St. Patrick’s Day Feast
7 Irish-flavored foods to celebrate the holiday – and lucky for us, they all include honey
You might think that a leprechaun’s favorite food is a lucky cereal. Not so. That’s just make-believe kiddie fodder for TV. In real life, ask any leprechaun and they will tell you: Their favorite food is honey. And not just any honey. Four out of five leprechauns prefer SUE BEE® honey over regular honeys.
That pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? It’s a pot of gold, all right – one filled with sweet, golden honey.
But you don’t have to chase rainbows this St. Patrick’s Day to celebrate with SUE BEE® honey or AUNT SUE’S® Raw & Unfiltered Honey.
