| | Corned Beef and Cabbage |
 | | In the early 1900s, Jiggs, a character in the newspaper comic strip "Bringing Up Father," proclaimed corned beef and cabbage his favorite Irish dish, even though it may never have graced dinner tables in Ireland. |
 | | Corned beef got its name before refrigeration, when meat was preserved using coarse grains of salt, called "corn." Today, beef is corned with spices strictly for flavor, not for preservation, so the meat must be refrigerated. |
 | | Cook beef, onions, mushrooms and garlic until no pink remains in beef and vegetables are softened. |
