And that felt strange.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At my family's Passover Seder, we use a Haggada written by my wife, Janie, that I love very much. But the part of it I know best is page 21. Because page 21 is where it says, \"Dinner is served.\" From the time we open that book I keep thinking, \"Please get me to page 21!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, I'm often eager to rush through the rituals. At Gentile Passover, I found myself missing them. It turns out those traditions mean more to me than I realized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the experience of watching people who aren't Jewish observe their version of customs I grew up with was in some ways strange and unsettling, it was also beautiful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wondered about what my great-grandparents, who came to America from Eastern Europe, would think if they saw me celebrating Passover with two Chinese-American Christians, a Chinese-born Muslim, a Sri Lankan-American, and two white European Christians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meal itself was fantastic. The matzo balls were just the right combo of soft on the outside and firm inside, and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.marthastewart.com/968091/haroset-braised-short-ribs\">short ribs braised in charoset\u003c/a> were savory and sweet, reaffirming my belief in their superiority over brisket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One key Passover tradition is that you're supposed to ask questions – big questions like \"What's the point of all this?\" After the meal I asked everyone, when we celebrate other people's holidays, what's gained and what's lost?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're trying to understand other cultures, but in doing that and changing it, you dilute them,\" says Charlene and Tiffany's friend Tim. \"A more pure and authentic Seder would be less accessible to me, who's not Jewish. So this is more accessible to me, but it also does change it. So there's a tension there. While it's very positive that we learn all these things, I can see why some people get worried that if you do that to the final degree, it ceases to exist as its own tradition and it becomes this amorphous globalized thing that doesn't really mean anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Something I've thought about for a long time is, How Chinese are my kids going to be?\" adds Tiffany. \"And the answer is, less than me. And I'm less than my parents. I'm going to marry a Sri Lankan man. My children are going to be Chinese and Sri Lankan, and very American at the same time. So there will be a dilution of our culture. That can feel like something you can mourn.

Because page 21 is where it says, \"Dinner is served.\" From the time we open that book I keep thinking, \"Please get me to page 21!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other words, I'm often eager to rush through the rituals. At Gentile Passover, I found myself missing them. It turns out those traditions mean more to me than I realized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the experience of watching people who aren't Jewish observe their version of customs I grew up with was in some ways strange and unsettling, it was also beautiful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wondered about what my great-grandparents, who came to America from Eastern Europe, would think if they saw me celebrating Passover with two Chinese-American Christians, a Chinese-born Muslim, a Sri Lankan-American, and two white European Christians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The meal itself was fantastic. The matzo balls were just the right combo of soft on the outside and firm inside, and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.marthastewart.com/968091/haroset-braised-short-ribs\">short ribs braised in charoset\u003c/a> were savory and sweet, reaffirming my belief in their superiority over brisket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One key Passover tradition is that you're supposed to ask questions – big questions like \"What's the point of all this?\" After the meal I asked everyone, when we celebrate other people's holidays, what's gained and what's lost?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're trying to understand other cultures, but in doing that and changing it, you dilute them,\" says Charlene and Tiffany's friend Tim. \"A more pure and authentic Seder would be less accessible to me, who's not Jewish. So this is more accessible to me, but it also does change it. So there's a tension there. While it's very positive that we learn all these things, I can see why some people get worried that if you do that to the final degree, it ceases to exist as its own tradition and it becomes this amorphous globalized thing that doesn't really mean anything.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Something I've thought about for a long time is, How Chinese are my kids going to be?\" adds Tiffany. \"And the answer is, less than me. And I'm less than my parents. I'm going to marry a Sri Lankan man. My children are going to be Chinese and Sri Lankan, and very American at the same time. So there will be a dilution of our culture. That can feel like something you can mourn. But then whatever we create from that may also be something new and exciting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Dan Pashman hosts the James Beard Award-nominated food podcast \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sporkful.com/\">\u003cem>The Sporkful\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, which this week features the episode \"Other People's Holidays.\" It's available in \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sporkful/id350709629\">\u003cem>Apple Podcasts\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/stitcher/the-sporkful\">\u003cem>Stitcher\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>, or wherever you listen.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/125803/when-other-cultures-holidays-become-an-excuse-to-party","authors":["byline_bayareabites_125803"],"categories":["bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_10028","bayareabites_1763","bayareabites_2035"],"tags":["bayareabites_957","bayareabites_2041","bayareabites_123"],"featImg":"bayareabites_125804","label":"source_bayareabites_125803"},"bayareabites_107767":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_107767","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"107767","score":null,"sort":[1458268692000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"guinness-tells-beer-drinkers-keep-your-head-and-embrace-the-stache","title":"Guinness Tells Beer Drinkers: Keep Your Head And Embrace The 'Stache","publishDate":1458268692,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cp>If you're planning to hoist a pint of Irish dry stout for St. Patrick's Day, the folks at Guinness have a polite request: Don't slurp the foamy head off their beer.

