I have a great idea. Don't Do Potluck. :sick:
everyone bringing food from all over town sitting in cars with foods getting at all the wrong temps.
use online paying service like paypal or propay to collect everyone's money and have one person order a caterer who's obligation it is to serve good food at the best temp at the right time. that's if your broke.
IF you're not broke, bailey's, o'douls, and shamrock shakes for days. oh and irish whiskey cheddar.0 -

I was thinking the same thing... that's in really poor taste and very offensive.0 -

out of curiosity, why O'Doul's? You obviously not against alcohol with your inclusion of Bailey's.0 -

Another cultural difference. I was confused as to why you thought that was offensive, until I saw your second post. I've never heard of the group you mentioned.
From wikipedia: Black and Tan is a drink made from a blend of pale ale and a dark beer such as a stout or porter, most often Guinness. Sometimes a pale lager is used instead of ale; this is usually called a half and half. Contrary to common North American belief, however, Black and Tan as a mixture of two beers is not a term commonly used in Ireland[1] due to the association with the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force, nicknamed the Black and Tans.

Ah, I see. Then please add some Guinness and/or whiskey to the list because Bailey's is rough

Well now you know.... It would effectively be like me having a dish called KKK for Kwanzaa. Sometimes a little education goes a long way.0 -

Which is why I looked it up upon seeing your posts. Unfortunately, it's impossible to know everything all the time that could possibly offend someone else. To us, it was just a brownie recipe using beer. It's not even named in reference to the group, it's called that due to the appearance of the two different beers being separated in the glass.
Now some of us americans know a little more today. thanks.0 -

I take it you're not actually Irish and maybe this is just your family? I certainly don't have a Chinese once a week and Cowboy Supper? Nope. And Boxty is potato bread so spud bread and Boxty are the same thing.0 -
My traditional Irish meal is corned beef with cabbage, carrots, and potatoes. Sometimes I will make Colcannon which is mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale instead of the boiled potatoes. I will make soda bread to go with it. A meatless idea would be to make some kind of scone and serve with butter, jam and thickened cream. I have found some recipes for a Guiness brownie and Guiness cake that might work as well. You can also google Irish dishes to find other ideas that may not have meat. If you are doing this at work I don't think you want to be taking some of the alcoholic suggestions.0

we had a St. Patrick's day potluck at work last year. I made mini chocolate cupcakes, light green icing, and 1/4 of a chocolate mint on top. It was a HUGE hit. Not the healthiest option, but super cute and great for portion control 0

make a pizza (regular or cauliflower crust, whichever) and use green peppers to make 4 leaf clovers on top!0
-
