On Planning A Saint Patrick's Day Dinner
Everyone's Irish on March 17th, so why not host your own Saint Patrick's Day dinner? Whether you just love a good, dark Guinness or you're curious what "bangers and rum sauce" tastes like, you can put together a unique and hearty feast without spending much money. Stews, potato dishes, fish, Reuben sandwiches, corned beef and cabbage are just some of the first foods that come to mind on this special feast day.
According to the Food Services of America organization, a Saint Patrick's Day dinner of corned beef and cabbage is perhaps more of an Irish immigrant luxury than a traditional dinner served in Ireland. Thanks to the use of expensive salts in production, corned beef was a costly delicacy that was reserved for annual Easter feasts. Pork and fresh beef would be more authentic Saint Patricks Day dinner ideas. The FSA recommends serving up the following dishes for your dinner this March. Irish Lamb Stew, Irish Pot Roasted Chicken, Marinated Fried Fish Strips & Potatoes, Cod Cobbler, Potato & Parmesan Gratin, Bangers and Rum Sauce and Irish Smoked Salmon Salad.
Lest not we forget what drinks to serve with our special Saint Patrick's Day feast! A typical accompaniment to any Irish table would be something like Guinness or Murphy's. The Guinness brewery originated in St. James's Gate, Dublin circa 1725 and remains the top-selling beer in Ireland. Murphy's Irish Stout, based in County Cork since 1856, is the fastest growing stout in the world, available in 70 countries now. It's a fallacy that green beer is representative of an authentic Irish celebration. Some people think it's cute to mix a few drops of green food coloring in a lighter beer like Harp, but you're best served with Irish lager, Irish stout or Irish ale. The most popular lagers sold in Ireland include Harp and Heineken. Irish stouts like Guinness, Murphy's and Beamish are heavier, darker beers. Smithwick's is the most heralded Irish red ale. For Irish whiskey, look for Bushmills or Jameson.
What Saint Patrick's Day dinner would be complete without a tasty Irish dessert? Irish chef Damien Brassel of Knife & Fork in Manhattan recommends serving a bottle of whiskey. Cathal Armstrong, an Irish chef at Restaurant Eve in Alexandria, Virginia, recommends apple-based desserts like crumbles, pies, cakes, fritters, dumplings or soufflés. For an Irish-American take on desserts, try a Guinness Cake. With any luck, your St. Patty's Day dinner will inspire your children to carry on Irish customs and traditions of their own one day.

Guinness Extra Stout - Out of the Bottle or in a Pint Glass?
Well? (I've heard that you are "supposed" to drink Extra Stout from the bottle and Draught from a glass... )
Bottles are for storing and transporting drinks; glasses are for drinking them. Don't confuse the two items or their functions
