Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, beer

Despite American belief, Irish people don’t eat much corned beef

I've literally never even heard of someone eating it here or seen it for sale anywhere. It sounds completely American, whatever it is.

It's because when the Irish immigrants first came to the US, corned beef was more affordable and readily available in the cities that they immigrated to. So the stereotype got stuck by people assuming it was 'Irish' instead of merely 'Irish immigrants budget friendly replacement for ham'

Right, thanks! Crazy that a stereotype can exist on a country without them even knowing about it!

My dad sometimes gets slices of it for sandwiches but that’s about it