This holy trinity of meat, veg, and stout is the communion of St. Patrick's Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the history of that meal is relatively short, going back mainly to trade and immigration in the 18th and 19th centuries. Want to feast like St. Patrick would have celebrated more than 1,600 years ago? Let's party like it's 399.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, it's important to remember that Patrick wasn't born in Ireland, but in late 4th-century Britain, a period of great change. Anglo-Saxons from Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands were just moving in and beginning to push out the Mediterranean culture and cuisine of the Romans, who had occupied Britain for several centuries. That means a lot of different culinary influences from which to choose your menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick grew up in \"a high status, slave-owning Romano-British family,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.caitlingreen.org/\">Caitlin Green\u003c/a> of the University of Cambridge's Institute for Continuing Education. \"We would clearly expect him to have a very late Roman aristocratic lifestyle in his youth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think Mediterranean and French wines \"imported on a large scale,\" says Mark McKerracher, an archaeologist who blogs about Anglo-Saxon agriculture at \u003ca href=\"http://farmingunearthed.wordpress.com/\">Farming Unearthed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriander and dill, McKerracher says, were other \"Roman innovations\" that gave dishes Mediterranean flair, as were peas and early relatives of the broad bean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Green, game was also moving onto the menu. \"Very little of this was eaten in the Romano-British period in general,\" she says. \"But there is evidence for a greater consumption of venison and wild birds in the very late/post-Roman era.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a teenager, Patrick ended up in Ireland, one of the few European outposts Roman influence failed to reach. The popular story, told by Patrick in his \u003cem>Confessio\u003c/em>, is that he was stolen away by pirates and sold into slavery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cambridge University's \u003ca href=\"https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/was-st-patrick-a-slave-trading-roman-official-who-fled-to-ireland\">Roy Flechner\u003c/a> has suggested that Patrick was running away from the expectation that he would take over his father's official duties — and even that Patrick might have been the slave trader, rather than the slave. That changes whether we think he dined like an expat with a mild case of \u003cem>affluenza\u003c/em> or subsisted like an enslaved herdsman, as Patrick says in the \u003cem>Confessio.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way, without Roman influence, the cuisine of Ireland had its own style. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpbmCqLc0K8\">Regina Sexton\u003c/a>, food and culinary historian at University College Cork, tells us that the local diet was based largely on dairy and grain – especially oats. There were oatcakes, \"more like a hard bread or a cracker,\" and muesli-like mixtures of fruit, nuts, and oats. The thick cooking residue from oats might be made into sowens, \"a type of jelly.\" And oats were often cooked as oatmeals and gruels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a slave,\" says Sexton, gruels \"would be what Patrick ate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barley was mostly for making ale; wheat was reserved for the highest status of bread. So, if you celebrate Patrick the wealthy rather than Patrick the poor, swap your usual soda bread for a soft wheat loaf and add to the bill of fare English salt, imported wine, and more meat than the average Irish native would have experienced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the evidence for what the ancient Irish ate comes from the Brehon Laws, which covered everything from land rents to beekeeping, as well as marriage, divorce, and trespassing --\"all the things you would think would be of concern to agricultural communities,\" says Sexton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not surprisingly, Irish stories and legends make for more interesting reading than Irish laws. Even though they were written mostly in the 8th to 12th centuries, many of these tales throw open a window onto the world of upper-class feasts and foods of an earlier time, explains Ger Killeen, professor of Irish and Celtic literature at Marylhurst University in Portland, Ore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Vision of MacConglinne\u003c/em>, an anonymous parody of religious \"vision\" literature, imagines a castle made of food: \"New butter was the bridge ... bacon the palisade, the door was dry meat, the threshold was bare bread, and cheese curds the sides.\" And fine cream, fresh cheese and aged cheese served as mortar to hold up the house throughout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are only two foods that Patrick actually records eating, says Killeen. In his \u003cem>Confessio\u003c/em> tale of escape from Ireland, Patrick and those who aided him \"manage to survive on wild honey\" and deer, thanks to Patrick's prayers for hunting success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As history tells us, Patrick eventually returned to Ireland as a missionary and the religious figure we celebrate today. For a meal honoring his later years, Killeen suggests something simple: \"wheat bread, some kind of soft cheese, maybe flavored with garlic.\" And salmon, \"a highly esteemed foodstuff.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sexton seconds the salmon, along with other oily fish, and \"eels, trout, apples, hazelnuts, watercress, wild garlic.\" And cabbage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard to get away from cabbage, no matter which era or which Patrick you choose to celebrate. But you can always call on his Roman past with a little coriander and dill in the dressing. And whether you swap your stout for a light barley ale or a glass of red Italian Cesanese, trade the corned beef for some estimable salmon, or make a castle out of Cashel blue cheese, Ireland's signature brassica will be at home on any of these menus honoring Ireland's national saint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Anne Bramley is an independent scholar who is the author of Eat Feed Autumn Winter.

