    Gluten-Free St. Patrick\'s Day Recipes Title imageHappy St. Paddy’s Day! If you have been busy with other things and the holiday has caught you off guard, no worries, I’ve got you covered! Today I’m sharing a roundup of traditional Irish dishes you can still make and some that play on the whimsy of the holiday. Included are some tippling options to accompany more traditional Irish Guinness, Harp or straight up whiskey.

    When I was working in High Tech during the Silicon Valley heyday, my company had a service center in Dundalk Ireland, as well as I worked on a customer team for a fruity tech company that shall remain nameless (though you probably all own their phones, computers and tablets) who had a plant in Cork Ireland. I’d travel there fairly often for one reason or another and was fortunate to make local friends with whom I’ve shared many a laugh in Ireland, the U.S. and in other countries around the world.

    One such business gathering happened in the U.S. around St. Patrick’s Day. Hailing from Ireland I felt sure my mates would want to hit a local pub to celebrate U.S. style. It was only then I learned the crazed green obsession and pinching were really something the Yanks were responsible for. Maybe it was iterated from original Irish immigrants or the interpretation of the holiday but my friends were always taken aback a bit with the rowdy display on behalf of their beloved Catholic saint (and these folks were no wilting lilies on the celebration front).

    In Ireland, they shared, the holiday was really a religiously-based and therefore quite tame and reverent. I believe that is changing now with more of the Irish-American influence at least in cities such as Dublin. A few St. Paddy’s Day ago a blogging colleague from Dublin, Aoife from The Daily Spud, did me the honor of writing a guest post on the holiday in Ireland for a bit of comparison.

    I will share one tidbit of education as I’ve seen some slack jawed American bloggers of late, befuddled after a bit of a tongue lashing from Irish readers over some of the nicknames for St. Patrick’s Day. If referring to the holiday in a more familiar form, it is St. Paddy’s Day; NOT St. Patty’s Day. In Irish parlance, ‘Paddy’ is the shortened name from Patrick for a boy. ‘Patty’ is a girl’s nickname for Patricia. Rogue comments may be found on social media posts for cheery, whimsical dishes celebrating ‘St. Patty’s Day’, querrying  ‘Who is St. Patty?!’.

      I think this is an awesome idea doing a gluten free round up! My nephew can not have gluten so he would definitely appreciate this!

        I’m so glad it’s helpful Nancy! Since I am gluten-free, as are all my recipes (either naturally or with substitutions that are always declared) I’ve done a number of similar round-ups for holidays. I hope you’ll poke around a bit to see if there aren’t other things he might not like. My kids are both gluten-free too and often an inspiration for my recipes!

      I am drooling over all these wonderful gluten-free options for St. Patricks Day. I had mistakenly called it St. Patty on my blog and was immediately corrected by a reader. As soon as they wrote St. Paddy, I realized my error. St. Patty’s Day is probably more appropriate in the US since we don’t actual celebrate St. Patrick’s Day for its real reason.
