      A minor fun fact about St. Patrick's Day is corned beef and cabbage isn't really a native Irish thing Like yes, they had corned beef in Ireland (and since this became a thing some people have really pushed the theory it was invented in Ireland) But it wasn't a traditional dish

      The evidence is like nearly universal that if you read old books about Ireland the struggle food of choice for Irish peasants was *salt pork* and cabbage No question about it -- the most common meat in a meal *by far* was a little bit of fatback (from a literal "pork barrel")

      Beef was for rich people back in the Old Country "Corned beef and cabbage" became a thing among Irish-Americans as an *upgrade* from salt pork and cabbage, because America was a land of plenty and home to cowboys

      And you can find references to the time about Irish immigrants giving thanks for kosher delis run by Eastern European Jewish immigrants The growing market for beef from people who couldn't eat pork helped drive the price of beef down

      Wouldn't greater demand drive prices up?

      That was perhaps phrased inartfully on my part The existence of a larger market raises prices in the short run, but in the long run has the opposing effect of shifting production toward a greater supply

          I don't think Jewish immigrants *made* beef cheaper in the US all by themselves -- that indeed wouldn't make any sense, cattle objectively are cheaper to raise in the US But the demand created a supply chain for making processed beef products sold at retail

          It's the same as the whole deal with how based on commodity prices McDonald's should have a pork burger that costs less than the beef burgers -- and in other countries, like Taiwan, they do -- but here they have to trick you into buying it by making it an expensive novelty item

          A good example of this is gluten free stuff. I’ve had wheat allergies all my life, and like, thanks to gluten free stuff catching on as a fad I can just buy bread. When I was little I remember my mom had to like, actually make bread if we wanted bread I could eat.
