šŸ€ The Faerie Banquet: A St. Patrick’s Day Feast Like No Other šŸ€

A meal fit for those who dare to dine with the Fae… but be warned, not all who feast may leave unchanged.

šŸ½ The Menu šŸ½

1ļøāƒ£ The Trickster’s Bread – Soda Bread with Enchanted Honey Butter

  • A golden-crusted soda bread, served with "enchanted" butter—a rich honey-butter infused with a touch of sea salt and fresh thyme.

  • Inspired by the mischievous leprechauns, whose gold is as fleeting as warm bread on a table.

2ļøāƒ£ The Banshee’s Cry – Emerald Soup of Whispers

  • A vibrant green leek and potato soup, infused with hints of white pepper and cream.

  • Served with a swirl of chive oil, resembling the mists that hide the Banshee’s presence.

3ļøāƒ£ The Warrior’s Reward – Fiery Whiskey-Glazed Salmon

  • Fresh salmon, seared with a sweet and smoky whiskey glaze, served over a bed of wilted greens.

  • A nod to Fionn MacCumhaill, the great warrior who gained wisdom from the Salmon of Knowledge.

4ļøāƒ£ The Faerie Ring – Colcannon Croquettes

  • Mashed potatoes mixed with butter, cabbage, and scallions, formed into crispy golden croquettes.

  • Legend has it that faeries dance in rings of mushrooms—this dish is shaped like small golden circles, hinting at the fae’s mischief.

5ļøāƒ£ The Gold at the End – Mystical Apple Tart with Clover Honey Drizzle

  • A warm apple tart, drizzled with clover honey and spiced with nutmeg and cinnamon.

  • Representing the pot of gold that may be found… if you are lucky.

šŸµ The Drink of the Night: The Druid’s Elixir

  • A bright green cocktail (or mocktail!)Ā that seems to shimmer like faerie gold in the firelight.

  • šŸ€ Option 1 (Cocktail): Midori, Irish whiskey, a splash of ginger beer, and a twist of lime.

  • šŸ€ Option 2 (Mocktail): Fresh cucumber juice, lime, honey syrup, and sparkling water—served with a sprig of mint.

  • A drink that glows like the light of a will-o’-the-wisp, drawing the unwary deeper into the woods…


šŸŒ™ The Legend Behind the Meal šŸŒ™

As the guests eat, the story unfolds. Will they dine in peace, or have they unknowingly accepted a faerie bargain? A coin is placed beneath one plate—whoever finds it must make a choice: keep it for fortune or return it for favor? The feast ends… but what happens next? That’s a story for another night.
