Perhaps the name Rose Kennedy, and the attendant heritage, is wasted on me. I had never heard of The Great Guinness Toast, and here it is already the 18th annual one, Feb. 19, and our own ![Great Guinness Toast[1].jpg](http://blogs.metropulse.com/fearless_foodie/assets_c/2010/02/Great Guinness Toast[1]-thumb-400x517-12616.jpg)
Irish Times Pub shall be participating.
Irish Times Pub shall be participating. According to the Guinness folks, here's what I've been missing all these years:
"...That's exactly what those great guys at Guinness have done with The Great Guinness Toast. Sometimes known as 'St. Practice Day', made up of Guinness drinkers across the country trying to break the record for the largest simultaneous toast. Since it's inception in 1993 Pittsburgh, The Great Guinness Toast has consistently grown, and breaks its own record each and every year.
The concept of collectively raising a glass on the 3rd Friday in February and toasting with the famous black and creamy brew is an attempt to gain entrance into one of Arthur Guinness' other select clubs; The Guinness Book of World Records."
Cheers to all you Irish, and wannabes, and those who are merely tolerant of the Emerald Isle offspring. See you again next month...
