On Erin's green valleys, on Erin's green valleys, On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love. Hail, glorious Saint Patrick, thy words were once strong Against Satan's wiles and an infidel throng; Not less is thy might where in heaven thou art; O, come to our aid, in our battle take part. On Erin's green valleys, on Erin's green valleys, On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love. In the war against sin, in the fight for the faith, Dear saint, may thy children resist unto death; May their strength be in meekness, in penance, their prayer, Their banner the cross which they glory to bear. On Erin's green valleys, on Erin's green valleys, On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love. Thy people, now exiles on many a shore, Shall love and revere thee till time be no more; And the fire thou hast kindled shall ever burn bright, Its warmth undiminished, undying its light. On Erin's green valleys, on Erin's green valleys, On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love. Ever bless and defend the sweet land of our birth, Where the shamrock still blooms as when thou wert on earth, And our hearts shall yet burn, wherever we roam, For God and Saint Patrick, and our native home. On Erin's green valleys, on Erin's green valleys, On Erin's green valleys look down in thy love. Words by Sister Agnes

Anyway you leave Eve alone. Google yer own puddin'

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!

Karin Posts: 825 Group: Members Member #9 Joined: September 26, 2006	Oh good one, Patrick! My paternal grandmother was 100% Irish (but she'd say either Shanty Irish or Scotch/Irish). As a child, I knew to behave or I would end up being admonished in the old Irish. However, because she was married to a full blooded German, sometimes I would be reprimanded in German and if I was truly a horrible child, it would be in the Scottish...and given freshly made Haggis to eat. For anyone not used to eating Haggis, it's a bit of a shock. To this day, I can't even get near one! We did eat a lot of cabbage, but never corned beef and cabbage until my mother (half Irish and half German) felt corned beef and cabbage was THE item to serve on St. Patrick's Day and yes, she dyed the beer green. One year she even dyed the flowers in the centerpiece green! Everything was a theme! I just wore green yesterday (I am half Irish and half German), since all we did was clean house. Our local, "Houghton's", burned down two days ago, right before the holiday. It was one of the only pubs locally which had traditional Irish music and tamp. The fire was so intense, that the building had to be pulled down immediately once the blaze was out. Later that day, a huge bouquet of flowers was laid on what was left of the front stoop - complete with shamrocks. It was a terrible tragedy for the University professors and patrons who were regulars. But we hope it will be rebuilt in good order better than ever. I wonder what my old Gran would say about all the hub-bubb we Irish Americans make over the holiday?

On St. Patrick's day we either have shepherd's pie (lamb, none of that beef stuff) or a good piece of Haddock. I'm not Irish, yet Celtic by way of the lowlands. If you tried to boil american bacon it would be evil in the extreme.

Yes, this was also very popular in my youth But the corned beef to which i refer is quite unlike the tinned rubish available in the UK. Usually of Argentinian origin. The Irish Corned Beef is a salted beef and the most popular cut is Silverside. The English have a similar Salted Beef which they serve with Carrots and Potatoes. I have not seen Salted Beef for many years. Partly, I think, because some of the ingredients have been banned from use in Europe.
