    Having the traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner, REAL traditional Irish soda bread, a beer and maybe a nice Irish whiskey if my hubby picks some up for us. :) Working them all into my budget, so it's all a matter of portion. :drinker:

    Hate to burst your bubble, but corned beef is not traditional here in Ireland at all!!! It's boiled ham and cabbage with spuds.

    Corned beef is a distinctly Irish American tradition, having to do with the lower cost of beef in the 19th century and the fact that boiled beef was already a New England tradition. So, it may not be traditional there, but it's still traditional.

    Ahhahha I get ye! Sorry. The only memory I have of corned beef is my mam buying a few slices on a saturday and it tasting yuck! Much prefer boiled ham/mash/cabbage although I don't have it very often at all.

    What's YOUR pick?



    I will be having a FEW Black and Blues (half Guiness, half Blue Moon). Been working really hard this week and trying to save up some cals for the weekend. :drinker:
