Corned beef is a salted beef product. Traditional Irish corned beef and cabbage recipes used bacon or ham instead of corned beef. However, around the mid-1800s the Irish found Jewish corned beef with a texture very similar to that of bacon (pork) when they migrated to America. Therefore, they used corned beef as a substitute for bacon when making meals with corned beef and cabbage. Soon after, Irish Americans began eating beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day.

Beef and cabbage are still popular foods in many parts of the United States.
