About National Corned Beef and Cabbage Day
A plate of mouthwatering corned beef and cabbage is a St. Patrick's Day tradition.
It isn't actually the national dish of Ireland. You wouldn't eat it on St. Patrick's Day in Dublin, nor would you be likely to find it in Belfast. It's typically only eaten around the holiday in the U.S.
