  I am going to burst a lot of bubbles. It is not really Irish. It is actually Jewish.
 When the Irish were landing in New York , poor
 , finding food that was affordable was a natural priority.  The Jews worked deli's. The lesser cuts of meat were corned. There is no corn used. The salt acorns , or corns for short was packed around the meat to draw out moisture and prevent the growth of bacteria.  This was boiled before eating. Cabbage was very cheap and was cooked with the beef.  A poor mans dinner.
  In Ireland , Shepphards pie is the celebration meal of choice.  You can look that one up when you check my story.  I am sticking to it. We are Irish decedents (old2soon) , and  da prez :smitten:

Been here since the 1850s, close enough for me !

When done right, its one of my favorites, good anytime.

I like corned beef and cabbage.   :cooldude:

Except cooked cabbage goes through me like.....  (a Montezuma thing) ;D

When I turned Hotglue onto great corned beef he actually went out and started to make his own

Steaming the meat right before you slice it makes it like butter

Split a CB on rye every sunday with mom.  Goes great with pickled beets and pickles,  more poor people food

Thanks for the post.  One of my fav comfort meals.  Actually I make a big pot of it and the leftovers run out right about the time I've got my fill for awhile.  Gotta make room in the frig then time to make another pot of "New England boiled dinner".

      As Ross can attest to we ate a Lot of taters and gravy bread growin up. Whole milk cut 50/50 with powdered milk. Dad would git upset as I put syrup on tater pan cakes!  I also recall on Saturdays Dad pullin All the leftovers and puttin it in 1 large pot reheating the whole mess and That was supper! Sometimes it were good and sometimes not so much! And PLEASE do Not see this as a complaint-we Grew up and became somewhat responsible Adults!  :roll: I got violently ill on cooked cabbage as a kid and have not been able to eat it since. Shame really-I used to Like cooked cabbage!  :-\ RIDE SAFE.

mom use to do corned beef and cook it to death.  I liked it most of the time but sometimes a few cuts of meat were pretty darn fatty while other times the leaner better cuts were much tastier.  Not a fan of cabbage no thanks.

Saw corned beef in store for 2.99lb. I guess not too bad considering most cuts of beef are almost all above that in price.

Doing a flat cut as of right now. Doing a par boil for a 1/2 hr. then will wrap it in foil and using the smoker instead of the oven in the house for a couple hrs. @ 275 degrees. Steamed ala dente cabbage and boiled taters. Yes I like all my flavors/textures separate.