This holy trinity of meat, veg, and stout is the communion of St. Patrick's Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the history of that meal is relatively short, going back mainly to trade and immigration in the 18th and 19th centuries. Want to feast like St. Patrick would have celebrated more than 1,600 years ago? Let's party like it's 399.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, it's important to remember that Patrick wasn't born in Ireland, but in late 4th-century Britain, a period of great change. Anglo-Saxons from Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands were just moving in and beginning to push out the Mediterranean culture and cuisine of the Romans, who had occupied Britain for several centuries. That means a lot of different culinary influences from which to choose your menu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick grew up in \"a high status, slave-owning Romano-British family,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.caitlingreen.org/\">Caitlin Green\u003c/a> of the University of Cambridge's Institute for Continuing Education. \"We would clearly expect him to have a very late Roman aristocratic lifestyle in his youth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think Mediterranean and French wines \"imported on a large scale,\" says Mark McKerracher, an archaeologist who blogs about Anglo-Saxon agriculture at \u003ca href=\"http://farmingunearthed.wordpress.com/\">Farming Unearthed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coriander and dill, McKerracher says, were other \"Roman innovations\" that gave dishes Mediterranean flair, as were peas and early relatives of the broad bean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Green, game was also moving onto the menu. \"Very little of this was eaten in the Romano-British period in general,\" she says. \"But there is evidence for a greater consumption of venison and wild birds in the very late/post-Roman era.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a teenager, Patrick ended up in Ireland, one of the few European outposts Roman influence failed to reach. The popular story, told by Patrick in his \u003cem>Confessio\u003c/em>, is that he was stolen away by pirates and sold into slavery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cambridge University's \u003ca href=\"https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/was-st-patrick-a-slave-trading-roman-official-who-fled-to-ireland\">Roy Flechner\u003c/a> has suggested that Patrick was running away from the expectation that he would take over his father's official duties — and even that Patrick might have been the slave trader, rather than the slave. That changes whether we think he dined like an expat with a mild case of \u003cem>affluenza\u003c/em> or subsisted like an enslaved herdsman, as Patrick says in the \u003cem>Confessio.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either way, without Roman influence, the cuisine of Ireland had its own style. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpbmCqLc0K8\">Regina Sexton\u003c/a>, food and culinary historian at University College Cork, tells us that the local diet was based largely on dairy and grain – especially oats. There were oatcakes, \"more like a hard bread or a cracker,\" and muesli-like mixtures of fruit, nuts, and oats. The thick cooking residue from oats might be made into sowens, \"a type of jelly.\" And oats were often cooked as oatmeals and gruels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As a slave,\" says Sexton, gruels \"would be what Patrick ate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barley was mostly for making ale; wheat was reserved for the highest status of bread. So, if you celebrate Patrick the wealthy rather than Patrick the poor, swap your usual soda bread for a soft wheat loaf and add to the bill of fare English salt, imported wine, and more meat than the average Irish native would have experienced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the evidence for what the ancient Irish ate comes from the Brehon Laws, which covered everything from land rents to beekeeping, as well as marriage, divorce, and trespassing --\"all the things you would think would be of concern to agricultural communities,\" says Sexton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not surprisingly, Irish stories and legends make for more interesting reading than Irish laws. Even though they were written mostly in the 8th to 12th centuries, many of these tales throw open a window onto the world of upper-class feasts and foods of an earlier time, explains Ger Killeen, professor of Irish and Celtic literature at Marylhurst University in Portland, Ore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Vision of MacConglinne\u003c/em>, an anonymous parody of religious \"vision\" literature, imagines a castle made of food: \"New butter was the bridge ... bacon the palisade, the door was dry meat, the threshold was bare bread, and cheese curds the sides.\" And fine cream, fresh cheese and aged cheese served as mortar to hold up the house throughout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are only two foods that Patrick actually records eating, says Killeen. In his \u003cem>Confessio\u003c/em> tale of escape from Ireland, Patrick and those who aided him \"manage to survive on wild honey\" and deer, thanks to Patrick's prayers for hunting success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As history tells us, Patrick eventually returned to Ireland as a missionary and the religious figure we celebrate today. For a meal honoring his later years, Killeen suggests something simple: \"wheat bread, some kind of soft cheese, maybe flavored with garlic.\" And salmon, \"a highly esteemed foodstuff.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sexton seconds the salmon, along with other oily fish, and \"eels, trout, apples, hazelnuts, watercress, wild garlic.\" And cabbage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's hard to get away from cabbage, no matter which era or which Patrick you choose to celebrate. But you can always call on his Roman past with a little coriander and dill in the dressing. And whether you swap your stout for a light barley ale or a glass of red Italian Cesanese, trade the corned beef for some estimable salmon, or make a castle out of Cashel blue cheese, Ireland's signature brassica will be at home on any of these menus honoring Ireland's national saint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Anne Bramley is an independent scholar who is the author of Eat Feed Autumn Winter.

