Anyone celebration today? No green beer for me, never had a taste for beer.

@jcboy,

Nah... too old for that malarky. While there'll be thousands heading into town for the parade, fun, games and merriment. AKA a piss up.

Instead I went to the local cafe this morning and got a cold brew with green Irish foam cream. I am enjoying now as we speak.

@jcboy,

No green beer, no boiled dinners. Never go put on St Patty's, especially on a Friday or Saturday St Patty.

Over here a few pubs have a special Guinness promotion but that's about it.

We don't do green beer or anything like that.

I will be a pea fritter from the chip shop this evening which is about as green as I get.

@izzythepush,

Having said that, it's more than we do for St George's Day, and he's supposed to be our patron Saint.

@izzythepush,

The Guinness and the pea fritter sound good, but green beer is always off the menu.

What would a St George celebration be like? St Patty's in the US is all about being obnoxious without the approbation that would accompany that behavior on, say. May 7th or June 23.

The pea fritters at the chip shop I go to in West End are very good.

I was put off them for a bit by a really vile one from a now closed down chippy in Portswood.

All place names are Southampton regions.

I love St. Pattys Day, I have a black tee-shirt with clover all over it and a lovely pair of shamrock stockings. But there's a big nooooo to green beer, it's an outrage. I'll be tipping a glass of Jameson in the later part of the day.

I don't like whisky or whiskey either. My tipple is calvados.

That's never been a thing over here.

@izzythepush,

It really shouldn't be a thing over here, I'm not a fan.

I'm also not a fan of corned beef and cabbage. I like a good beef brisket but not the taste of corned beef.

@jcboy,

if given a choice, i'll take pastrami over corned beef...

@Region Philbis,

Now that I do like, a good pastrami sandwich. Corned beef always tasted salty to me.

Agreed but I rarely even have pastrami as I find it can be too salty as well...you really have to find a good place to get it and .if you do I agree a really good pastrami is awesome

@Linkat,

My Grandmother made the best Corned beef, but I couldn't get near the cabbage. Cabbage is better when it is raw. If you make it at home, the Corned Beef can be glorious.
