Please enjoy this update from Dr. Yudkoff and her International Club: students!
The International Club celebrated St. Patrick's Day with a hearty, homemade Irish Shepherd's Pie prepared by club advisor Dr. Yudkoff. Shepherd's Pie dates back to the late 18th century in Ireland and Scotland, where it emerged as an economical meal among rural, working-class families. Lamb and mutton were the meats most available to shepherds — hence the name — and leftover cooked meat was topped with mashed potatoes, which had become a staple crop in Ireland. As the dish traveled to England, it evolved into what the British call Cottage Pie — nearly identical, but made with minced beef rather than lamb. Today the distinction is simple: Shepherd's Pie uses lamb, Cottage Pie uses beef. Both versions have since become cornerstones of British and Irish comfort food — a perfect choice to mark St. Patrick's Day and a tradition that has warmed kitchens for over two centuries.

Then the students had the opportunity to present their project to the other grades and teachers and share all they learned. It was a fun winter project that the students really enjoyed! to see more pictures, head over to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HoosickFallsCentral