After the first and second rise, the dough is turned out onto a flour surface. Personally, I flour the dough generously in order to easily handle it while shaping the 24 blaa dough buns. The blaas receive another sifting of flour when they are left to rise in their bun shapes, and floured once more before hitting the oven. The plentiful flouring at each of these stages gives the blaa a distinctive floury finish - and also serves as a protection during baking. Fillings are typically added after the blaa is taken out of the oven - as soon as possible!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news for the clumsy baker is that blaas are not typically uniform in shape and size. While the recipe for the blaa is quite simple, the key ingredient is patience: Blaa dough is left to rise for a total of up to four and a half hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is it really blaa if you eat it outside of Waterford? That's a crumb of contention. Some of the Waterford bakeries distribute their frozen blaas internationally, but Hickey's bakery will only sell to local stores. Because there are no preservatives added to the blaa, it's ideally eaten on the day its baked. Martin O'Dwyer, a consultant chef who previously ran a restaurant in Waterford, and now runs a \u003ca href=\"http://www.lepresbytere.net/\" target=\"_blank\">B&B\u003c/a> in France, remembers the reverence with which his former coworkers in Waterford approached the morning blaa break at half-past ten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A trusted member of staff would be sent to the bakery for the blaas — not a moment sooner, or they might be given blaas from the first baking rather than the second bake,\" O'Dwyer says. \"These, after two hours were deemed 'stale.'\u003cstrong> \"\u003c/strong>Then there would be the various personal preferences: Well done, soft, floury or \"not too brown,\" he recalls. \"They were eaten then mainly just with lots of salted Irish butter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biddy White Lennon, a founding member of the Irish Food Writers guild and former judge on the reality cooking television show \u003cem>The Great Irish Bake Off\u003c/em>, included the blaa in her \u003cem>Best of Irish Baking\u003c/em> book.

