Though you might eat a serving of corn (1 cup whole kernel) with your corned beef and cabbage, I think we need to clarify the words "corned beef". Corned beef is a salt-cured beef product where the meat has been treated with large grained rock salt which is also called "corns" of salt. How much salt is required depends on the cut and weight of the meat.
Corned beef and cabbage with new potatoes.
Irish people do not. Traditionally Ireland exported a lot of salted beef but that was for profit, most people ate pork and could not afford beef. Beef, especially roast beef is associated with the English middle class, the demand was such that Irish beef was exported to england to feed the demand. It was not until Irish emigrants went to america that they started to eat beef. Corned beef i believe comes from Irish living in areas close to Jewish populations after emigration. A dish more in line with Irish people would be back bacon and cabbage with potatoes and root vegtables like carrots and parsnips.
