St. Patrick’s Day is more than just a celebration of Irish heritage—it’s a time to gather with loved ones and share a meal steeped in history, tradition, and warmth. From the comforting aroma of slow-cooked corned beef and cabbage to the rustic simplicity of Irish soda bread, food has long been at the heart of this beloved holiday.
At New Morning Market, we’re bringing time-honored St. Patrick’s Day favorites to your table with fresh, high-quality ingredients and an inspired holiday menu that pays homage to the flavors of the Emerald Isle.
A Taste of Irish Tradition
Corned Beef & Cabbage: A Transatlantic Classic
Although corned beef and cabbage is often associated with Ireland, the dish actually took root in Irish-American communities. In the 19th century, Irish immigrants in the U.S. found corned beef to be a more affordable alternative to the pork dishes they enjoyed back home. Simmered low and slow with cabbage, carrots, and potatoes, it became a staple of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
At New Morning Market, we’re proud to offer All-Natural Fresh Corned Beef – always free from antibiotics and added hormones – in our Meat Department, along with organic cabbage, carrots, and potatoes in our produce department—all the essentials for creating a meal rich in tradition and flavor.
Irish Soda Bread: Simple, Rustic, & Perfectly Buttery
Traditional Irish soda bread, made with simple ingredients like flour, buttermilk, baking soda, and salt, was a household staple in Ireland for centuries. Its dense, slightly tangy crumb pairs beautifully with a smear of butter—or, for a festive twist, a drizzle of local honey.
Our St. Patrick’s Day menu features freshly baked Irish Soda Bread that’s as golden and hearty as the loaves you’d find in an Irish countryside kitchen.
Shepherd’s Pie: The Ultimate Comfort Dish
A dish with humble beginnings, Shepherd’s Pie was originally a way for Irish families to make the most of their leftovers—layering minced lamb or beef with root vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes. Today, it’s a St. Patrick’s Day favorite, offering layers of rich, comforting goodness.
Looking for an easy, delicious way to enjoy this classic? Our chef-crafted Shepherd’s Pie is made from scratch with high-quality ingredients, ready for you to heat and serve.
Colcannon: Mashed Potatoes with a Twist
For a true taste of Ireland, try Colcannon, a creamy blend of mashed potatoes, butter, cream, and tender organic cabbage or kale. It’s rich, satisfying, and pairs perfectly with corned beef or Irish bangers.
