WATCH: This ‘Irish stew’ creation for St Patrick’s Day is an abomination

Why? Just, why?

At this stage we're used to the cheesy marketing and creations that surround St Patrick's Day and it's easier easy to let these things go by unchallenged. We're not at the point where we won't correct anyone who says "St Patty's Day" - and never will be - but we're a little bit more reserved about it all. But there's a lot of problems with the below creation from the Chefclub Network, a popular cooking channel on social media. It said this Cabbage Head Stew is the "perfect warm and cozy dish just in time for St Paddy's Day". The stew itself has plenty of the standard ingredients of meat and veg, while there's also the addition of entire heads of cabbage on top of pastry and liberal amounts of cheddar cheese. https://twitter.com/ChefclubNetwork/status/1369415465521582083

In fairness, we can see how it might be described as warm and cozy alright. The same way you might be warm and cozy in bed just moments before a Dublin landlord kicks down your door, puts twin bunkbeds in your room and doubles your rent. We really weren't sure where this video was going when it started, but we're not happy about the destination. https://twitter.com/ManOnThe100/status/1369440285445459972 Was this a premeditated attack? https://twitter.com/riainceol/status/1369457112468840455 Our poor President. https://twitter.com/emmaphickey/status/1369454514416324611 We thought the coddle wars had finished. https://twitter.com/CaorthannAonair/status/1369427708824915973 As we click play for the 11th time. https://twitter.com/kornliketheband/status/1369419882153009153
