| St. Patrick's Day arrives just when the seasons are at their most ambivalent. Will it rain? Will it snow? Will the sun suddenly appear, bringing gardens and green delicious things back to life? The simple country fare on the traditional St. Patrick's Day table reflects this tipping point between winter and spring. Over-wintered potatoes and cabbage, along with preserved beef and bacon are the classic choices — along with a pint of good Irish beer. Here are a dozen simple ways to enjoy St. Patrick's and the Irish influence in American cooking. From a vegetarian hash to succulent roasted cabbage with bacon, and real Irish scones to a hot Irish cocktail, pick up a plate or a glass and be Irish, at least for today, saying goodbye to winter and hello to spring. |
