Corned beef and cabbage is so strongly associated with the Irish because they became the center of the corn beef industry when the English passed legislation known as the " Cattle Acts " ( Cadillac's ?? ) .
The Irish wouldn't have been literally starving to death and immigrated to the US if the English hadn't been charging them so much rent. The English had conquered the Irish and took all the land ownership away from them and even though the Irish still were living on the same farms ( at least some of them ) or in the same areas as before, they now had to begin paying rent on the same land that they were born on. The rent was specified in food. Not money. The exact kind and numbers of animals and produce was in the " rental agreement " between the land owner ( who lived away in England somewhere. Might not have even ever been there.)
They were still growing some foods during the famine but just barely enough to " pay the rent " with not enough left to feed themselves. Literally dying because the English wouldn't back off their demands of " rent ". That's why the Irish became so used to eating potatoes. Potatoes can grow in small patches of land that might not be able to grow other crops, with very little need for weeding or other care. They had plenty of meat but the English demanded virtually all of it.
I never knew why some Irish hate the English so much until I found this out.
The settlers here conquered the land of the indigenous peoples but at least they didn't demand that the Indians keep working the land and turning over basically everything they could grow and harvest.snowman_w900, ShooterK2, tramm01 and 11 others Thank this.
