My first Boxty!
I sort of did something halfway between the Donal Skehan recipe
and the Serious Eats recipe.

Also, braised cabbage, carrots and potatoes.
Parsnips braised in ginger ale.
Purchased steak and mushroom pie, and steak and kidney pie.
Key lime pie and Chocolate Stout cupcakes
I had boxty in Dublin many moons ago. So good!

Coco Larkin posted a corned beef and cabbage pie topped with champ on Instagram. I may give it a go.
Motive met opportunity today. A favorite local place had Rachel and Reuben sandwiches made with corned beef theyâve been cooking. My husband and I took the sandwiches to-go and enjoyed them with fresh stout at a taproom a few doors away.
Thus fortified, I then spent the afternoon tackling admin work I did not wish to do. Starting in a good mood was helpful.

Not too early, being Friday, to break out the Guinness, Redbreast. Teeling, . . .

You are correct. Corned beef was not eaten in Ireland, it did become popular with early Irish immigrants to the US because it was very inexpensive at the time. CB and cabbage is an Irish-American dish.
It is fascinating how many cuisines we refer to as the cuisines of other countries are in fact Americanized cuisines. Add Irish-American to the list of Americanized Chinese, red sauce Italian, Tex-Mex, and doubtless many others.
Agreed. Immigrants have found ways to adapt their foods to what was available wherever they moved.
My SO is Irish, and Iâve been learning a lot about Irish culture and food. Lamb is quite popular in Ireland and is probably eaten more than other meats there. I made a delicious stew with lamb neck and porter that his mom told me about.
That said, we will still have corned beef and cabbage at the pub on St. Paddyâs Day.
Corned Beef and Cabbage is our St Paddyâs tradition, too. My 2 Irish American aunts, and my Irish Cdn aunt, all loved their corned beef and Irish culture, despite never setting foot in Ireland. I inherited some Belleek china from one of them. One auntâs kitchen was covered in Irish-themed decoration.
I dropped off a Barmbrack at our Irish friendâs home last week. She is now 88. She immigrated to Canada from Ireland 55 years ago. I reach out to all my Irish, Irish Canadian and Irish American friends and family on St Paddyâs.
Have you made Irish bacon and cabbage?
I havenât made it, but I can see how Corned Beef and Cabbage is related to Bacon and Cabbage.
In Toronto, one of the 2 historic Irish neighborhoods is called Cabbagetown (the other one is Corktown). It used to smell like boiled Cabbage.
Is Irish bacon the same as corned or cured pork?
I believe the type of Irish bacon that is boiled is a type of cured pork.
The preparation of boiling the meat, potatoes and cabbage together, without too many other ingredients, is what I see as similar between the boiled bacon and cabbage and the corned beef and cabbage.
The recipes from Ireland (above ) call for Irish loin of bacon, which is wet cured, and not smoked.

Just wondering. I heard of corned pork being the thing Irish people eat instead of corned beef, with both being wet cured. But bacon in this case seems to also fall into the âwhat do you call baconâ that includes Canadian back bacon, back bacon, pea meal bacon, rasher, pork belly, streaky bacon, etc. In any case, pork makes more sense given beef has always been expensive in comparison to pork and most beef was exported to England during colonial occupation.
Irish loin of bacon is a type of back bacon / midsection bacon. It is not a bacon made from pork belly.

Didnât realize different countries have different butcheringâŚ.but it makes sense. After all we have tri-tip out here .
yep! Butchering varies quite a bit regionally.
I havenât made it but have tried it. I like Irish bacon, but my SO does not. Go figure?
I will make colcannon; mashed potatoes, cabbage, onion and cheddar cheese. Baked in a casserole.
