Top O'The Morning To You!
Happy St. Paddy's Day to all of you. Okay, so I am Irish and we have Corned Beef and Cabbage for dinner every March 17th? Nothing new right? The stuff is in the slow cooker now and it smells delightful. But, I was just thinking so we have the dinner down but, what is a true Irish dessert we could add to this feist? Short breads? Eh?

The only thing that springs to mind is barmbrack but that's not a dessert really.
I can't think of any true irish desserts.
I'll email my sis and see what she says as she lives there and she's not the irish one out of the three of us

It's a traditional American St.Patrick's Day dinner. Why I don't know but it sure is good.

@celticeagle It's traditional among Irish-American immigrants because they bought the corned beef brisket from the neighboring kosher butchers, who had no pork. It's very similar to the Irish bacon & cabbage dish.

My Dad's side traces me back to Dublin. No corned beef here though I love the stuff. Making individual pot pies stuffed with mashed taters and Irish cheese on the side. Dessert? Something green and minty cause of the hope for Spring.

I wish I had asked my family more about the family line. Your dinner sounds interesting.

We had our St. Patrick's day meal a couple of days ago. Hubby did have a cold corned beef sandwich for dinner. We are having ice cream for a late treat.

Sounds good. I don't think I ever fixed corned beef. I always use the canned.

We are so lame anymore, I did not even have corned beef this year..but if I had the choice for desert we would have bread pudding with nice hot custard home made. Thats the usual tradition for us.
