Over there, they tend to eat Bacon and cabbage, but when immigrants living over here, they picked up a taste for corned beef from their Jewish neighbors in the NY neighborhoods.

Fergus is correct. I think it also had something to do with the fact that Irish bacon is not readily available here. I am told it is much different than what we here call bacon...although I have never had it so I can't say for sure. Maybe someone who is actually from there can clarify.

I prefer the cornbeef over the bacon as well though.

While silverside of cornbeef is nice I prefer bacon but you can keep the cabbage, horrid smelly stuff!

Ron,
EXCELLENT LOGIC, my friend! Good Job!

It's the correct answer at least as according to the "Daily Breeze" newspaper source. I never heard this before either, and found it interesting and credible. It claims that New York City, also the location of the first St. Patrick's Parade, was the source of corn beef and cabbage. The corn beef was a new meat product for the immigrant Irish introduced to them by the resident New York City Jewish community. The problem is, there was no mention to why or when in the short one paragraph St. Patrick's day trivia article.

Fergus,
Can't say!

Maybe you got sprinkled with Leprechaun dust making you invisible? In any event - I missed your absolutely correct answer. I'll have Ron forward you the prize.

Sorry!!

New England boiled dinner.  Influenced by the English settlers, and picked up by the heavy Irish immigrant population in New England, Boston in particular.  It was as close as they could get to home cooking, and St. Paddy's Day became a big deal here, while it is just a day to go to church in Southern Ireland.  At least in the County Cork area, where I stayed. 
And yes, I ate an awful lot of Irish bacon while in the Emerald Isle. It was the most common dinner, served at 1PM.  I ate it with the cabbage, (and boiled potatoes.) But, I like cabbage!  *Smile*
*Edited to add:  I'll take My prize now.  Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope, it's a good one!
