While we’re an appreciator of traditions, we can’t help but find others who are adding a pinch of "awesome-ness" to the tried-and-true! Here are a few of our delicious findings:
First off, we have a Savory Bread Pudding from The Liberties in San Francisco, CA. With 3 kinds of Irish bangers in it – it’s a stand-alone meal with a Guinness, or try dunking it in some farm-fresh, fried eggs. If you’re going to act like a banshee all afternoon, you need a good breakfast, friends.
Now that our tummy’s rumbling has been tamed, it’s time for a drink! 7x7 Magazine has graciously put together a list of tasty Irish-inspired cocktails to help you avoid another year of green beer.
And to top it all off, an ingenious take on the famous Irish Car Bomb: Guinness & Bailey’s Irish Cream Cupcakes, courtesy of Annie’s Eats food blog. These precious little morsels are made from a Guinness chocolate cake base, filled with Bailey’s spiked ganache, then topped with Bailey’s buttercream frosting. We are drunk with love.
At the end of the day, after enjoying some new-fangled delights; wade your way through the shamrocks and seas of green, pinch a few friends and maybe a foe, and listen to Flogging Molly & Dropkick Murphy's songs blaring at your favorite pub.
Top it all off with a classic. Because, there really is nothing like an honest-to-goodness Irish Car Bomb! Just ask our favorite Boston Terrier, Quinn.
“There are only two kinds of people in the world:
The Irish and those who wish they were.”
