The American Irish get stuck into a plate of Cornedbeef and Cabbage (yech)! When I said that I'd spent nine years in Ireland and had never come across this menu item on St. Patrick's day, I just got a few funny looks. It turns out that it's tradition among the American Irish - you know, those who are more Irish than the Irish. I dare say that Alan's menu would not go down well here even if something similar would be on the menu at the Bottle Tower in Churchtown, Dublin or any of the watering holes along the east coast as far as Waterford or better. So far the American Irish have turned the Chicago River green on St. Patrick's day, they've swallowed green Guinness and green beer and even dyed their hair green. Thank God I'm only half Irish and half nuts!
