Settle down with this savory St. Patrick's Day Feast meal on St. Patty's Day 2024
St. Patrick's Day, or as some like to call it, the Feast of Saint Patrick is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. AD 385–461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
In America, we know it is an Irish holiday that we get to throw lavish parties inspired by the color green, but did you know Saint Patrick lived during the fifth century? He was born in Roman Britain, kidnapped, and brought to Ireland as a slave at the tender age of 16. He would later escape to freedom and later return to Ireland.
He is credited for bringing Christianity to its people. After his death, he was deemed the patron saint of Ireland and its national apostle.
If you look up St. Patrick's Day recipes, you will be bombarded with drinks, appetizers, and sweets.
This blog post is for those who want to have a proper Irish feast on this special day. This potato ham bake and crisp goat cheese salad are reminiscent of an Irish down-home meal.
I hope you enjoy it, and let me know in the comments section how it turned out.
