corned beef and cabbage

If you plan to make your own corned beef and cabbage to celebrate St Patrick's Day, make sure you pick the right cut of beef.

St. Patrick's Day is the celebration of Christianity's arrival in Ireland, through the teachings of their patron saint. March 17th marks the anniversary of the death of the Saint Patrick, who also drove the snakes out of Ireland. The early spring celebration is usually filled with plenty of shamrocks, bagpiped parades, green beer and a healthy portion of corned beef and cabbage. This year, if you are a Catholic, your corned beef is in jeopardy.

Believe it or not, St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. If you're planning to make corned beef, you might want to figure out which cut to buy. This should help.

With St. Patrick's Day falling in the middle of the week, many wonder when to celebrate. Our starving local restaurants are encouraging you to celebrate all month long.
