How many DUers are having traditional American-Irish Corned Beef & Cabbage tonight?

[stopbush]

We are. Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots, all washed down with Guinness Stout.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Not me. Never liked that stuff at any time of year.

[Docreed2003]

2. Yep love corned beef

[Luciferous]

3. Nope

[tritsofme]

4. We made it Sunday! Couldn't get any onion or cabbage, but with the potatoes and carrots

It was still very tasty.

Even with the run on everything else, the store had plenty of corned beef! We grabbed an extra one too!

Enjoy, sounds great!

[MissB]

5. And Irish soda bread!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

46. It just isn't right without the Soda Bread !

I make my own. It's so easy.

Erin Go Braugh !

[MissB]

48. Same here

Perfect the next day toasted with some orange marmalade.

[3Hotdogs]

6. Yuppers, including the Guinness.

I am stuffed.

[OKNancy]

8. I am - shared 1/2 with my neighbor

just now gave them a big dish of corned beef potatoes and cabbage.

[htuttle]

9. Substantially Irish, but I'm making Yakitori, Rice and Miso soup

Corned beef and cabbage, and lots of potatoes for that matter, are famine food!

I'm likely to get a chance to eat plenty of that a few months from now.

[zackymilly]

10. I'm not eating any cabbage until toilet paper is easier to find. n/t

20. You may have to get acquainted with the wonders of your index finger.

Technique for washing your hands properly really come in handy.

[MontanaMama]

11. We have a local grocery that makes homemade corned beef

out of rib roasts. The butcher uses an old recipe from his Irish grandmother who emigrated from Ireland to Butte, MT. Folks stand in line to get them! I bought 2 of them and was gifted another!! My guys won’t eat boiled cabbage so we have a Napa cabbage salad and smashed garlic potatoes. It’s one of my favorite meals of the year. We will have another dinner like this in September and then again in December or January. 🇮🇪🍀

[Blue_true]

28. Instead of boiling the cabbage try pot cooking in in 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil,

in a covered pot set to around 7 on heat. If you thin slice fresh garlic and cook that with the cabbage, the combo is wonderful. Cook the cabbage, stirring often for around 15-20 minutes or until all liquid cooks off and cabbage starts to sear.

What I do first is cut off the amount of cabbage that I want, cut it into bite sized pieces, put it in a plastic container and wash it with several passes of water, drain off the last pass, season it with salt, black and pepper, put 1 table spoon of olive oil on it and mix by hand the blend in the seasoning, then put it in the pot with the heated olive oil. I then peel, wash and slice about 5-6 garlic cloves and add them to the pot. Keep the pot covered when not stirring.

The cabbage and garlic tastes five times better than steaming and you don't have to add stuff like butter to make it delicious to eat. Try it, I think your family will like it.

You would think that the pot Sauteed cabbage and garlic would cause brutal gas, surprise, it doesn't.

12. I'm as Irish as Paddy's Pig

as they say. But, i abhor cabbage and am not fond of corned beef. My parents grew up in the Depression. My mother, the youngest of 13, basically lived on cabbage when she was growing up.

She wouldn't have it in our house. She and my dad would go to a local pub for dinner every St. Paddy's Day, so he could have his corned beef and cabbage.

Ancestral memory, I guess, but I cannot tolerate the smell of cooked cabbage.

[kerouac2]

13. Yes!

All that - plus Irish soda bread. Gotta have the bread.

[maveric]

14. My wife picked up the corned beef this morning.

No cabbage or potatoes in the store.
Not tonight.

[Sedona]

15. Made it Sunday

Finished the leftovers today.

Couldn't find white potatoes, had to use sweet. Was kind of nice. Hope my ancestors in Wexford & Donegal aren't rolling in their graves.

[pecosbob]

16. There's no potatoes or cabbage or beef at my grocery store

[Sherman A1]

17. I wish, but not this year

I was going to the Knights of Columbus dinner but it was cancelled. Maybe next year.......

[applegrove]

18. We have that all the time. It is my dad's favourite. I have not done the cabbage

though. I'm one generation removed from a farm. I don't know how to do it all authentic.

[cornball 24]

19. Fish 'n Chips!

[marlakay]

21. Don't like it we usually go out to pub

And i get shepherd pie, but instead fav pizza place to go.

