Happy St Patrick's day

[Iowagriz]

It's aged well.

Fun fact, and its hard to tell from my pic above, but apparently Jameson makes an orange flavored Jameson.

I'd love to be in County Cork for the orange harvest one fine late summer day.

I was 100% sure I posted a response to this last night. I must have deleted it during a moment of drunken clarity.

I attended the Cork parade and pubs yesterday, and it was a blast. Good music when you could hear them, lots of beer and whiskey. It was a slow start to my day this morning.

Corned beef isn’t Irish

Corned beef isn’t Irish. It’s British and the Brits colonized Ireland and used their land to grow beef for export to Britain and their colonies. Any good Irishman should look at corned beef with disdain

^^ Learned last night while drinking one of too many that “car bomb” is not cool and that we should be calling them “Dublin Drops”. Also re-learned how much I love Dublin Drops.

The Críth Gablach refers to the use of sea ash for salting joints of meat, and the twelfth century poem Aislinge Meic Con Glinne provides evidence that beef was salted as well as bacon (Jackson, 1990):
Wheatlet, son of Milklet, Son of juicy Bacon,
Is mine own name. Honeyed Butter-roll
Is the man's name
That bears my bag.
Haunch of Mutton
Is my dog's name,
Of lovely leaps.
Lard, my wife,
Sweetly smiles
Across the kale-top. Cheese-curds, my daughter, Goes round the spit,
Fair is her fame. Corned Beef, my son, Whose mantle shines Over a big tail.

I’m not Irish. I’m just barely Irish American enough to call myself Irish American when it’s convenient. St Patrick’s Day is more of an Irish American thing than an Irish thing. So Corned Beef and Cabbage it is. Now I’m off to the second biggest St Pats parade in NYS to try to somehow keep track of my 16 yr old in case he gets into trouble.

Corned beef as we know it today is neither Irish or British, it’s of Jewish origin. When Jews started settling in us cities, they brought the curing tradition with them. Ever heard of pastrami? The Irish, who were also settling in cities, were often in areas near jews, and started eating “corned” beef.

The “corned” beef the pommy occupiers made and exported was not what we now call corned. It was heavily salted for sea voyages and transport. The “corn” referred to the size of the salt grains used for curing. The industry developed in Ireland because the pommy bastards imported cattle to utilize abundant grass in Ireland and, because the tax structure on salt in particular created an advantage over product made in England.

History lesson over. Go eat some pastrami you schmucks.

I beg to differ. Hence this thread.

You mean that thread or this thread? I'm a Olde Village Inne guy rather than Gildea's. Too many drunk racist cops in Pearl River.

[MakersTeleMark]

That thread, my bad.

[BmillsSkier]

That looks well below the Rt 6 proposed boundary. But that Olde Village Inne looks like a fantastic place to have 3-8 beers.

My old neighborhood Irish pub, R.P. McMurphy's, from another lifetime ago:



A lot of decisions were made inside those walls.

Indeed it is. Truth be told, it may as well be Jersey

Thread bump, go find that pot of gold today.
