St. Patrick’s High Tea Utica NY

St. Patrick’s High Tea in Utica NY will be celebrated to honor a great Irish saint. St. Patrick was born in Britain about 390 AD. At about the age of sixteen, he was captured by pirates and carried off as a slave to Ireland. After six years he had a vision he would return home. During his captivity he became deeply religious. He escaped and eventually returned home to Britain, became a priest and returned to Ireland to minister Christianity to the people there. He is reported to have died on March 17, AD 493. He is widely venerated in Ireland and around the world today as a Saint.

Did you know that in the United States, Colonial New York City hosted the first official St. Patrick’s Day parade in 1762? Irish immigrants in the British colonial army marched down city streets for the very first St. Patrick’s Day Parade. In later years Irish organizations held parades that ended at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. These and other Irish groups merged around 1850 to form a single huge parade.

Guinness Stout, first brewed by Arthur Guinness in Dublin, Ireland, in 1759, has become synonymous with Ireland and Irish bars. According to the company’s Web site, 1.9 billion pints of Guinness are consumed around the world every year.

Trenton Teas is featuring Guinness in our cuisine at our St. Patrick’s High Tea in Utica NY. We hope to see you there to help us celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

Colcannon by Mary Black

Well did you ever make colcannon,
made with lovely pickled cream
With the greens & scallions mingled
like a pitcher in a dream
Did you ever make a hole on top
to hold the meltin’ flake
Or the creamy flavoured butter
that our mother’s used to make

Refrain:

Oh you did, so you did
so did he and so did I
And the more I think about it
sure the nearer I’m to cry
Oh weren’t them the happy days
when troubles we knew not
And or mother made colcannon
in the little skillet pot

Well, did you ever take potatoe cake
and boxty to the school
Tucked underneath your oxter with
your books, your slate and rule
And when teacher wasn’t looking’
sure a great big bite you’d take
Of the creamy flavoured soft and meltin’
sweet potatoe cake

Refrain:

Well did you ever go a courtin’ boys
when the evenin’ sun went down
And the moon began a peepin’
from behind the Hill O’ Down
And you wandered down the boreen
where the clúrachán was seen
And you whispered lovin’ praises to
your own dear sweet cáilín

Refrain:
