What Are The 10 Most Popular Dishes For St. Paddy’s Day?
St. Patrick’s Day is this weekend . . . Sunday! If you’re wondering what to serve up or eat, here are the most popular dishes for St. Paddy’s Day. For most people the day is celebrated with a pint or two of Guinness and some sort of Irish dish. Let’s face it, we’re all Irish on St. Paddy’s Day.
There’s the option of going to the grocery store and getting everything you need to make a corned beef and cabbage dinner or you can always try to get into an Irish pub and let them do the cooking for you. That’s what I plan on doing. Going to a place that knows how to make a delicious traditional Irish meal. If I had to pick one dish, it would probably be what is considered (not surprisingly the most chosen one) corned beef and cabbage with carrots.
You can make other choices you make as well, like a plate of fish and chips. If you want to keep with tradition, be sure to use a malt vinegar on the fries. I prefer a homemade tarter sauce with a dash or splash of hot sauce to kick things up.

In a new poll, 65% of Americans say they celebrate by eating traditional and “Irish-inspired” foods on St. Patrick’s Day. That is no surprise because we are all Irish on St. Paddy’s Day.
Of those festive people, 40% like corned beef and cabbage . . . 28% might have fish and chips . . . 27% would do corned beef on rye . . . and 24% are into having a Reuben sandwich.
Other popular dishes are: Shepherd’s pie . . . soda bread . . . Irish stew . . . pastrami on rye . . . “bangers and mash” . . . and colcannon, which is mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale.
Some people are looking to expand the options by adding “less traditional” foods, like carne asada and spaghetti. (???)
