Corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day is a
uniquely American tradition - "a blending of history and opportunity". Ireland was a large exporter of corned beef
in the 17th century, but because the price was high for
beef, the Irish ate corned pork instead.
Later, in the 18th century, when large numbers of Irish
immigrated to the United States, they found beef brisket
at a much lower price and because cabbage was
readily available and affordable, a dish combining
the two became a classic. As St. Patrick's Day evolved
into a celebration of Irish heritage and culture
for Irish-Americans, corned beef and cabbage
became the traditional meal of the day.
