(the place goes wild
...Standing Ovation... ...The Crowd is now bowing - )Here's a little something from Ireland to Italy.
TODAY'S DISH.....CORNBEEF & CABBAGE
You'll need a 3 to 4 lb cornbeef, pickling spice, white vinegar, medium size head of cabbage and red potatoes.
Put cornbeef in large pan and cover with water...Add 1 cup white Vinegar. Put 1-1/2 Tbsp. Pickling Spice in tea ball or you can put it in cheese cloth. Add to Pan.
Bring to a boil....skim fat off top....cover, reduce heat and simmer for 2-1/2 hours.
When cornbeef is done, remove from pan (do not drain water or remove spices from pan). Wrap cornbeef in saran wrap and set aside.
Core cabbage and cut into quarters and put in the pan that you just took the cornbeef out of (add water to cover if needed). Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 35 minutes. Add your red potatoes to the pan, cover and simmer an additional 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Put Cabbage and potatoes in a serving platter. Unwrap cornbeef, thinly slice across the grain, and lay on top of cabbage. Pour some of the water from the pan into the serving dish, just to cover cabbage.