It's believed a Huguenot baker baked the first blaa to use leftover dough, or \u003cem>blaad. \u003c/em>(Other stories have blaa deriving from the French \u003cem>blanc\u003c/em>, for white.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_107730\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 700px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/sausage-blaa.jpg\" alt=\"Fillings like this sausage are typically added after the blaa is taken out of the oven — as soon as possible!\" width=\"700\" height=\"465\" class=\"size-full wp-image-107730\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/sausage-blaa.jpg 700w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/sausage-blaa-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fillings like this sausage are typically added after the blaa is taken out of the oven — as soon as possible! \u003ccite>(Elizabeth Rushe for NPR )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What distinguishes the blaa from your average roll is an abundant use of flour throughout the the baking process. After the first and second rise, the dough is turned out onto a flour surface. Personally, I flour the dough generously in order to easily handle it while shaping the 24 blaa dough buns. The blaas receive another sifting of flour when they are left to rise in their bun shapes, and floured once more before hitting the oven. The plentiful flouring at each of these stages gives the blaa a distinctive floury finish - and also serves as a protection during baking. Fillings are typically added after the blaa is taken out of the oven - as soon as possible!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The good news for the clumsy baker is that blaas are not typically uniform in shape and size. While the recipe for the blaa is quite simple, the key ingredient is patience: Blaa dough is left to rise for a total of up to four and a half hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is it really blaa if you eat it outside of Waterford? That's a crumb of contention. Some of the Waterford bakeries distribute their frozen blaas internationally, but Hickey's bakery will only sell to local stores. Because there are no preservatives added to the blaa, it's ideally eaten on the day its baked. Martin O'Dwyer, a consultant chef who previously ran a restaurant in Waterford, and now runs a \u003ca href=\"http://www.lepresbytere.net/\" target=\"_blank\">B&B\u003c/a> in France, remembers the reverence with which his former coworkers in Waterford approached the morning blaa break at half-past ten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A trusted member of staff would be sent to the bakery for the blaas — not a moment sooner, or they might be given blaas from the first baking rather than the second bake,\" O'Dwyer says. \"These, after two hours were deemed 'stale.'\u003cstrong> \"\u003c/strong>Then there would be the various personal preferences: Well done, soft, floury or \"not too brown,\" he recalls. \"They were eaten then mainly just with lots of salted Irish butter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biddy White Lennon, a founding member of the Irish Food Writers guild and former judge on the reality cooking television show \u003cem>The Great Irish Bake Off\u003c/em>, included the blaa in her \u003cem>Best of Irish Baking\u003c/em> book.

So what to do if you want a taste of the Emerald Isle on St. Patrick's Day? Instead of green, maybe look for yellow — a pat of Irish butter. Although most Americans are familiar with images of Ireland's rolling green hills, few realize that those hills are the secret to a deliciously buttery empire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It goes back to the Emerald Isle,\" explains \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ifj_pat\">Pat O'Keeffe\u003c/a>, deputy editor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.farmersjournal.ie/\">Irish Farmers Journal\u003c/a>. \"The green land is our competitive advantage.

(A small number — O'Keeffe estimates 10 percent — are milked year-round for drinking, or fluid, milk, but butter's the real business.) Grass-fed milk produces a rich butter, yellow with natural beta carotene. The polyunsaturated fats in fresh grass also make for pats that are softer than those from hay or grain — all the better for spreading across your scone. Like most European dairy, Irish cream also has a higher butterfat content, creating soft butter with a richer mouthfeel.

(The company says it's now the No. 4 butter in the U.S.) And the country's EU membership in the following decades brought with it milk subsidies, laying the bedrock for increased dairy production (and even overproduction, leading to established quotas). Later fears of saturated fats hit the Irish butter industry, as they did all dairy, but \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/02/12/275376259/the-full-fat-paradox-whole-milk-may-keep-us-lean\">recent data\u003c/a> seems to be moving consumers beyond those margarine moments, and back to the full, sunny swipe of butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of the science — or alleged science — has changed,\" notes O'Keeffe.

So what to do if you want a taste of the Emerald Isle on St. Patrick's Day? Instead of green, maybe look for yellow — a pat of Irish butter. Although most Americans are familiar with images of Ireland's rolling green hills, few realize that those hills are the secret to a deliciously buttery empire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It goes back to the Emerald Isle,\" explains \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ifj_pat\">Pat O'Keeffe\u003c/a>, deputy editor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.farmersjournal.ie/\">Irish Farmers Journal\u003c/a>. \"The green land is our competitive advantage. Those rolling green hills are great for growing grass. You need frequent and regular rainfall, and we've got plenty of that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The actual Irish cows themselves aren't that different from their American counterparts — in both countries, over 90 percent of milkers are Holstein-Friesians, those iconic black-and-whites. What it comes down to is what the cows are eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Irish cows graze on those temperate hills from March to October, and are only milked during those months. (A small number — O'Keeffe estimates 10 percent — are milked year-round for drinking, or fluid, milk, but butter's the real business.) Grass-fed milk produces a rich butter, yellow with natural beta carotene. The polyunsaturated fats in fresh grass also make for pats that are softer than those from hay or grain — all the better for spreading across your scone. Like most European dairy, Irish cream also has a higher butterfat content, creating soft butter with a richer mouthfeel.

