Since I’m now almost Catholic, I decided to look for a new national identity to go with this religious persuasion and tried Irish food. You can see it in the photo. It had potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. And a very unusual kind of meat called brisket. I have no idea why Irish food has Jewish-sounding meat but the dish was very good.
Brisket is one of the cheaper beef cuts, so it shows up in a lot of different cuisines. I think it’s heavily used for barbecue as well.

That looks good! I’m making corned beef and cabbage tonight, but it won’t be that fancy.
