St Patty quick bites

Here are a few quick bites about St. Patrick’s Day: It’s a mostly American-created holiday. The Irish historically considered green to be an unlucky color to wear because it meant fairies would snatch you up and steal you. The traditional Irish diet consisted mostly of lamb and garden and root vegetables. Corned beef was most likely created on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the 1800s when Irish immigrants took a page from their Jewish neighbors and made brisket their own.
