my wife dreads March 17th because of my insistence for corned beef & cabbage. She HATES hates hates the smell. (She has OCD but hey...) Now, that I know 1) real Irish rarely eat it and 2) thanks to Ancestry DNA, I'm not Irish after all, I will please her by calling an end to the cb&c.
I always wondered why people talked about corned beef and cabbage. We have Irish American roots and we very rarely had corned beef and cabbage. When we did, it was always cooked cabbage with a can of pinkish ground up funky corned beef mixed in. Thank heaven I learned about real corned beef! Now fish and potatoes—if our family had an emblem plant it probably would be a potato! Fried potatoes were the first thing I learned to cook. It wasn’t breakfast without the pan of fried potatoes!
Last time I had fish and chips- they served it in an paper cone (on the outside printed like a newspaper) an inside the paper was clean. We should not eat the print color of newspapers. Now it is styled like the old times.
