It was based on a recipe of vegetarian crockpot recipes published in 2004. The word "vegan" does not appear in the book, but some of the recipes are indeed plant-based.
One such was a French white bean and cabbage soup that called for one grated potato. Yeah, OK. ONE potato? I think not.
I added quartered red potatoes and smoked salt and called it St. Patrick's Day soup. Made it yesterday for my vegan daughter and her vegan roommate.
I always have corned beef and cabbage with potatoes. It's three of my favorite foods.
I also make soda bread, but I make that pretty often, since it's so easy and good.
This year, my MIL had a whiskey tasting, so I made a dessert to go with that...a Guinness and dark chocolate cake with a whiskey-chocolate ganache. It turned out great.
The whiskeys chosen for the tasting were Michael Collins, Jameson Black Barrel, Bushmills, Jameson 12-year Special Reserve, and Tullamore Dew.

I made shrimp & boneless chicken thigh gumbo over basmati rice for dinner. I use a good smoked Andouille sausage and More Than Gourmet fish stock reduction but it's otherwise a pretty vanilla gumbo recipe. Not exactly Irish food.
We had lunch at an on-mountain restaurant at the ski area. They have a signature lamb stew-based shepherds pie. I had that and a Guinness. My girlfriend had a Reuben and Irish Coffee. I had a bite of that, too. I coaxed the shepherds pie recipe out of the resort's executive chef a few years ago. The secret ingredient is port and a lot of fresh ground black pepper at the very end. You get the sweet from the port and the heat from the black pepper.
I will be making corned beef & cabbage, even though it is not an Irish tradition of food, but I do it to honor my ancestors, who were all Irish. If I gave my elderly neighbors some real Irish food, they probably wouldn't eat it, so I stick to Irish American corned beef.

Would you post that cake recipe? I've had chocolate cake with whiskey, but not Guinness. I love corned beef, but all the Irish I know would, like me, prefer to try that cake.
We enjoy celebrating many holidays, big and small. I also have Irish roots. Among others.
I'm part Irish, but, similar to you, I will scavenge any and all holidays in order to have an excuse to eat and drink swell stuff.
