Evidently, it's about $4/lb for the cheapest cut of cow (corned beef), that has to be boiled for hours because the amount of connective tissue it it...and you you can only get in March in the United States.
Oh, wait, I get ahead of myself:
It's $4/lb on sale. But, if you've ever cooked corned beef, you know that it shrinks up to about 1/2 the size (which is pretty ironic, if you think about it- usually putting something in water causes it to swell). So, the price per cooked lb is almost $8/ lb- that's steak pricing! Wouldn't you rather spend the money on a steak instead of a piece of meat so grisly that you have to boil it to make it edible?
Then there's the ubiquitous potato.
They're on sale for $2 per 4lb bag.
POTATOES!
Honestly, I think that the total cost for an Irish dinner is more than the cost of a Guinness.
Guess we're having green eggs and ham this year.
(...except that the cost of food coloring is also at an all time high)
hmmm....
Where's that pot of gold when you need it?
