What is St. Paddy's day? :-P

It's March 17. It's a day when lots of folks, especially the Irish in the United States, dine on corned beef and cabbage, a dish they learned about from New Englanders. Perhaps you've heard of the New England Boiled Dinner?

Google it up GN.

Then do "Bay Corn".

Corned beef was also served at Lincoln's inaugural dinner.  But I don't know if it was corned beef chili... it should have been!

The Menu is absolutely true.
However, Lincoln would not have known what Chili was since not much was known by people East of the Mississippi about Chili during his time. The USA version of Chili came about during the mid to late 1800's when "Cattle Drivers, Gold Prospectors and Chain Gangs throughout Texas enjoyed steaming bowls of long simmered beef, chiles and spices" - Source: Jane Butel's Revised & updated "Chili Madness" Cookbook from Workman Publishing Co. Inc. Her knowledge of the History of Chili is PHENOMENAL, along with many fantastic recipes! If you don't have the updated version of "Chili Madness", I suggest you get it. In the book, the origin of Chili is traced back to a Nun in Spain, Sister Mary of Agreda. Google it! She's an amazing story!

FoodB, oh... I thought I heard that around here somewhere. Maybe it was just that CB&C is not the most popular St. Paddy's Day dish in Ireland???

Edit; You beat me to tha punch Michael! Yep, what you said above... that is what I was thinking.

Michael & PapaJoe8,
Both of you are Correct!!! That's AMAZING that anyone is in agreement with Michael!
 
While Corned Beef was originated in Ireland, CB & Cabbage is not popular there. People in Ireland view CB & C as an "American Thing".
 
St. Paddy's Day, like Cinco de Mayo, Halloween, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, New Years Eve and all the other "Days" have been exploited to the MAX in our country by the Beer, Booze & Food People. Americans love an excuse to party and "They" are willing to exploit it for Sales & Profit. Buy their stock!!

Everyone is always in agreement with me, or they're wrong. Lots of people hate to have to admit it, but that's their problem.

Foodbme, I hate to rain on your parade but I have had Corned beef chili on my menu for years. As no on has ever ordered it I couldn't tell you what it tastes like as I've never made it...just kidding, what a unique idea, I also love to brainstorm new soup ideas!

St. Paddy's day is a legitimate reason to get drunk for no particular reason!
