The next time someone asks, “Do Irish eat corned beef?” you can say, “Not really, but they should start.” Because it’s delicious, and because traditions are allowed to evolve.
The best part? You can now enjoy your corned beef with zero guilt. You’re not being inauthentic; you’re being part of a living, breathing cultural exchange. How cool is that?
So go ahead, cook that brisket, boil that cabbage, and raise a glass of Irish stout—or a cheap lager, no one’s judging. You’re celebrating the spirit of Ireland, even if the recipe is a little bit American.
And that, my friend, is a beautiful thing. Sláinte! 🍀
