Your St. Paddy's Day Primer


We'll be celebrating St. Patrick's Day on March 17th and thought today was a great day to share our St. Paddy's Day Primer.

At first, all we knew about St. Paddy's Day was that it's a good idea to wear green (dust off that green blazer hiding in the back of the closet!) and that it's a good day to celebrate with Irish Whiskey (like Bushmills and Jameson) and Irish Beer (like Guinness, Murphy's and Smithwick's). We also remember the vibrant image above of the Chicago River dyed green for the Windy City's epic St. Paddy's Day parade.

Originally a Catholic holiday for Saint Patrick, the most popular patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick's Day has become a wildly popular international celebration of Irish culture. So, get ready to wear some shamrocks and anything green you've got!

At FoodPair, we'll be waiting until the work day ends to start sipping on this Irish Coffee, but we couldn't wait that long to present you with a St. Paddy's Day menu fit for a king. Get things started with a seriously green & delicious Green Pea Soup, followed by an Aged Cheddar & Guinness Fondue or Irish Lamb Stew with Soda Bread for sopping up all the broth.

To help you assemble the ideal Irish menu for St. Paddy's Day, we fired up the increasingly powerful FoodPair search engine and found a handful of great recipes from across the Web.
