Celebrating my cultural heritage through boiled meat

That's what I would do if I were in New York this weekend, by eating a corned beef and cabbage panini from 'Wichcraft.

Serious Eats makes it look pretty delicious on their A Sandwich a Day column, saying it's basically an Irish Reuben. I like the sound of that.

Failing a trip to 'Wichcraft, I'd still like to eat something Irishy tonight. Can anyone think of an appetizing sandwich that's either green or prominently features potatoes (or both)? Because I can't.

Maybe I'll just get Chick-fil-A instead.

In any case, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, here are two Irish things of note:

According to Boar's Head, Pepperhouse Gourmaise is "real mayonnaise with a touch of Boar's Head Deli Mustard and a house blend of black, white, pink and green peppercorns." They also claim that it goes well with poultry, beef and pork. What a pepperhouse might look like if it were a thing ( photo by Justin Sachtleben ) I can confirm that it goes well with poultry and pork (or at least ham — I haven't tried it with any other pig-meats). And the quality of the ingredients seems to live up to Boars Head's high standards. As a black pepper kind of guy, I'm impressed by their fancy pink peppercorns. Still, I can't say I'm satisfied with B.H.P.G. Its color is off-putting and the peppercorns hurt my teeth. And while it's deci...
