 Ditto that, on knowing... An old co-worker from Ireland told me.  But, it's basically the one time of the year where it's somehow acceptable that I go beyond rational cabbage eating limits and everyone else joins in, thus making the resulting gas 'OK'. 
And seriously, if we're eating traditionally Irish, wouldn't we just be eating a lot of potatoes... or ??
