We’re having a little St. Patrick’s Day thing at work, and everyone needs to bring in green food. Can you help?
Guacamole
Enchiladas covered in green sauce? For you Mex-Irish dopers.
Guacamole’s just a dip. Hmm?
Boy, I just don’t eat enough. I’m out except for a jello desert but I don’t really want to suggest that.
Umm, I didn’t see StGermain’s post.
Broccoli.
Kermit the Frog. 
Green food dye works wonders.
Since it’s a work gathering, you may want something easy such as dip (dyed green!) or maybe deviled eggs, with green yolks.
Maybe a veggie tray?
If you want genuinely green food:
green beans
salads
zuccinni
cucumbers
bell peppers
peas
avacados
green onions
greens (turnip, mustard, etc)
pesto
spinich pasta
spinich tortillas (maybe make some tortilla rolls?)
Broccoli
Cabbage
Snow peas
Celery
Spinach
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Pistachio Pudding
Green grapes
Lime hard candies
That mysterious container in the back of the fridge…
I hate the whole “It’s St. Patrick’s Day, everything’s got to be green” mentality. I mean, why not have everyone bring Irish food? So you might get a little culture, instead of just green cookies, which will only give you a fat ass.

To that end, the food I am suggesting is not really green, although there is cabbage in it, and if you put as much cabbage as is suggested in some recipes, it will be green. It’s called colcannon, and it’s basically mashed potatoes and cabbage and onions. There’s several different recipes, but the main difference is cabbage vs. kale, and I think they’re related, so I don’t know what the difference is. They can be substituted for each other, at any rate. Here’s a site with lots of Irish recipes, including colcannon. It calls for kale, but like I said, I don’t know what the difference is, I always use cabbage.
There are some other recipes on that site, haven’t checked them out, but I would definitely go for a real Irish food instead of just something green. The guy who brought guacamole will think you are really cool.
We have a very apathetic group here. No one is going to go to any real effort to do Irish foods (which was our first idea). With that attitude, they all deserve the fat asses they’ll be sporting by Easter. It will be more of a grazing activity.
Japanese green-pea snack (at your local Asian foods store)
Really old cheese.
Even older meat.
Lima bean smoothies.
Think of using lettuce leaves to wrap things, or for smaller items basil or spinnach leaves.
Maybe motzarella wrapped in proscutio wrapped in basil leaves, with cocktail skewers to hold it together, and a green olive also on the skewer.
Eggs and Ham.
Curried Pea Soup
1 or 2 leeks
1 pint chicken stock
1 or 2 potato, peeled & diced
to taste curry powder
to taste white pepper or hot sauce of choice
1 packet frozen peas
yogurt/cream/sour cream
Slice the leek, using only about 2 inches of the green stalk, and wash well in a bowl or sink full of water.
Drain. Combine the leek, chicken stock and potato in a medium saucepan with a lid. Add the curry powder and pepper/hot sauce. Cover, bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the leek and potato are cooked and soft.
Add peas; cook 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Scoop out some peas that are whole. Place soup in blender. Blend until smooth, add whole peas, return to saucepan.
Lightly stir in yogurt/cream/sour cream when serving.
Curry powder should be whatever curry flavourings you have . I have many jars of Patak’s Curry Paste. For this recipe I use the mild Curry paste and Kashmiri masala which adds a garlic flavour.
Sorry I’m not post count padding here. I forgot to mention that you can serve the soup cold. It is really, really good with toasted French bread and hot grilled ham or bacon.
Odwalla Superfood. It contains spirulina, which gives it this disturbing “I just scooped this out of a swamp” green color. I wish there was a picture on that site.
Also, try to find some green tea ice cream. This is also a rather unsettling shade of matte green, but it’s high in antioxidants and has the added benefit of tasting really weird.
I saw this in a food magazine a while ago, it’s not my own idea.
Use an old fish bowl, one of the old-fashioned rounded ones. Boil or otherwise sanitize little boats, skeletons, and chests of gold.
Place the toys in the fish bowl and make a ton of green jello. Pour the jello over the toys, and float/sink a few pieces of lettuce or other green leafy stuff in it to look like seaweed.
If you had a little model of the Titanic, it would be perfect
