@bijouxbroussard I personally have never had it and have only ever met one Irish person who has.
I believe it is actually a Yiddish dish that people picked up in The US.

@bijouxbroussard @Ozymandiaz Partly, yup. History states that while the livestock raised to produce corned beef came mostly from Ireland, the Irish themselves were too poor to afford it; it was produced - like everything else at that time - for the English.
Things changed when the Irish began to emigrate to America. Here, such meat was considered inferior and so it was affordable to the Irish who were naturally curious about it. When the Jewish/Yiddish came with their own recipes, the perfect union was created.
So yeah, it's essentially Irish-American.
