10 best St Patrick’s Day mail-order food treats this year

1. Irish Soda Bread from Zingerman’s

The beloved Michigan spot is perhaps best known for their mail-order breads – and that’s why we can’t wait for a mouthful of their Irish Soda Bread.

This is a special bake, available only in honor of the holiday, so order while you still can. Made with wheat sourced directly from Ireland, the bread achieves a softer texture than what you can typically find in America. If you’re going to pick one classic Irish gourmet food for Saint Patrick’s Day, if you ask us, this has to be your choice.
