<title>Día de San Patricio (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Anyone know if a traditional St. Patrick's Day dinner is available anywhere?</p>
</blockquote><p>No, I don't believe there is any such meal available here for various reasons, but maybe someone will prove me wrong.</p>
<p><strong>Día de San Patricio</strong> is a much different day in Mexico than in the USA, though U.S. <em>mercadotecnia</em> is doing its best to try to homogenize it here, mostly in the bigger cities, so that it's a day of big liquor sales as it is in the U.S. </p>
<p>Here it's more a day to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice made by incredibly brave Irishmen and others known as the <em><strong>Batallón de San Patricio</strong></em> who fought WITH the Mexicans AGAINST the U.S. invaders during the inappropriately named Mexican-American War from 1846 to 1848.</p>
<p>So while you're celebrating your traditional way, please take a moment to honor these incredibly brave men and women who gave their lives for our beloved Mexico.</p>
