i am a classic american mish mosh…on my father’s side i am german and norwegian and on my mother’s side i am english, irish, scottish and i don’t know what else. i am unclear on the percentages (i have never done “23 and me”) so i am not sure how MUCH irish i have. i know i have enough for pink skin that burns easily and does NOT tan, but not enough to like soda bread with raisins (WHY add raisins?) or corned beef and cabbage (smelly!) my mother loves those things so i know she has just enough irish to tip her into that food palette.
