Look at this
and remind yourself
This is cabbage, which will be eaten with bacon or corned beef across the planet in the strange idea that its what is eaten across Ireland next week.
Oddly enough on Saint Patrick’s Day, we are more likely to be eating Turkey, Spring Lamb, Salmon or a nice vegetarian number rather than the so called traditional meal.
Actually I imagine a lot of people will be eating fast food and “Shamrock Shakes” if they are at a main parade.
Which reminds me. Its called Saint Patrick’s Day, Saint Paddy’s Day, Patrick’s Day or Paddy’s Day. Never “Patty’s Day”. A Patty is something grilled and served between the slices of a bun in a fast food establishment.
In fairness there is a special day in Ireland when all the BBQ’s are fired up and patties are served. Its a random weekend in august, depending on the weather.
Take care,
Will Knott

You’re so right Will, Patty’s Day – what the hell is that? Someone from a US t-shirt company left a comment on a recent St. Paddy’s Day post of mine and they are actually selling ‘Patty’s Day’ t-shirts. I nearly lost it!

I can’t help wondering if we should celebrate a St. Patty’s Day on the August Bank Holiday weekend complete with “traditional” burger and vegiburger meals.
Complete with burger and BBQ logos.
Hey, if halmark can make fake holidays, then so can we.
If nothing else, it would make a great excuse for a tweet-up

Cabbage, ugh…
Hate it as much as I hate cauliflower
