    Irish themed dish. Throw a bunch of *kitten* in a pot, at cabbage, boil the *kitten* out of it until it looks like a grey pudding, then serve. No seasoning needed. Enjoy!:drinker: :bigsmile: :laugh:

    Ha! Every woman in my family would kick your behind for that Ben!!! Why not just make some American food, take any meat, fry it as if it were chicken, add a ****ton of corn syrup and pour melted cheese over it liberally. Dip it in anything runnier than bread. Eat it in your truck with your sister who's your cousin and your wife.

    Wot no banjo?

    Says the man from England. Say, how's that dental plan coming along ?

    You mean the dental plan we get subsidised from our tax money unlike the US, say where one has to pay outright for these things? :tongue:

    My dental insurance calls your bluff along with my $10 co-pay

    And here I was expecting a hundred page sectarian bunfight and all I get is tooth-based snarkiness....

    Yeah I prefer the road less traveled. Plus I don't hate you so I have no reason to go for blood

    whiskey. lots of whiskey.

    If not green beer, whiskey will do. LOL
  • I'm Irish and from Ireland and I find it hilarious how stereotypical people are about the Irish.
    We drink yes but on weekends and special occasions, the same as everybody. And we cook a lot of homemade and nutritious meals in Ireland just like everybody else. Just wanted to clear that up.

    Stew made with beef and dumplings.
    "Full Irish" breakfast with rashers, sausages, white and black pudding, egg, fried tomato and hash browns with brown sauce.
    Shepard's pie made with minced beef.
    Home made soda bread.
    Potato cakes.
    A roast beef and potato dinner.

    They would be popular traditional dishes.

    We don't throw **** in a pot and boil the **** out of it.
  • Oh and here's a shocker... most of us don't drink or like Guinness.

    Ok so here are some ideas...
    Beef and Guinness pie(is always a winner) with mash potato or champ
    Irish stew(must have celery,carrot,beef)
    Full Irish breakfast for the hangover the next day

    Not big on desserts maybe a baileys cheesecake?

    Alcohol the best part


    Guinness(don't like it at all but you might)
    Jameson and coke
    Baileys
    Bulmers cider(know as magners in other places)
    Hot whiskey
    Irish coffee

    Be rude not to bring drinks no? Lol :drinker:

    Spuds??

    or boxty, colcannon (http://www.bordbia.ie/aboutfood/recipes/potatoes/pages/colcannan.aspx) or Stew?
    Shepherd's pie!

    Shepherds pie isn't really a quintisentially Irish dish. I'm sure they do eat it regularly in Ireland but It is more an English dish. For more Irish recipes check out:

    Oh he knows what you're talking about, he's on my FL! Besides, it'd never have been much a bunfight because I would have won by KO in the first round ;)

    Most people here in the US have no idea why they wear green on St Patrick's day, what the orange order is, who Michael Collins was, the history of Sinn Fein and why we call a certain drink black and tans. Don't get started with the car bombs (drink I mean)..

    Point is, I don't think anyone means to be offensive.


    nobody does. Americans love any holiday where we can drink. That's really all there is to it.

    I'm not sure that's anything to be proud of.

    Well I AM! LOLOL

    Ps It's not St Patty's Day....it's St Paddy's Day. Nobody says St Patty's Day except Americans.
    But it's Saint Patrick, not Saint Padrick. So where do you get the d's from in St. Paddy's?? You make no sense. :tongue:

    Paddy is short for Patrick. If your name is patrick and you live in Ireland even your mum will call you paddy :smile:
    St patty day is something we laugh about no such thing here.

    Horsesh!t lady. Patrick in Irish is Padraig, the short for Patrick is Paddy not Patty. Patty is a girl's name. There is NO ST PATTY. STOP SAYING IT, IT'S WRONG.

    Also Leprechaun, whatever. You're what we call a 'plastic Paddy'...you're not born here so you're not Irish, you're just riding the coattails of a nation that you don't belong to. You're American.

  • I still can't get over black and tan brownies.

    Isn't Corned beef and cabbage an exclusively Irish-American dish? I did not think it was typically served in Ireland.


    You are correct, never happens here, I heard it here first and it blew my mind. Bacon and cabbage is huge here though. I asked around and I only know one person who has even heard of it, and that's because her daughter moved to America :)

    Yeah I'm sure it wasn't deliberate but it's as offensive as anything gets
