A Note to the Host
“Ireland is known for its many pubs and its exuberant pub culture. With a population of 3.6 million and 10,500 pubs, the "public house" is considered the center of social life. If you're planning to celebrate St. Paddy's Day at home, these "Pub Party" ideas will make your guests feel like they just crawled into the best pub in town!”
"Menu Notes"
- Irish cuisine is influenced by the crops grown and animals farmed in its temperate climate. The introduction of the potato in the second half of the 16th century heavily influenced Ireland's cuisine thereafter and, as a result, is often closely associated with Ireland. An Irish meal isn't really complete without some sort of potato!
- Pub food has evolved from simple bar snacks to traditional Irish dishes, and in some cases delicious culinary decadence! We've included a range of easy to prepare recipes that reflect the traditional taste treats of Ireland.
"Entertainment"
- If you plan to add a little Irish sport to your Pub Party, set up some games to engage your group. Traditional pub games include darts, dominoes, cards, bowling, billiards, and table football.
- Enjoy!
