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

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

from what i've read, it's actually somewhat different--the thing about the McRib is that its existence is closely correlated with falling pork prices--but McD is such a large consumer, this immediately starts increasing pork prices

Beef was plentiful enough to be cheap at the time as it was. What's specifically cheap about brisket is that it's a very tough undesirable muscle that Jewish immigrants found a way to make palatable by wet aging in salt and slicing it very, very thin.
