St. Patrick’s Day is definitely one of my favorite holidays for two reasons: I’m Irish, and I love all of the great food associated with the holiday! Let’s start with the traditional…”Corned Beef and Cabbage.” This dish became popular in the U.S. after Irish Immigrants began using corned beef instead of pork in their dishes. They started this because the cost of corned beef in the U.S. was and still is significantly lower than pork and various other meats. Something must have stuck because there’s no one dish that defines St. Patrick’s Day quite like Corned Beef and Cabbage!
