Why Eat Corned Beef on St. Patrick’s Day?
Originally “Corned Beef and Cabbage” was a dish served on Easter Sunday dinner in rural Ireland. The beef, which had been preserved for the winter, could finally be eaten after Lent, during which eating meat wasn’t permitted.
Today, Ireland’s main feasting day is St. Patrick’s day. The eating of corned beef and cabbage is actually more popular in the United States though than in Ireland. Irish-Americans and lots of other people eat itas a reminder of their Irish heritage.
