The Irish guy in the cube next to mine says to avoid the cafeteria when they're doing an Irish theme, as the Irish are the worst cooks in the world. I'm not sure what grounds I have to doubt him.

German, Norwegian and Polish ancestry here. I find the Irish highly entertaining- at a safe distance. Those loons are unstable. :lol:

Coming from someone of Polish extraction, that's hilarious!!

I have several cousins (by marriage) of Polish descent. We keep them around because, at family reunions, they make the rednecks look normal. :lol:

I've always found Polish people to be extremely predictable. :lol: Irish on the other hand.....

That's a waste of good meat.
It was apparently one of those 'meh' cuts that SWMBO's ex-step-mom (Dad's 2nd wife, wife's brother's mom... the family tree is a bit splintered on her side) tried this on. Tasted really, really good and I can't complain: it was given to us that way, and was free. With the exception of the 1st trimester (when speaking of red meat was verboten) we've been eating off the ~90lbs of moose, caribou, halibut, and rockfish we brought back from AK since last summer.

Also, the wife found this last night:

Irish stew, soda bread, and cabbage, here. Why did God create alcohol? So the Irish wouldn't conquer the world!
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Ya know, if I wanted corned beef I'd go to a Jewish deli. I did it right this year.

Pearl river(up in Rockland county) has a lot of "Irish" bars and does their parade this weekend. It's usually a damn good time and there's plenty of "tanked up trim" to be found. There's also far fewer dumb asses than at the the NYC parade. If you're so inclined and have the time.

The difference is, I can take public transportation to Manhattan. Rockland County is a longish drive..

You COULD take public transportation to Pearl River if you were so inclined. The Pascack Valley line on NJ Transit goes there. Get to Penn Station in NYC by whatever means you choose, take train to Secaucus Junction, then transfer to Pascack Valley train.

Not saying you'd WANT to, but you could.

Maybe if you were Clint Eastwood and LOVED to take public transportation (as long as it was part of a movie with plenty bodyguards around).
