You no doubt have already but here’s how to drown the shamrock on St Paddy’s Day.
Because it is a thing where you drink the last shot of the night through the flower.
Although maybe make sure you take the soil off it first.
You might not immediately shamrock as something you might eat.
Although it would not be the first edible flower.
And long before it became a bougie thing to do.
The Dutch were eating their tulips to stave off the Hongerwinter of 1944-45.
Eat your greens
If you want to get an authentic taste of the Irish sod.
Then you can always meld its most famous vegetable with its national flower.
In Keogh’s Shamrock and Sour crisps, which are described as herbal and garlicky.
But if you want to go even further why not put a twist on this Shamrock Pesto Pizza from Parade.com.
With some real edible shamrocks for garnish.
While for dessert then we lift our hat to their Leprechaun Hat Reveal cake.
Which they promise us reveals green shamrocks hiding inside a white cake.
And drink your greens too
Of course no Paddy’s Day would be complete without a booze theme.
And you should demand that the bartender put a shamrock on the froth on your stout.
Or you can do it yourself.
Alternatively you can get the crème de menthe, Midori or any apple-green liquor.
And mix up a cocktail or give yourself a Shamrock Shots chaser.
However you celebrate a Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit from all of us either Irish or in the Irish diaspora.
