Saint Patrick's Day
In the United States and Canada, the consumption of corned beef has become associated with Saint Patrick's Day.[5] Although corned beef did not originate in Ireland, it has been an integral part of Irish-American culture and is often part of North American celebrations of Saint Patrick's Day.[6] In Ireland, the closest traditional dish is Bacon and Cabbage (more akin to Canadian style bacon or ham). Corned beef and cabbage became popular in America after Irish immigrants in the eastern United States used corned beef instead of pork in their traditional dish.
Corned beef was originally used as a substitute for bacon by Irish American immigrants in the late 1800s.[7] A similar dish is the New England boiled dinner, consisting of corned beef, cabbage, and root vegetables such as carrots, turnips, and potatoes, which is popular in New England and parts of Atlantic Canada.
