Hilarious Saint Patrick’s Day Memes: “Do You Like Corned Beef & Cabbage?”

 
When most people think about traditional Saint Patrick’s Day foods, they think about corned beef and cabbage, but did you know that dish isn’t Irish?
 
Shepherd’s pie, potatoes and soda bread are considered typical Irish foods. As for meat, Irish bacon was a popular choice for Saint Patrick’s Day.
 
By the time the first waves of Irish immigrants arrived in the United States, the only housing they could find was in the slums. This also meant they couldn’t afford expensive cuts of meat.
 
In these same slums, Jewish immigrants sold corned beef, a cheaper option that was somewhat reminiscent of their Irish bacon. Thus, the culture of corned beef and cabbage started in the U.S by Irish American migrants.