[PA Democrat]

22. Slainte!

No Guinness for me. I like Bulmer's Hard Cider which for some reason is sold under the name of Magner's here in the US.

[muriel_volestrangler]

25. That would be because Bulmers is an English cider company that bought Magners decades ago

and changed the name inside the Republic to Bulmers.

Commercial cider production was started in Clonmel, South Tipperary, in the then Irish Free State, in 1935 by local man William Magner.[1] Magner bought the orchard from Mr Phelan from Clonmel. Magner quickly established a successful cider mill on the site of Thomas Murphy's brewery in Dowd's Lane, Clonmel. In 1937, English cider-makers H. P. Bulmer purchased a 50% share in the business, using their expertise to greatly increase production. After the war, in 1946, Bulmer's purchased the remaining 50%, changing the name to Bulmer's Ltd Clonmel.[2] H.P. Bulmer maintained international rights to the Bulmer's trade mark, so that any exports were carried out via the parent company rather than directly exported from Ireland.

In the 1960s, H. P. Bulmer produced a "Champagne perry" product in direct competition with Babycham, owned by Showerings Ltd of Shepton Mallet. Showerings challenged this in court, and H.P. Bulmer lost the case. In 1964, they were forced to sell Bulmer's Clonmel to Guinness and Allied Breweries, parent company of Showerings. The company name was changed to Showerings (Ireland) Ltd.
...
The success of Bulmers cider in Ireland led to the development of the Magners brand to market the company's cider outside the Republic of Ireland. Since H. P. Bulmer retained the right to market their original British Bulmer's worldwide, the C&C Group needed a new name under which to market their international product. The concept was originally developed by Brendan McGuinness, John Keogh and Shane Whelan, all of Bulmers Ireland, who argued that the international growth of Irish pubs provided a natural market for a drink such as Irish cider. Majorca in Spain was the first market to sell Magners in May 1999, followed by Munich in Germany in July 1999. Magners was first sold in the United Kingdom in late 1999 when the brand was launched in Northern Ireland. C&C established the trade mark by selling to wholesalers and retailers in London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Cardiff.

41. I do remember hearing about this.

I first tried Bulmer's in Ireland where many pubs have it on tap.

[Shrike47]

23. We do corned beef and Brussels sprouts, the latter boiled after the beef is out of the pot.

And little potatoes, of course. Due to my fondness for this dish, we limit it to March.

[customerserviceguy]

24. The corned beef and onions

just came out of the Instapot, the potatoes, carrots and cabbage are in there with the broth right now. My lady, who is proud of her Irish heritage has a shamrock-themed towel laid out on the table for a display and photo-op of the meal to show her relatives on Facebook.

[Coventina]

26. Vegetarian here, so no.

Never been a fan of cabbage....

[Arkansas Granny]

27. Not me. I made a pot of Chicken Gnocchi soup using an Olive Garden copycat recipe.

It's quite tasty.

[mindfulNJ]

29. Just finished

and it was delicious. We had Smithwick's though...not a fan of Guiness.

[Maeve]

30. Had corned beef, potatoes and carrots Sunday

Had rueben sandwiches (the cabbage comes in as sauerkraut) and Extra Stout for supper.

Also have nine different Irish whiskey brands to taste (one of those bottle was an expensive brand we got at a close-out sale and have enjoyed slowly for at least 7 years!)

[KatyMan]

31. Honestly

My wife and I lived in Ireland for a couple of years, and we never encountered corned beef over there that I tecall. Maybe we went to the wrong places?
Full disclosure (haha), my mother was born there and my wife and I are dual US/Irish citizens.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

47. It's an AMERICAN Irish thing.

But then, given your relatives, you already knew that !

We had an Irish exchange student in our neighborhood when I was young. We mentioned the CB&C annual dinner and she said, "What is CORNED beef ?"

[samnsara]

32. probably sunday when hubby is home all day to cook it..

[zipplewrath]

33. This one

Well, corned beef and potatoes and beer. Top it all off with some Red Breast afterwards.

[dhol82]

34. Wanted to do it but when I went shopping two weeks ago it was too expensive.

Hope to go this weekend and find some reasonable prices so I can make a feast next weekend.

