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 ??

Ooh, I'll put my bacon-y note elsewhere. Like here.
