Corned beef and cabbage is a dish that consists of salt-cured beef brisket, boiled cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.

The origins of corned beef and cabbage can be traced back to the 19th century when Irish immigrants in the United States substituted corned beef for their traditional dish of bacon and cabbage, which was more expensive and harder to find. The dish gained popularity in the United States and eventually became associated with St. Patrick’s Day, a holiday that celebrates the patron saint of Ireland.
