Corned Beef...THE TRUTH!
Did you know...that the Irish (in the Irish Republic) do not eat Corned Beef on St. Patrick's Day?
It is actually an Irish-American custom, and a "borrowed" one at that, from their Jewish neighbours. The corned beef was a substitute for bacon, which was more expensive.
We won't even mention the fact that St. Patrick was probably from Wales and/or Scotland, and a Romano-Briton tae boot! :mrgreen:
Cheers, 
Todd
