May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.

What is black pudding? White pudding?
Wondering what black pudding and white pudding is? No, it's not chocolate and vanilla desserts! Actually, these puddings are breakfast sausages! Black pudding is made with the blood and fat of the pig, mixed with bread crumbs and seasonings. White pudding is basically the same thing, but without the blood!
It used to be that every Irish family had a backyard pig...when they butchered it, they rightly used EVERY part of the animal...Waste Not, Want Not! The tradition of blood sausage has been passed on through the generations and is still enjoyed today in a traditional Irish breakfast!

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

Finish with an Irish Tea
The Irish will tell you that the only teas worth drinking are either Lyon's or Barry's...and usually they have a preference between the two! The best Irish teas blend perfectly with the water in Ireland, so you may not get quite the same effect when you have Irish breakfast tea in other places!
