New England Boiled Dinnah

New England boiled dinner is a huge tradition on St. Patrick’s Day for Irish and non-Irish alike. Its simpler term is “corned beef and cabbage.” The meal consists of corned beef, cabbage, and other variations of vegetables; most common being carrots, potato and white turnips.

Ireland produced a lot of the meat in the Atlantic trade from cattle, in fact it was half of Ireland’s exports in the late 1600s. Most people in Ireland did not eat the beef product because it was too expensive, plus, it was more valuable to export. Ironically, corned beef was looked down upon in the (now US) colonies because it was associated with poverty.

American families all have their own recipes and traditions with regard to preparing their boiled dinner. Aside from cutting up the vegetables, the meal is quite simple to make. Some serve it with mustard and others with vinegar. Some boil in beer and others water or variation of the two. The meal takes all day to make and will make your whole house smell delicious, so that smell is clearly associated with the holiday.

Though people who like boiled dinner tend to love boiled dinner, it’s not usually served any other day of the year.

My family boils our dinner in equal parts water and beer on a slow heat and includes: corned beef, carrots, unpeeled potatoes, and cabbage. I, for one, cannot get enough! I always have big plans for corned beef sandwiches the rest of the week but that rarely happens because it’s all gone in a fraction of the time it takes to prepare.
