    I hope the buffet was free. This looks like strip club food. 

  2. sonofphilcollins

    it’s kinda true but that’s way too lean anyhow

  3. TheDreamIs0ver

    As someone who grew up with an Irish Grandmother, that looks about right.

    The most dry corn beef I’ve ever seen

  5. PGHxplant

    Needs mustard, but yeah, it’s a celebration of a peasant feast. The shittiest thing to me here is that they trimmed all the delicious and nourishing fat away and didn’t at least drizzle some of the boiling liquid on it.

    a well made one of these will not be dry and will not be flavorless. The little seasoning packet they give you ain’t enough you gotta add more, and honestly needs onion

    New England Boiled dinner fixed this malarkey. My great grandmother switched to that and never looked back.

    They are all out of potatoes again.

    Are they remembering the days of the famine?

  10. Ishvale

    What happened to all the fat? That’s where the flavor really lives

  11. Sophisticated-Crow

    Yikes, this looks dry even for flat cut(always get the point cut if you can find it, folks. That’s where the tasty fat is and the meat is more tender).

    I know corned beef and cabbage ain’t sexy… but come on…

  13. Cautious-Concept-175

    Steak
    Cabbage
    Carrot
    Silver

    Now let the beat drop..!!

    Strangely enough I think this is objectively a good photo even if the subject ain’t much to look at!

  15. FeeSharp745

    Ive seen many like this. S&P, and then drowning it in white vinegar was always the play. I would eat that right now I will not lie. Usually much more cabbage.

    This was a luxury to people and still to some is, were spoiled af and a boiled meal might not rouse the tastebuds of some but it survived some tough mother fuckers, a breed of people who would run circles around us scummy fucks of the computer age.

  17. RedDragonOz

    Yep, looks like the abominations my Irish mother called food

  18. ZachariasDemodica

    Are we sure this isn’t Irish bacon and cabbage (more authentic than corned beef with cabbage)?

  19. ijustwantamuffin

    What is that meat? Silverside?

    Where’s the sauce?

    Mustard sauce? Creamy mustard sauce? White sauce? Parsley sauce? MUSTARD PICKLES?

    ANYTHING?

    Im literally eating this rn with a guinness. Happy st paddys

  21. maxbeanie

    Now maybe it’s just me but I would devour

  22. jaycookiecutler

    Pass me a slice of buttered bread and some mustard, sauce or at least salt. and that wouldn’t be bad at all. I wouldn’t complain, especially after some beers.

    they don’t have seasonings in ireland so that’s about right

  25. Past-Statement8663

    I add a side of mustard and slather everything in salted butter.

  26. MuchDevelopment7084

    That is the saddest, uninspiring, dry looking St Patty’s day meal I’ve ever seen. smh

  27. SeaEstablishment1744

    Looks poor but would eat 3 servings gladly.

  28. LilMeatBigYeet

    Sounds about right for irish food lol.
    I bought a cheap corned beef from Krogers, gonna chop it up and make a giant sandwich w russian dressing and swiss cheese

  29. Sure_Lavishness_8353

    Everything is cooked in water that’s what you get this is it.

  30. cozmiccharlene

    That corned beef is way too lean. I bet it’s dry. No thank you

  31. athomic74

    Irish cuisine… nothing… better…??

  32. kvng_crzy

    omg that looks like the saddest st paddy’s day meal ever 😭 like where’s the flavor?? even the beer looks flat.

  33. Aridyne

    Corned beef and cabbage is ok… but true joy comes with the leftovers… the hash

  34. FangornLeghorn

    Dried meat than Melania on her honeymoon.

  35. CantaloupeCamper

    Mine didn’t look all that different than that pic… wasn’t dry.

  36. SergeantBoop

    If the corned beef isn’t stringy chunks of meat I don’t want it

  37. TheRedditAppSucccks

    Make your own damn food then
