Shamrock cookies are over. Okay, not really. But what other green grub does Tampa Bay have to offer?

We have some suggestions for some less-than-traditional St. Pat’s day fare. Be our guest, put these dishes to the test — sorry:

  • Luck of the Irish ice cream at Chill Bros.
  • Ericka’s Spicy Collard Greens at Al’s Finger Licking Good Bar-B-Que & Soul Food
  • Pesto pasta or dill potato salad at Wright’s Gourmet House
  • Fried green tomato “BLT” or shaved Brussels sprouts at Ulele
  • Mint chocolate chip ice cream at Larry’s
  • Irish Cream Matcha at The Perfect Press Coffee Co.

But if you really do want to indulge in some classic Irish fare, consider:

  • Corned Beef & Cabbage at Mary Margaret’s Olde Irish Tavern
  • Colcannon at The Rolling Irishman
