Corned Beef And Cabbage - An Irish Tradition - NOT!

Quick!  What are the two foods you associate with St. Patrick's Day?  Corned beef and cabbage, right?  Well it turns out it is a bunch of blarney.  Irish immigrants to the Americas substituted their traditional Irish bacon and cabbage for the less expensive corned beef and cabbage some time around the mid 1800's. Don't let that change your feelings of this festive meal.  It has also been known as a spring meat as it was left to cure in crocks all winter and then taken out in spring to celebrate.  President Lincoln even celebrated his inaugural dinner with corned beef and cabbage. 

So celebrate the Irish-American St. Patrick's Day tradition and bring out the 'little bit o' Irish' with some corned beef and cabbage.  Call your sales executive and get one case of cabbage when you buy 5 cases of corned beef!
