St. Patrick's Day Celebration: Traditional Irish Recipe Ideas

Having a dear hub belonging to the  Ryan Clan, and some Irish in me' lines as well, I have spent quite a bit o' time over the years seeking out some traditional Irish grub. Ya know, the kind that leaves my man talking with an Irish accent at the end of the meal. Haha. 

With St. Patrick's Day just a couple days out I know you all are dying to get your hands on some great recipes. I have posted some photos and links to quite a few traditional Irish recipes below. Some we have tried and some are on our list to-do. Let me know if you have any other Irish recipe favorites that should have made the cut.
