No Parade? No Problem!
A ST. PATRICK’S DAY (REMOTE) PARTY!
NO PARADE? NO PROBLEM!
F or the second year in a row, the St. Patrick’s Day annual parade has been canceled by the powers-that-be here in San Diego. It’s a decision reached between Irish heritage organizations here in the area as well as our city and local government, and although it’s certainly the healthiest call, it’s also one more in a long line of public celebrations that haven’t occurred in the past 12 months. But as we round the corner on a year of off-and-on quarantine, we can still enjoy St. Patrick’s Day in style. We’ve broken it down into the two most important parts of any party: what to eat and what to do. CUISINE Although the Irish are well-known for their art, their eating sometimes gets the cold shoulder.
That’s a bit unfair, as the country (and the people who spread across the world) has a storied history when it comes to food, and no, we don’t just mean corned beef and soda bread (although both are tasty). From an Ulster fry in the morning — sausage, tomato, black pudding, bacon, eggs, and a thick slice of Irish brown bread — to a cheese gratin for dinner, there are many options for St. Patrick’s Day eating. Most of them are hearty fare, so you may want to choose just one meal and stick to that. You could also settle for a Guinness chocolate pudding dessert or perhaps an Irish Whiskey Old Fashioned with elderflower cordial instead of orange. ENTERTAINMENT There’s no shortage of options here. Irish trivia is best-suited for a group meeting over Zoom,
Skype, or FaceTime. This bar trivia-inspired event will keep your group laughing, and guessing, long into the night. The rules are identical to regular trivia games, but all the answers must relate back to Irish music, movies, history, or literature. How closely you define that is up to you and your friends, of course. You can make a similar substitution for fill-in-the-blank card games or charades. An activity that involves less engagement is a group watch of an Irish movie — again, defined as loosely as you want — using the same technology. Or, book clubs may set aside a week (or month) for Irish literature. The sky is the limit. Irish spirits are optional, but having fun is not.
