Are corned beef, potatoes, and soda bread common foods in Ireland? We grew up having that every St. Patty's day. Just curious how authentic it really is.

The main three food groups in Ireland are Guinness, Jamesons, and Murphys from what I remember of visits.
Oh yes, and Bull Sh*t, known locally as "Blarney".

You missed out Beamish and Bushmills! Oh and Paddy's. Poitin is missing too.
And some tea. You'll have some tea, go on. Ya will, you'll have some tea, go on, go on, go on. Ya will.
Etc, etc, etc.

I couldn't find any Tulamore Dew yesterday, so I had to make do with half a bottle of Jameson's. It's not bad really, if chased with scotch. 
Will Rogers never met me.

Really? Asking "Any Irish natives out there?" in St. Patrick's day?
Of course they are out there... having "party" and some drinks with friends and family. I think you should have asked it other day... probably you would have got more answers than today

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Corned Beef is just Black Pudding for people who haven't the guts...
Also - "Paddies" or "St Patrick's"...

May the wind at your back not be a result of that corned beef and cabbage.

Ya, it's pretty funny what some people will focus on.

The English have infected Irish potatoes with famine. Thought that was common knowledge.
That's why we have the real Ira and before that the fake Ira.

I remember working with a black gentleman named Willis O. Webb in Washington, DC.
On St Patrick's Day, he wore a button that said, "Kiss me, I'm Irish".
Pointing at the button, I gave him a quizzical look.
He grinned and said, "The name is O'Webb."

I had a recruiter who called me yesterday with a position that didn't sound that interesting based on location and I tried to tell him no thanks but he kept pushing. So to end the call I countered his salary requirements and added an extra $30k to it.
He said they couldn't match that salary and I told him that was unfortunate. Call Ended.
Recruiter calls back later in the day as I am heading out and is now willing to meet salary request. I told him to email me details and that I would get back to him.
This morning I have had over 6 calls and various emails from him. This guy just won't take No.

Add another $30k, see how far he'll go..
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

No, wife and I already agreed that international jobs would have to come from Europe.

 That's about 2500k a month. I would seriously consider it.

Insist on $10K up front, and if he's dumb enough to do it, cash the money, and don't show up.
He might still call you, but it won't be to present you with more offers...

Perhaps because you didn't say "no" - you said "yes for extra $30k"
