, is celebrated in more countries than any other national festival. Small wonder when you look at the traditional foods gobbled up on the day. Highlighting Ireland’s exceptional ingredients (think salmon, lamb, potatoes, oats, barley, cabbage, beef, and oh yes, Guinness), the day is as much a food day as it is a day for parades, and yes, green beer (although…ewwww!). The luck of the Irish is very evident when it comes to their delicious corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread, shepherd’s pie, Irish stew, Irish whiskey cake, Guinness-infused cupcakes, and of course, Irish coffee. Celebrate the Emerald Isle on March 17th and every day by whipping up some of these easy and delicious classic Irish foods. Your friends and family will be green with envy of your talents when you make any of these 46 St. Patrick’s Day recipes.
