Corned beef to me as a kid was this canned, finely-chopped beef in gelatin. Pretty nasty, not quite Spam-level but close.

When I first came here and started hearing people raving about having corned beef and cabbage for St Patrick's Day I was like WTF, you actually like that shit?

Isn't the local Welsh delicacy fucking eels?

Jellied eels? That's a London thing.

Wherever that is foul

Corned beef is nasty; corned beef and BOILED CABBAGE is atrocious, the consistency of boiled cabbage is among the worst things I can remember eating. I would rather have spam than that shit.

Growing up in a very, very Irish family I never understood the corned beef and cabbage thing...only times I ever remember having it is at school on St Paddy's day.

You mean like this?

Target acquired

I work in a high school with a huge Irish and wannabe irish on 3/17 so I always get a couple comments about no green.

He won't be bitching after the amateur crowd gives him a bunch of tips.

"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

I wore a green shirt to the office today and have got some Guiness at home for tonight and I'm only 25% Irish. Nothing to bitch about IMHO.

In Mexico, it is a celebration of the Mexican Army's victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla. It is primarily a ceremonial celebration, often times with military parades.

In the US, it has developed into a Mexican-American day of pride. It is often mistaken in the US as Mexican independence day (not true). Yes, it has turned into a drinking holiday like St. Paddy's Day.

Wifie always makes a big feast and it was always an eating celebration when the kids were here more as fun than really a celebration of their "Mexicanity." Now that they moved out, wifie usually makes some traditional Mexican fare and we do tequila shots.

You should follow my SJW family member on Facebook if you really want an answer to that question.

I'm impressed that in 3 pages here, only one stooge has referred to it as "Patty's" day

I need this on a t-shirt. That's fantastic.

HaHaHa - that's my favorite joke: What's Irish and stays out all night?

I gotta get me that shirt.

Yeah Boston turns into a shitshow.

Yup. I work just up the street from the Black Rose and it was already packed when I walked by at 8:30 this morning. I stepped out an hour ago to grab lunch real quick and saw a huge guy in a kilt with a shamrock shaved into his head staggering out of a T station and holding a red solo cup in his hand, beer spilling out of it. At least he's taking public transportation rather than driving.

Perfect storm today where it's on a Friday, city and state offices closed for Evacuation Day (commemorating the British being forced out of the city in 1776 after cannons from Fort Ticonderoga put in place on Dorchester Heights and aimed at the British fleet moored in the harbor) and March Madness thrown in for good measure.
