Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper? Part 2

[quercus21]

It's a traditional Irish American dinner, usually eaten by the rest of America around St. Paddy's Day. It's corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes all boiled in a big pot with allspice berries, pepper corns, thyme, and rosemary leaves in a cheese cloth bag. It is meant to be fairly plain, but when enjoyed only once a year it's a welcomed treat!

I learned something new. I never knew that meal had a name. We always just called it "corn beef dinner". I'm getting some horseradish together, just for the occasion.

You double boil your corn beef?

Only enjoyed once a year

Really? We love it and have it at the very least 4 times a year.

we had a big salad with hard boiled eggs, greens, turkey and ham, peapods, veggies, cheese, and pine nuts. And strawberries. And a touch of sesame oil. Best of all, my daughter
made it! It was great.
