An alternative to Corned Beef and Cabbage

[Jace]

Coddle...is an Irish dish, that is centuries old and originated in Did blin.

It's a slow-cooked one pot wonder - a potato-heavy stew, made with a handful of
simple ingredients: onion,bacon sausage and seasoned with salt, pepper and parsley.

It was traditionally served on Thursdays when families "use up" any leftover "rashers"( bacon)
and sausages from the week.

As this dish was derived from leftovers, sometimes root vegetables or whatever left over
from the week were added.

Anyone ever had? Or something like?

No, but it sounds pretty good.

I'm all in favor of once-a-week fridge cleanout recipes that eliminate food waste.

I would look forward to the next day's breakfast hash!

Pulled from the freezer; last portion of my baked pork tenderloin with cabbage, onions, a bit of caraway seeds and a little brown sugar. It was so good.

I also made one pancake to fit the 8" pan.

Too late. We made ours yesterday. Traditional corned beef and cabbage. But, when we used to raise hogs we had many a soup/stew just as
you described, sometimes with different left overs. Love both meals .

There is a nice Jewish deli, not far from here.

Right in the dining room they have a sign.

It reads, "Six Pack Abs Are Nice, But Have You Tried Our Corned Beef?"

My mother said that when she was a girl (1910-1920's), in her end of town, corned beef was considered infra dig. As a result, she and her friends who liked corned beef would travel to another part of the city where they wouldn't be recognised to buy and eat it.

For the newbies...your comment!

A small boiled dinner is an easy option for one or two people if you swap out the corned beef for a ham steak or ring of kielbasa.

You could also go from Ireland to France and make a small pot au feu using fresh beef, pork, or chicken alone or in combination.

It was even when I was growing up.. not to the extent of going incognito to buy it...but the poor always bought it either for the working mens lunchboxes or for Corned beef Hash...

The old Maggie and Jiggs, Bringing up Father, comic strips helped to perpetuate the notion that corned beef and cabbage was ‘low-rent’.

Look at what beef brisket is selling for at the local market:

We had a corned beef and Swiss sandwich on sourdough bread. It was delicious or Alainn (for the Irish folk)
