Spud Sunday: The Food Parade Rides Again

Good gracious, is that the time of year?

I can hardly believe that March beckons already, and while we’ve been busy spring-cleaning our parliament and choosing new political colour schemes, one thing remains certain: Paddy’s Day is a-coming and it’s green all the way.

So, if you’re food blogging something with St. Patrick’s Day in mind, why not join me for another Paddy’s Day Food Parade this year (and if you’re participating in the Irish Cookalongs traditional Irish cookalong on March 4th, why not send along your best Irish wares for display in the parade too).

Me: (sheepishly) Well, for a start, there’s no bacon…

* for the uninitiated, this phrase translates roughly as ‘bugger it’

To be fair, you would be well within your rights to storm off, but perhaps you should have a looksee at what you’re missing first:
