That is, of course, unless you want pink cabbage and potatoes. We actually make two type of hash with the leftovers....corned beef hash and red flannel hash. The red flannel hash is made with the potatoes, beets and carrots. Love it, love it, love it. I've been desperate enough that I have cooked the veggies just to make hash....but it isn't quite the same if the potatoes and carrots haven't been cooked with the cabbage and corned beef. Now....have you ever had corned hake??? Absolutely my all time favorite meal, hands down!! Umm, the beets….actually those are cooked separately, not boiled with the rest of the veggies.

Fire away! I don't mean to suggest that Boiled Dinner is an exclusively Boston food. Just that it certainly is a traditional Boston one. Con, I love recipes! Fire away!

He is born and bred in Dublin and was appalled when he moved here and people tried to convince him that CB&C was Irish food. And today in the grocery store I encountered two African American women looking for the corned beef -- so they could make their Irish dinner, they told me. I'm outside of Philly so I think CB&C is a northeast thing. My german mother always made it on St. Patty's day too. Like Allison, I make a Guinness Stew and Brown Bread (similar to soda bread but no raisins and whole wheat flour, wheat germ, bran etc.) Do you want the recipe? ;-) My husband laughed out loud when I read him the start of your post.

The best part for me are the Reubens made from the leftovers. I've actually evolved into making a Guinness Beef Stew and Irish Soda Bread since boiled cabbage has never been my thing! Your corned beef dinner sounds better than my recipe though! May have to try it again. I grew up having corned beef and cabbage on St. Patty’s day too – and I’m from the midwest.

We eat the hash with beets sort of the corned beef ground up, fried quickly in a little butter add in a beet cooked and mashed in with the other leftover veggies. I was at a friends today for real boiled dinner of ham and such, but I actually prefer the corned beef version. Another perk of of being a Masshole, boiled dinner everywhere and leftover hash with eggs for the next week! I cannot wait to go to my mothers tuesday for dinner, I love this dinner, love it,love it.
