At the food blog Serious Eats, we'll eat food that's just about any color. But on St. Patrick's Day, we're alright with a little food coloring.

1. Shamrock Shake, McDonald's
Some consider them leprechaun-caliber mythical since they're only at select McDonald's in March. This shamrock shake locator is supposed to help you, but it's pretty hard to navigate. They've been spotted at outlets in California, Illinois, and New Jersey, but don't even waste your time looking for a shake in New York City. Note: McDonald’s does not specifically identify mint flavoring as one of the additives to the Shamrock Shake syrup.

2. Green bagels, Einstein Bagels
It's just a plain bagel dyed green, but they call them "lucky." Again, it tastes exactly like a plain bagel. The white kind. They also sell a green chili bagel year-round with a lot more flavor, but a leprechaun probably didn't fall into that batter.

3. Green frozen yogurt, Golden Spoon
The West Coast chain (and apparently one lone location in Tokyo) will feature a St. Patrick's Day mint fro-yo for the day, and spontaneously throughout the month.

4. Green Slurpees, 7-11
Lemon-lime and sour apple flavors magically become St. Patty's Day Slurpees today. (Just play along.) Before you go, here is some extra guidance on how to use a slurpee nozzle.

5. Green cupcakes, Sprinkles
The California-based cupcakery realizes that "red velvet" can easily become "green velvet" with a different tube of chemical dye. Between March 13 and 17, they'll be slapping cream cheese frosting atop the chocolate-flavored green fluffy base.

6. Green eggs, The Friendly Toast
Many places do the Seussian breakfast spoof, but this small town institution in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is worth a shout-out. All year they serve green eggs and ham: two poached eggs on a thick slice of baked ham and anadama toast (a cornmeal-molasses bread unique to New England) smothered with a tangy, creamy dill sauce. Sorry, no box, fox, or lox involved.

7. "Green" Beers
If you need to go the college party route, T.G.I. Friday's will have the dyed kind, or just make green beer at home yourself. Since the definition of "green" has changed a wee bit from the potato famine days, here's a few organic "green" beers to look out for: Peak Organic, Samuel Smith's Organic Lager and Ale, and Bison Brewing. Though, some people still think organic beers are all a fantasy.

8. Green Pretzels, Various Street Corners
Some festive street vendors in New York, Philly, and other cities, will break the rules and go for a non-pretzel-colored green.
