Does it take all day to prepare an Irish meal?
Being St. Patrick’s Day there are a lot of videos on the news website about “Corned Beef and Cabbage”. Boiling the cabbage is easy but did you know it takes 3 to 4 hours to boil a beef brisket (a cheaper cut of meat from their Jewish neighbors in New York) in salt, pepper and vinegar in chicken broth? Cooking an Irish meal must be a full time job. I found the original recipe called for four different types of sausages very confusing. The bacon is also confusing crispy, chewy, fatty, lean many types of bacon.
Since no one in my family eats beef, it is not worth it. It is better to watch the videos of the origins of the holiday on the History Channel com. And put 3 or 4 drops of food green colouring in your beer.
But anyway, Happy St Patrick’s Day.
By the way BTW, there is no corn in Corned Beef it comes from pellets of salt to cure the beef.
