If you think food that celebrates St. Patrick’s Day means corned beef and cabbage with boiled potatoes, it’s time to update your thinking about Irish cooking.
Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw once said, “There is no love sincerer than the love of food.” And in recent years, the cooks in Ireland have begun to agree with him. Cooking has enjoyed a major renaissance in Ireland and fine dining now is the rule, rather than the exception.
It can be fun to get into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. Some, of course, go the whole route with dyed green food, from beer to bagels, but you don’t need to resort to dyes to find delicious, healthy green foods.
On St. Patrick’s Day, the air will be rich with the aromas of cabbage, corned beef, crusty Irish soda bread and perhaps a stew studded with potatoes and carrots. These traditional Irish dishes, nostalgically enjoyed by Irish-Americans and other Americans feeling Irish for the day, are a far cry from what is on many Irish tables today.
