Talk:New England boiled dinner

Untitled
Restored this dish to primacy, referring corned beef and cabbage here.

This article is American-centric. 'Boiled dinner' is just as traditional in the Maritime Provinces of Canada as it is in New England. Unless anybody objects, I will edit this article to reflect the cross-border history of this meal. Naymetayken (talk) 14:43, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Irish Dish
Àlthough corned beef is common in Ireland I have never heard of anyone eating it with cabbage as a dish and never as a main course. It is usually used as a sandwich filling here.Eggilicious (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:49, 5 May 2012 (UTC).


 * Curiously, this meal is a fairly common offering in US restaurants, bars and the like around St. Patrick's Day, despite the fact that it's not at all 'authentic' Irish fare. I've even seen it offered in bars/restaurants that represented themselves as Irish.  Just another example of us Americans adapting others' cuisine to our own tastes. 72.0.15.8 (talk) 16:57, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
