A (Brief) History of Corned Beef in Ireland
Manage episode 451900566 series 2386509
Is corned beef Irish?
Many people will tell you that it isn't – and that was the story I had heard as well.
But according to a thesis written in 2011 by Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire from the Technological University Dublin and Pádraic Óg Gallagher, owner of Gallagher's Boxty House, corned beef does have a place in traditional Irish food.
It all goes back to the Salt Tax in Britain. To put it simply, the cost of making corned beef in England was too high so it was passed on to the Irish, as a British colony, to make the corned beef for the British Navy.
Of course, very few Irish could afford corned beef; bacon was much more commonly served with cabbage.
You can get all the history in this paper .
