National Corned Beef and Cabbage Day - March 17

To "corn" something is simply to keep it in a salty brine (the term corn refers to the coarse grains of salt used for curing)..

Corned beef is a salt-cured beef product. Traditionally Irish Corned Beef and Cabbage dishes called salt pork or a bacon joint instead of corned beef. However, they discovered Jewish corned beef very similar in texture to the bacon joint (pork) in the mid-1900s. Since the bacon was used as a substitute for the bacon when making corned beef and cabbage dishes, they used corned beef as a substitute for the bacon. Corned Beef and Cabbage on St. Patrick's Day was available in Irish-Americans as soon as.

In several areas of the United States, Corned beef and cabbage remains a popular dish.
