Your ancestors wouldn’t have been insulted because corned beef is not now, nor ever was, an Irish dish. Matter of fact one would be hard pressed to find any Irish person who actually likes it, let alone purchase it. I have never seen it on a menu at any Irish restaurant or pub.

LOL, BS. My ancestors arrived by boat and we all lived happily ever after in New York eating corned beef and cabbage and drinking beer on St Patty's day which is of course an American holiday as is the corned beef part of corned beef and cabbage.

And just to keep it real here for the challenged I was being facetious about the insult thing.
