You can count on Floridians for weird and wild stuff. Granted the 1960s and '70s ideas of what was appropriate in a gelatin salad, though, these mid-March treats are pretty tame for something from Florida.
If you want to go the traditional corned beef route, but want it cold and jiggly (because who wants hot food as late winter slowly thaws into early spring?), then Corned Beef Salad is for you:
Maybe serve it on a bed of shredded cabbage so you can have corned beef and cabbage.
If the (presumably chopped!) green pepper doesn't make Corned Beef Salad sufficiently green St. Paddy's day fare, there's always an emerald option:
If you were hoping for a yummy, dessert-style lime-based salad, well... the shredded cucumber and grated onion suggest that this is not your lucky day after all. If you're a fan of dessert-sweet lime with cucumber, onion, mayo, and cottage cheese, though, you're clearly a psychopath. Get out there and enjoy the chance to damage property and discharge bodily fluids at will in public rather than spending the day with an Emerald Salad Ring.
Actually, you know what? On second thought, maybe your energies are better spent on weird salad molds. However you celebrate, happy St. Patrick's Day!
Ah, yes. The end of your post reminds me of someone who mistakenly took children to the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in CR. They were thinking it was a parade, and kids love parades... Although I do remember working in the same neighborhood as 3 Irish pubs, and it was always entertaining to watch out the windows on the evening of the 17th. Thankfully work hired security guards for our parking lot that night. Maybe more people should stay home and make ring molds that you would have to be thoroughly wasted before you would eat them.
ReplyDeleteI stay far away from any and all parades, with the exception of having the Macy's parade on as mostly-ignored background noise on Thanksgiving morning.
