I have never cared for corned beef, but as my husband is Jewish, he was brought up loving it. Though I am not Irish and my favorite Saint is Francis, I've always loved St. Paddy's Day, so last year I tried a recipe I found on the internet then added my modifications. The result is this and if you've sworn you'd never like Corned Beef and Cabbage, do give this a try! It makes a lot, so I took some to my widowed neighbor, Chet, and it brought him to tears as it was his one of his late wife's specialties. Now, in addition to having extra for sandwiches, Chet will always get his annual delivery ~
