I Love St. Patrick's Day, but...

Corned beef and cabbage isn't really traditional. The traditional is Irish bacon (lean back bacon) and cabbage. Corned beef is an American alteration brought about because the Irish immigrants couldn't afford Irish bacon and their Jewish neighbors introduced them to the much cheaper corned beef.

Oh thank goodness!
I never could stand corned beef. Bacon though is another matter!
I'll be having Irish soda bread. It's cooling as we speak.

I'm with you on it. I might have a very tiny bite of it, but that is all I can handle. I do, however, make what I am told is a damn good corned beef, lol...I start getting the "you are making the stuff for st pat's day, right?" questions at work starting somewhere around the middle of January. This is mostly from my Irish driver, my Egyptian boss, and now, and English driver.
I'd rather have the stew I make with guiness in it. It's yummy.
