Keyboard Kooking Irish Style

Already there are several keyboard kook-style posts up about friggin'
corned beef. One even suggests a French method. LOL, what a bunch of
fucking phonies.

Corned beef is corned beef. You put it in a pot with the friggin'
vegetables and boil it. That's why the friggin' Mick bastards drink
so much, to cover up the horrific food.

I wouldn't put the Irish up on any culinary pedestal. After all, it
is a bunch of idiots that starved to death while living on an island.
I mean, the potatoes failed, no one could walk and catch a fish or
two?

Flame on!

Isn't corned beef virtually unheard of in Ireland? They're more likely to
eat pork, lamb (or mutton) or seafood.

Oh shut the hell up. Corned beef is not a tradionally Irish dish. They
make take advantage of American ideas and commercialism to turn a buck or
two, but the poor Irish (particularly during the potato famine) didn't eat
corned beef. They couldn't afford beef of any kind. Look it up rather than
look like assholes.

From what I've read, eating corned beef on St. Patrick's Day is
gaining popularity in Ireland.

That may be true, but corned beef is not a traditional dish in Ireland.
It's purely part of American mythology. There are cabbage and potato dishes
native to Ireland. Colcannon comes to mind. In Scotland (where my family
comes from) it's called Bubble and Squeak. The difference is the Scots used
leftover boiled potatoes. Frugal, don'tcha know ;)

Colcannon, although it includes the same ingredients, is not the same
as bubble and squeak. Band S is a famous traditional English dish (not a
Scots one, though it is eaten here)

Bubble and squeak, is a way of using up left over cabbage and potato,
mixed and fried in a pan till browned. It bubbles and squeaks as it
fries, hence the name.

Colcannon is made fresh, it's not fried, it traditionally includes
scallions/spring onions and is served with a pond of butter melted in
the top.

It's generally acknowledged that Colcannon is Irish even in Scotland but
I do like the Scots name for it: "Rumbldethumps"! In Aberdeen, they call
it Kailkenny and make it with cream instead of butter.

St Patrick's Day was not a big deal over there until recently either,
so they go hand in hand. Are you saying that Irish Americans should
conform to the old ways? If they didn't want change, they never would
have left the old country.

Interestingly enough, I didn't find it on any restaurant menu when I
spent a week in Dublin and didn't find a single native who had ever
eaten it. I asked about it a lot.