Scholars speculate that the butter was either a high-value offering, buried ritualistically, or else a foodstuff stored in the bog as a primitive refrigeration technique.

With the centrifuge-like mechanical separator, that wait time is eliminated. Unfortunately, Irish farmers were late adopters; by the time they mechanized, the industry was 20 years behind. By the early 20th century, the Cork Butter Market had closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But luckily for lovers of good Irish butter, its grass-fed richness has made a comeback. Farms banded together to form the \u003ca href=\"http://kerrygoldusa.com/heritage/irish-dairy-board/\">Irish Dairy Board\u003c/a> in 1961, which developed the popular Kerrygold Irish butter. (The company says it's now the No. 4 butter in the U.S.) And the country's EU membership in the following decades brought with it milk subsidies, laying the bedrock for increased dairy production (and even overproduction, leading to established quotas). Later fears of saturated fats hit the Irish butter industry, as they did all dairy, but \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2014/02/12/275376259/the-full-fat-paradox-whole-milk-may-keep-us-lean\">recent data\u003c/a> seems to be moving consumers beyond those margarine moments, and back to the full, sunny swipe of butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of the science — or alleged science — has changed,\" notes O'Keeffe. But like a good Irishman, he was never swayed. \"It was always a good product. Butter today is still as good as it was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with the 30-year-old EU dairy quotas set to expire on April 1, this product could be on the brink of a new buttery era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2015 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/94059/to-eat-authentically-irish-this-st-patricks-day-go-for-the-butter","authors":["byline_bayareabites_94059"],"categories":["bayareabites_2090","bayareabites_1763","bayareabites_10916"],"tags":["bayareabites_1288","bayareabites_16272","bayareabites_123"],"featImg":"bayareabites_94060","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_93948":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_93948","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"93948","score":null,"sort":[1426549656000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"easy-to-make-for-st-patricks-day-irish-soda-bread-with-currants-and-orange-zest","title":"Easy to Make for St. Patrick’s Day: Irish Soda Bread with Currants and Orange Zest","publishDate":1426549656,"format":"aside","headTitle":"Our Top 10 Recipes From 2015 | Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{"term":15149,"site":"bayareabites"},"content":"\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94011\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/irish-soda-bread-final.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-94011\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/irish-soda-bread-final.jpg\" alt=\"Irish-American Soda Bread with Currants and Orange Zest.

During medieval times, liquor acted as a preservative in baked goods such as English fruitcake. In the U.S., the colonists used alcohol liberally when creating sweet dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Brandy is all over the first American cookbook by Amelia Simmons,\" writes Michael Krondl, author of \u003cem>Sweet Invention\u003c/em>: \u003cem>A History of Dessert,\u003c/em> in an email.

Recently, though, desserts made with spirits have experienced a revival, perhaps mirroring the recent cocktails renaissance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Europeans have long embraced the idea of alcohol as an essential dessert ingredient. In Italy, there's \u003ca href=\"http://tavolatalk.com/2013/panbriacone-italys-drunken-sweet-bread/#!\">the dome-shaped Italian sweet bread, panettone\u003c/a>, injected with sweet wine or rum. The French have small rum-soaked yeast cakes, \u003cem>baba au rhum,\u003c/em> which Krondl says were probably introduced to France by a Polish king. Then there's the decadent German \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveur.com/article/kitchen/saveur-100-black-forest-cake\">Black Forest cake\u003c/a>, constructed from layers of chocolate sponge cake, whipped cream, sour cherries and kirsch (cherry brandy).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, does alcohol burn off when you cook or bake it? Not completely. But a cake likely retains more spirits than, say, a sauce does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I would think that whatever alcohol is lost in baking is considerably less than what is lost when you boil or flame alcohol in cooking,\" writes Dorrie Greenspan, the author of \u003cem>Baking: From My Home to Yours\u003c/em>, in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want the flavor of spirits but not the buzz, try extracts, which contain little or no alcohol.
