More shocking facts about St. Patrick's Day

Via Bird Dog over at Maggie's Farm.

Wait, what?  His name was actually Maewyn Succat, and Patricius was his Romanicized name!!  He was an England-born slave of Irish raiders.  He was English! No, say it ain't so!  The Limeys are everywhere!


The Irish do not cook Corned Beef and Cabbage - except for American tourists.  The real name of the meal is New England Boiled Dinner (yuck). 

What is actually Irish? Shepherd's Pie is.  Now that's more like it!  Real man food. The food of raiders and slavers!  Arrr, me bucko!  Avast there on the mainsail!

  2. Made a very nice irish pork stew today with carraway seed and baby cabbages and Guinness stout. Fall-apart tender and great over mashed potatoes
