Marissa Jonasson FYI, corned beef and cabbage is an American invention! The story goes that a few centuries ago, Irish beef was exported while Irish people mostly ate more affordable pork and made bacon and cabbage. When Irish people began emigrating to the US in large numbers, they found they could not afford pork. In New York, Irish-American housewives learnt from their Jewish neighbours how to buy and prepare brisket and corned beef. Hence, they came up with corned beef and cabbage!

Then yes, technically I guess it would be "American" but cause it was started by "Irish immigrants" that makes it IRISH also.

Thank you so much for this! As an Irish-American, there are many parts of my Irish heritage that were lost when my grandparents died. I have so many questions I wish I'd asked... I just love watching your videos! I have one possible idea for a future video, but it might be a bit...contentious. When I was in college, I had the pleasure of spending one summer working at a camp alongside a group from Belfast. They were wonderful to work with! But I learned from questions others asked that most Americans haven't a clue about why there is a "Northern Ireland." It's not often covered in our history lessons, I guess. Plus, I think many Americans sort of wrote off the tension in Northern Ireland after the St. Andrews Agreement, assuming everything has been "fixed" and now it's all "peace, love and harmony." I completely understand if you'd rather not delve into politics. But for us Yanks, even a small history lesson about the basic question, "Why is there an 'Ireland' and also a 'Northern Ireland'?" might be good. I spent most of my career working in the travel industry - and I'd be a rich woman if I had a dime fore every time I've been asked this. (Feel free to say "no" to any or all of this!)

My grandmother, an O’Donnell from Donegal in 1882 raised me since I had no parents. We always went to mass every St. Paddy’s Day. We wore some green. Her neice would always send shamrocks from home to us in California. My gran always had me wear this badger paw with a shamrock on it. She spoke Gaelic primarily. Her family’s land had never been taken, but many of her brothers were deceased for fighting the Brits over it. Our family would gather for a meal later. It was not a rollicking day.There was a sense of sadness for my gran being cut off due to some accidental hardships that she didn’t make it back home. Her brogue was thick & I had to interpret her form of English.

When I was just a little child, the house I lived in had carbon monoxide poisoning due to the water heater vent being broken and venting it into the lower level of the house instead of into the air. Of course dumb old me's favorite place to hang out was the room with the strongest concentration (~70%) because it had a true waterbed. While I was on this waterbed, a middle aged woman clad in white would go sit in the corner and read to me tales of the Celtic gods and the Nordic gods. Turns out that she was a hallucination caused by the carbon monoxide poisoning. But here's the rub. This was my first exposure to Celtic or Nordic mythology, and much of what she was saying was accurate to the mythology I read. From my understanding, she fit the description of the Goddess Brigid.

When their queen Victoria passed away, it was decreed that people in Ireland (this was pre-Easter 1916) painted their houses black as a mark of respect to the late foreign unelected monarch. The Irish as are famous for doing so rebelled, said 'b@lls' and painted their houses blue yellow white green and whatever colour they couldn't find that wasn't black!

Yes and no. As I am Irish and live in Florida. In 1600 La Florida a Spanish settlement. They haven't found any evidence that there was a "parade" for St. Patrick's Day. What they found was mention of the Day and the feast day of St. Patrick's Day. NY claims the oldest American parade for St. Patrick's Day and they would be correct. As in 1600 La Florida wasn't part of the US. There wasn't even a US "America" yet. And Irish immigrants that settled in the british colonies did the same thing as the priest in Florida. It just wasn't a big celebration. It was family and friends only and as a feast day. The very first parade in America was in response to all the hostile Irish hatred. It was a way to show their Irishness and proud to be Irish and that nothing was going to keep them down.

The first recorded celebrations of March 17 (St. Patrick’s day) took place in Boston in 1737, when a group of elite Irish men came together to celebrate over dinner what they referred to as “the Irish saint.” The tradition of parading began amongst Irish Catholic members of the British Army in New York in 1766 when the day “of St. Patrick, Saint of Ireland, was ushered in with Fifes and Drums,” as described in J.T. Ridge’s 1988 history of the New York parade. (From Time magazine)

Very informative! Thank you! Do y’all have any certain dishes you have on St. Patrick’s day?

Well sort of glossed over the Northern Ireland situation... As an American we've all heard the Cranberries "Zombie" song and seen Brad Pitt's "The Devil's Own" - I think things are less violent now, but there was / is a real war going on.

Really good videos- had no idea what the Irish flag actually meant despite painting it on my face for many-a-parade lol. Wonderful meaning.
