An Irish Feast

Here is the Saint Patrick's Day meal I made, featuring some traditional Irish dishes, some green dishes, and some minty dishes. To decide what to make, I began by listing all Irish dishes I could think of, the ones that were well known. I then listed all the naturally green foods I could think of, then thought about dishes (desserts) that would taste good with mint flavoring. From that list, I chose my final meal, with some input from my diners as well. The recipes and further explanations will follow in the days to come.
