Maxvorstadt: Well, Guinness is a good beer. But I didn`t know that pork is Irish, I always thought they only eat butter and Cheddar. :-)

adaliabooks: Pork is reasonably Irish (bacon anyway), but I think lamb is the more 'traditional' Irish meat. Irish Stew is a lamb stew for example.
according wiki is pork much more important than sheep actually (tab ending the article) and with almost prehistoric tradition

flanner: instead of the four leaf clover .)

Oh yeah, pork is certainly consumed in much higher quantities (the aforementioned bacon as well as sausages) but I've always thought the meat associated with Ireland was lamb rather than pork/bacon, though it seems both have a significant history and connection.

Funnily enough, I've always thought of us for beef :P. True, we eat massive amounts of rashers, sausages and ham, but our beef is pretty top-notch and it was always a staple in my meals, whether roast, corned or rare steak :D.

I suppose. It's certainly more common to see Irish Beef on sale here then lamb or pork (though you do see that occasionally).

We were never much of a beef eating family (other than mince in bolognase or burgers etc.) so I don't really associate that with Ireland particularly.

I tend not to celebrate it since it comes across as glorifying religious repression more specifically when Christian zealots criminalized paganism/heathenism and tried to destroy the native religions and spiritualities of the European peoples as well as the spread of horrible propaganda to demonize the pagans/heathens including the use of leftover Roman imperialist propaganda.

I will say happy St. Pat's to those who celebrate it despite me being folkish heathen and I recognize it is simply used as a day to get drunk during the day. I've cut down on my drinking but cheers to those who are doing it during the day.