[Backseat Driver]

35. Yup - half prepared for when DH gets off at 9PM EST.

but with Artisan beer-braised sauerkraut from a jar and AuGratin potatos - wouldn't miss it and I don't make it often so to keep the anticipation, LOL!

[Maribelle]

36. I made our dinner Sunday ...

Corned Beef with spices from the package, Cabbage, Potatoes, Trunips, Carrots, Celery, Whole Sweet Onions, and simmered for hours.

Today I had the traditional after meal - Corned Beef Hash fried in butter. Sometimes I think I like the hash better, especially smothered with Dijon mustard.

Oh well, its all gone now

[sarisataka]

37. The very Irish missus

Can't stand either. We are having pancakes and bacon for dinner

I should have picked up some Guinness

[redstatebluegirl]

38. Just finished it here!

[dhol82]

39. My favorite way of preparing the corned beef:

Bake the spiced brisket in the oven for two and a half hours at 325. Pan wrapped in foil and meat covered with two layers of foil. Add a bit of water if needed. Check at end of time that the meat is tender. If not, plunk it back in for another round.
When meat is fork tender, cut fat to about an inch and plop on a mix of dark brown sugar, dry mustard and pineapple juice mixed to a thick slurry. Pop it back in the oven at 325 for 15 or so minutes. Baste. Do another 15-20 minutes. Keep doing this for another one or two times until you have a lovely crust.
Let it sit for 15 minutes and slice across the grain.
I always serve this with mashed potatoes, braised cabbage (another recipe if you would like) and carrots with mint, nutmeg and a touch of sugar.
Nirvana!

[bottomofthehill]

40. We see but no Guinness, steeped in beer though.

[GeorgeGist]

42. Me

Not a great fan but my wife loves it.

[Alacritous Crier]

43. Me!

I make it every year.

[gibraltar72]

44. Minus the cabbage.

Wife loves it but gives her explosive Trumps. So I tossed in a little onion.

[TomSlick]

45. Yes, and it was great!

[H2O Man]

49. Recommended.

We have salmon, the traditional meal on this day for those in the Old Sod where my people came from. My younger son had some Guinness, since the semi-finals and finals of the NYS Golden Gloves are postponed.

[Throckmorton]

50. Me, after making 200 to go meals, at the soup kitchen.

Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and soda bread. We have gone to take out only, with flow control, at the soup kitchen I volunteer at twice a week.

[gibraltar72]

51. Made it but no cabbage.

Wife loves it but it gives her explosive Trump.

[yankeepants]

52. Yass, ahnd tanks fer askin'! Slainte!

[brewens]

53. Cabbage rueben wrap for me today. I've been on a diet for over a year and didn't do my

usual corned beef and cabbage last year either. I saw that Rueben wrap recipe and knew that would work well with the diet. Almost two pounds of corned beef portioned up and stashed to have those several times.

[dem4decades]

54. 3 pounds of corned beef, head of cabbage, carrots, potatoes and a pint of Fosters.

Washed it down with Stone IPA. Delicious.

[exboyfil]

55. My Norwegian wife made it for me

She did a good job.

[mainer]

56. Just had it

The fat is the best part. Son ate every last scrap. We’re not even Irish.

[aikoaiko]

57. Me. Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, soda bread

[sprinkleeninow]

58. Colcannon with some precooked bacon tossed in.

Braised the cabbage in a small quantity of Guinness Blonde!

I lost my other half a year ago and I wanted to keep the tradition regardless. Not any Irish heritage that I know of, but today I honor Saint Patrick and bless God for him. So today I am adopted colleen!

Sláinte! 🍀🦄🌈🎩💚

[KT2000]

59. Main meal was Sunday

with my friend from China and her husband. Leftovers tonight. The soda bread at the local store is exceptional this year. I have purchased 3 so far.

[Kali]

60. I don't do carrots in mine

and I'm the only current drinker in the house so skipped the alcohol and we had sparkling limeade instead.

somehow we got on a strawberries and *some kind of cake* with whipped cream as the traditional desert. usually sara lee pound cake, sometimes homemade shortbread, but today I made some sweet drop biscuits that were super easy and perfect for the berries and cream
