The Quiz: In American St. Paddy’s meals, corned beef is paired with what vegetable?
Cabbage
Carrots
Lettuce
Kale
Corned beef and cabbage has become a classic dish eaten on St. Patrick’s Day, but the Irish don’t partake. The meal is primarily an American phenomenon; on the Emerald Isle, people typically celebrate by eating lamb or bacon. In fact, many modern St. Paddy’s traditions originated in the U.S., including parades and festivals. Until 1970, Ireland even forced pubs to be closed during the holiday.
The correct answer to this quiz is Cabbage.
