Looking ahead to St.Patty's day - what's your menu?
I'm looking ahead to St.Patty's day on Saturday, and I'm looking for some new ideas besides the traditional.
I need ideas, please. What are your menus?
Re: Looking ahead to St.Patty's day - what's your menu?
St. Patty's day menu looks like this:
http://www.franklincafe.com/franklin-cafe/dinner-menu-cafe/
specifically, the House cured corned beef brisket... it's amazing, and I live directly across the street. They make fabulous cocktails as well, but Saturday we will probably just have a few Guinness to honor the day...
Their corned beef was featured on "The Best Thing I Ever Ate" and SO and I fully support it's inclusion on that show. : )
My menu:
shrimp with green herb sauce and cheddar-beer dip with crudites for apps
corned beef w/ carrots and potatoes, cottage pie (using ground turkey, since we have a couple non-red meat eaters), sauteed cabbage and two kinds of soda bread for dinner
black and tan brownies (a Guinness brownie with a Harp or Blue Moon blondie) and Irish coffees for dessert
Before we went to Ireland for our honeymoon, I hadn't realized how big on seafood Irish food is. We stuck to mostly the coastal areas when we were driving around, and had a lot of seafood chowder- everywhere we went had their own version, all really good. If we were doing St. Pat's on our own instead of hosting, we'd probably do chowder and soda bread.
I usually throw corned beef in the crockpot
Reuben egg rolls are awesome if you've never tried them! I've had them with a little shaved corned beef and sauerkraut in them and thousand island to dip them in
I bought some really cute shamrock ravioli at Costco this weekend. We tried them on Friday but still have a package leftover.
We always do our usual for St. Patricks Day:
Guinness Stew with braised beef or lamb - (In the crockpot)
Brown Bread (with Kerrygold butter)
Guinness Cupcakes
And lots of Guinness for drinking :-P Then we watch Darby O'Gill and the Little People :-)

My Doha Adventures
I've never made anything for St. Patrick's Day before so I decided to go pretty traditional:
corned beef (maybe in the crock pot, not sure yet), colcannon, corn o'brien, irish soda bread and car bomb cupcakes.
Married / The Cookaholic Wife
We are having eight over for dinner. Our menu is
Herbed potato fingers and deviled eggs
Salmon Chowder
Irish Dairy Bread
Green salad with mustard vinaigrette
Killarney Cheese with grapes and apple slices
Irish black ginger cake
Apple tart
Guinness!
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
We will have corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes in the crockpot, Irish soda bread with Irish butter. I also make another option because we have a log of people who don't eat the corned beef. I haven't decided what that will be yet. Also undecided on desserts.

Breakfast will be green shamrock-shaped pancakes, sausage patties, some fruit, and some of the green milk that the leprechauns will have left in the fridge. They wreak havoc for St. Patty's
For lunch I'm going to a Claddagh Tea with my best friend, my Mom, and my grandmother. It's a local tea house that has great food, so I'm imagining their normal stuff with an Irish twist.
Dinner will be Steak, Guinness, and Cheese Pie, champ, and some veggies. It's just the husband, daughter and I, so I'll just pick up some cupcakes from the local cupcakery that morning rather than making some huge dessert we won't finish.
