From Barbara Rolek - Eastern European Food
The dough in this no-knead, one-rise recipe for Hungarian Beer Bread can be formed into rolls or loaves, but I like them as sticks or pretzels best. Their crunch makes them good candidates for cocktails or, what else, more beer! Translate this into a healthier snack by using white whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose.

If you swap pork for beef in this hearty Polish recipe for smoked pork butt and cabbage, you have a dead ringer for corned beef and cabbage. Leftovers can be turned into soup or another meal over noodles.

Gluten and Dairy Free Irish Soda (Freckle) Bread Recipe
Celebrate St. Patrick's Day gluten and dairy free with this lovely, fragrant loaf of Irish Soda Bread- more accurately called "Freckle Bread or Spotted Dog" thanks to the raisins that stud the loaf.

According to Elaine Lemm, About.com Guide to British and Irish Food, "Brack is one of Ireland's most famous bakery products." Barm brack is a yeast bread, unlike more common Irish breads which are leavened only with baking soda. This recipe is laced with fragrant fresh lemon peel, plump raisins and chopped candied ginger. The golden loaf is slightly sweet and delicious!

From Kevin Weeks - Cooking for Two
There is nothing more Irish than Guinness. Made using water from the Liffey River, it is one of the most famous beers (specifically a "stout") in the world. A staple of English (and Irish) pub fare is Steak and Guinness Pie, a wonderfully hearty meal on a cold and blustery March day. Be sure to buy an extra pint or two to wash down the pie. From Cooking for Two

Corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day is an American tradition, but the Irish were long famous for their corned beef. Corning your own beef requires starting a week in advance, but it couldn't be easier to do and is far superior to what you can buy at the supermarket. And cooking it is another good excuse for a pint or two of Guinness. From Cooking for Two

- About Southern Cuisine -

Southern United States cooking has been influenced by many cultures. It includes Native and African American, French, Spanish, Soul food, Creole, Cajun and many others. Much of the Cajun/Creole cuisine is based on French food. Southern food also has a Caribbean influence. Generally, Southern cooking can be described as "Comfort food".

The main staple of the Southern diet is corn (maize). This was borrowed from the Native American cuisine. Corn grows well in the South and is used to make famous dishes such as cornbread and grits and also liquors such as whiskey and moonshine. Southerners have a fondness for a large breakfast of grits, eggs and bacon or sausage in patties.

Southern food varies widely from state to state. In Louisiana you will find Cajun and Creole, North and South Carolina you can enjoy black-eyed peas and salt pork. Tennessee and Texas are famous for their barbecue. Florida offers Swamp cabbage and Key Lime Pie. Georgia is known for peaches and peanuts.

Foods commonly associated with the South are fried chicken, country ham, barbecue, catfish, bacon, cornbread, pecan pie, peas, turnip, sweet potato, cobbler, grits, biscuits, sorghum, okra red-eye-gravy and mint juleps.

Southern food chains that are popular in the United States outside of the South and around the world include Kentucky Fried Chicken KFC, Hardee's and Waffle House.
