Every week, Clay Today will test or enlighten your knowledge on a variety of topics. This week, St. Patrick’s Day.
Some of us were a little langered Sunday in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. If you know the definition of langered means, you started Monday with a couple of aspirins, too. The Irish holiday is supposed to celebrate the day St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, and the people celebrated the feat by eating corned beef and cabbage and hoisting a few pints of Guinness. But did you know St. Patrick was born in Britain? And there were no snakes in Ireland? Corned beef and cabbage is an American tradition. The Irish ate ham and cabbage. And the first St. Patrick’s Day parade wasn’t in Ireland. It was in St. Augustine in 1601.
