St. Patrick's Day may be a literal celebration of a saint, but whiskey, merriment, and traditional Irish foods are important components of its tradition. From Beef and Guinness Pie to Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake to a great pint of Irish beer, we've found dozens of delicious ways for you to enjoy this March holiday. Don't forget to start your day with the boozy buzz of an Irish coffee (and finish it with one, too!).
Where's the Beef?
If there's one meaty entree associated with Irish cuisine and St. Patrick's Day, it would have to be corned beef. Whether enjoyed with cabbage, or piled high on a sandwich with Russian dressing, we can't get enough of this old school dish gone deli favorite. Try it for breakfast as a hash with eggs.
