My Irish immigrant grandparents never ate corned beef and cabbage.
It was something Americans ate.

I have a Jewish (married in) family member.
He makes "Irish" corned beef and cabbage every year for me on St. P's Day.
I keep telling him it is a Jewish dish, not an Irish one.
He just laughs and keeps making it every year. He loves it.
