My mother would make it every year, just as pictures, with cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, boiled for hours. I do love the meal, but probably have not had it since childhood, due to no one I have lived with in my adulthood likes corned beef or cabbage.

I live with Norwegians, so I get it.

Go out, get one, and do it. Even if you don’t eat the cabbage, get it and boil it up with the cabbage then toss it when you are done.

Have the dinner, and then rock the leftovers. Makes great hash, sandwiches, omelets.

I have it once a year, as a gesture to the fact that I left my home to join theirs and there isn’t an Irish person within three generations of the rest of the family.

Inbred? Oh, there’s more than a little of that based on the drama that ensues.

Anyway, do it for yourself. Use a little mustard. You’ll be glad you did.
