2. Corned Beef and Cabbage Day
Speak of yummy recipes to try out for St. Patrick's Day, corned beef and cabbage is one that cannot be left out! These two holidays can't be seperated from each other.
Back then, the traditional Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage recipes included salted pork which was used instead of corned beef. But, sometime in the mid-1800s when the Irish immigrated to America, they found that Jewish corned beef was very similar in texture to pork. Thus, corned beef was used as a replacement for pork or bacon joint when preparing corned beef and cabbage meals.
