New England Yankees call it a boiled dinner.

When I was growing up my mother cooked it every St. Patrick's Day and I never cared for it. When I was 10 and I saw the big pot boiling March 17, I shocked my mother by making spaghetti.

The 99, a mostly-in-New-England restaurant chain, has it on their menu today.

Years ago I and a friend headed into Boston on St Patrick’s Day and we wanted to go to the Black Rose (my brother in law’s family, the Sweeneys, ran it) but when we got there we found there was no food, only music and dancing. So instead we went to the North End and celebrated the day of the Irish by having pizza at the (now gone) European! (I believe the North End was orig. an Irish enclave...home at one time to the Kennedys and the Bulgers.)

My dh’s family usually ate corned beef and cabbage around St. Patrick’s Day, Scot there, not Irish. I don’t like the corned beef at all and prefer regular beef for my New England dinner.
