Going Gaelic

Skip the green and eat real food

OK, so today’s the day when many Americans down green beer, green milkshakes, green cupcakes, and the like, all in honor of the odd idea that, for today at least, we’re all Irish. If you’re not down with the green food coloring, however, try your hand at a Gaelic-inspired dish that’s truly sustaining, such as Irish Stew or the involved-but-satisfying Multigrain Struan. Elise Bauer, on Simply Recipes, has a version of the classic Irish soda bread, while plenty of other websites offer a medley of Irish recipes. Bonus points if you actually know what boxty, champ, and barmbrack are.
