Yeah you know except the whole part where it was brought to the US by the Irish potatoes famine refugees. But yeah nothing to do with ireland just the thousands of Irish people from Ireland that fled the famine.
The corned beef isn’t necessarily Irish, but putting it in a stew with cabbage and potatoes is the Irish bit
The whole reason the Irish subsisted on potatoes was that the corned beef they were wage slave raising and producing was to be eaten only by English and French folks that could afford the extravagant costs. Another type of corned beef was here already in the US. It was the Jewish kosher corned beef that became synonymous with Irish American culture.
There’s about the same number of foods that are actually from Europe, as there are foods that immigrants made theirs once they got here.
