what to eat on st patrick's day
Corned Beef. The traditional meal of the Irish on St. Patrick's Day is a plate of corned beef and cabbage. Since the turn of the last century, corned beef has been served on Irish tables during the holiday and is prepared with a corned beef brisket, onions, garlic, potatoes, spices and carrots in a Dutch oven.
Boxty. Boxty, or Irish potato griddle cakes, is a popular dish served on St. Patrick's Day. These griddle cakes are made with shredded potato, mashed potatoes, flour, egg, milk and shredded onion. Cooked just like a traditional pancake on a griddle, these treats can be served for breakfast or dinner.
