Do you realise that NOBODY in ireland eats corned beef and cabbage?
People barely eat corned beef in sandwiches, nevermind anything else.
Bacon (ham) and cabbage is eaten here alright, sometimes. But anyway, I hav never heard of anyone eating a special meal on Paddy's day. Cos everyone is drinking it's usually chips.
Also, Guinness is not a beer, it is heresy to say it is, it's actually a stout.
Why drink green beer? That's kinda disgusting?!
March 17th is the day St. Patrick died. St. Patrick's day is a religious holiday celebrating Ireland's Patron saint, cos he converted Ireland to christianity.
And if you want to celebrate a traditional Paddy's day, go to catholic mass, said in irish, and then watch the parade, and then have a meal, and then go to the pub.
Some of the hokey stereotypical stuff is what we call plastic Irish. That is, irish - american inventions that are a little insulting to real irish people.
That help at all?!
