A few Irish pubs close by do a nice job with it. Am learning to love the cabbage as well. And I am French and German...go figure!

My Irish and Scottish wife doesn't like the corned beef...just the cabbage and potatoes!

we are having Eggplant, Zucchini and roasted tomato sauce over whole wheat pasta for dinner.....go figure again!
