"traditional Irish" food

All of Cleveland area Irish Fest's that I have gone to had NO Irish food.
Pizza, brats, sausage sand w/ peppers and onions, more pizza and lemonaid.
I won't go to another Irish Fest again, not here at least.

The Minnesota one does have some things which I recognize as Irish
food. Plus some which might be Irish, but I don't think are
traditional.

Don't feel bad. I tried to find colcannon when I was in Dublin and
found out "nobody" eats it anymore.

I wonder if it's available in the US.

Actually, I didn't feel bad; amused, rather.

"Potatoes aren't."

Yesterday I flew in from Cleveland. Sunday morning, I treated a group of
30 people to breakfast in a supermarket. Yes, a supermarket! The
restaurant was their choice, I had never been there before, and I have
never eaten in a supermarket. The food was very good, I tried a dish
called "mush", which is made from cornmeal and you eat it with syrup and
butter.

Buehler's supermarket (in Medina), was different than any supermarket I
have seen. The diner was large enough to feed 100 people, the
supermarket also had a bakery, floral department, sushi bar, deli,
catering, a cooking school, pharmacy, photo lab, and an Ace hardware
store. http://www.buehlers.com/

When you check out at the supermarket, your groceries are placed in
plastic bins, then they are placed on a conveyer. You pull your car up
to the front of the store and they place the groceries in the trunk of
your car.

If you are in the Cleveland area, have a look at Buehler's.

And if you visit a Buehler's in Illinois, Indiana or Kentucky - it's a
different company and not as described earlier in this thread. Not bad,
just not what you have read about here.

Thanks for the info. Have you ever seen or heard of a supermarket with
conveyer belts that deliver the groceries to your car? It was the most
unexpected thing I have seen in a long while. I wonder if this is new
or if this is happening in other areas of the country.

Many years ago, 20-25, in the St. Louis area, there was a grocery affilliate
with the Venture discount stores (now defunct, former competitor of Target)
that did something similar. As I recall, when you checked out you did not
get your groceries right away; you departed the store, drove your car around
to a side portico where your groceries were delivered and you received
assistance loading them. I don't recall how the groceries moved from
checkout to portico; but, don't recall a conveyor belt. Regardless, the
grocery didn't last long; St. Louis has always been a very competitive
market, with local chains driving out the all other general grocers.

We moved around when I was a child, and my mother had to experience new
and different markets each time we moved. The brands were different and
some cuts of meat had different names, depending on where you lived.
When you move, it is an experience. Shopping in different countries is
also unique, but interesting. Buying eggs, and the carton had no lid,
for example. I bought pork in Jamaica, and they had to lift the pig out
of a drum, using a winch. They cut off the piece I wanted, then lowered
the pig back into the drum. It was different.
