What to Eat and Drink:

“If you believe the popular tales, more new American foods were invented at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, than during any other single event in history. The list includes the hamburger, the hot dog, peanut butter, iced tea, the club sandwich, cotton candy, and the ice cream cone, to name just a few.”

As you cozy up to watch Meet Me in St. Louis, enjoy these Irish spins on foods from the 1904 World’s Fair:
