I haven't really celebrated it since the 90s. Last year we had a birthday party/reunion with people from way back in the day.

I'm going to make some Reubens as well. Do you add the purple cabbage to your slaw?

Yes if I make slaw But my Reubens have corned beef, sauerkraut Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing on Pumpernickel or black Bavarian rye bread
 
I'm using the black rye as well. Definitely making the slaw on the side. JHC I'm dying for this already. Might make it for breakfast lol.

I'll be cooking two big briskets. All the fixins, including extra potatoes. I like me some leftovers. Best home fries evah. And hit that cabbage with some vinegar and salt to make a quick home made kraut.
 
I'm as Irish as they come and I can't stand that stuff. :shrug:

Thats because the origin of corned beef n cabbage is all american, NY really. Came from the need to preserve the now plentiful beef the immigrants found in this country before refrigeration.

It does smell funky. I mean, boiling cured beef, and the stinkiest of veggies..

I do love the stuff tho. I revere the leftovers more than Tday leftovers. And I am of Italian heritage.

I guess, being of Italian heritage, of course I would like any holiday meal that features cured salted meats. Easter ham is next!:dance:

The hash alone. I pulse the potatoes, beef and just a little carrot with some fresh raw onion thru the food processor with salt pepper and my secret herbs and seasonings ( a touch of rosemary and a bit of fresh garlic, and just a sprinkling of a very few anise seeds with a bit of fresh flat leaf parsley. I grind the hard spices first and chop the garlic and parsley fine before addition) until just blended without turning to mush. I make patties of the mixture and fry in butter. Serve with fried eggs.

mmmm...

Sounds good. I just started liking hash
 
I'm making a roast pork with baked potatoes, carrots, and brussel sprouts.

I don't like corned beef at all.

Still haven't decided on what to make for St Joseph's Day on Tuesday.
