It's funny that so many Poles went to Ireland. When my Polish grandparents arrived in the US, they were kind of shunned by the Irish already here. Even though both groups, at that time were mostly Catholic, they each built their own churches. My Irish side of the family were dismayed that my mother married my Polish father. No matter to me, I can whip up some great Pierogi as well as Irish Soda bread.
I remember watching a great documentary on Detroit, the Irish and Polish put down their differences to fight a common plantation of their neighbourhoods, before it was destroyed by you know who.
Making Shepherds Pie tonight. We have Monday’s off so I made corned beef hash for breakfast with Irish coffees.
It’s been fun learning and celebrating with her family. They are American Irish. But her mom has kept records of the family and can somewhat speak Gaelic.
My wife is Irish. I am German/Nordic.
We celebrate St Patrick’s Day and Oktoberfest.
I'm one half Irish, and one half Polish. So Corned Beed and Pierogies it is!
Great combination, a lot of good poles found there way to Ireland. Great people, great fit.

Or was it Chicago, will see if I can find it.
I’m Irish, thousandth generation. My wife is Finnish, who I describe as “like the Irish, but with a drink problem”. 😀
Happy Paddy’s Day.
