New York Suburb Claims to be More Irish Than Ireland 

Jesus horse i havent a baldies.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

LOL

You know, it wouldn't hurt for you to contribute, to the conversation!

Jay Autumn my da eats it and i’m irish

@@FirstLast-vi2ee He must have gotten the idea from a trip to New York.

Salt beef in British English = corned beef in American English. Corned beef in British English = bully beef in American English. When I first heard of them eating corned beef and cabbage I thought it was that shite in a tin your gran put in sandwiches 😂

Dubs do

Micky Brennan it's an American tradition. It came to be used by the Irish in America as a substitute for ham or bacon with cabbage.

It's more Jewish than anything. What, praytell, is a traditional Irish meal, in your opinion?

@Daniel Eyre you're clearly a wasp. Luckily you descend from the inbred empire.

Not found anywhere else...a coddle..potatoes,carrots,onions,parsley,thyme,salt,pepper,Irish sausages,Irish bacon. Try it. Make sure to use Irish receipe sausages and Irish bacon. Cook until potatoes dissolve to thicken . Serve with heavily buttered soda bread.it smells like heaven and tastes like home.😊

My boyfriend was raised Irish Catholic (tradition in the family he said), but now he just drinks a lot of beer and smokes cigs, while listening to metal music

Gerry youd wanna Bomb that Restaurant

Pint of Smithwicks please Gerry, with a Jamesons chaser.

Upa ra.

Good.

Honestly I’ve never heard of corned beef before

What the hell is corned beef

It's not even irish

Corned Beef is a well known meat here in Dublin. Can have it in a sandwich from a deli or with a Sunday Roast.

I'm a savage for bacon and cabbage, we put corned beef in sandwiches over here dunno wa them yanks are shiteing on about

Very clever, you'll eat your words when you wake up a stranger in your own country after Ireland 2040. You'll be begging for the odd Irish-American to return.

@Ryan Shannon Definitely, there are people who as adults la.la. land.

Ryan Shannon no you didn’t. Your ancestors moved in waves 180 years ago during the famine. Pick up a history book

@@mraaronhd Fair point. I am assuming by this video they are stereotypically more Irish. It doesn’t make sense. You don’t need to act stereotypical if you have Irish ancestry. They are American such as I. But ethnically speaking I have Irish. Because I wasn’t born in Ireland, it’s like, how an Asian American is still an Asian American even if they were in the americas for 6 generations. But like, I have Scottish and Irish ancestry, doesn’t mean I’m going to say I’m more Irish than Ireland or Scottish than Scotland

No

Sounds like a Irish accent but falling into a new York accent. New yorkers don't pronounce their Rs, while Irish do, so it has this weird quality sort of sounds like a Delaware accent.

'ST.Pattys' is about as authentic as your take on Irish food.

I thought it's dutch name because of van

het leo you’re a spanner

Could be an anglicised version of an Irish name with a seimhiú, maybe their Irish ancestor was a woman so it kept its feminine form or it could be in the possessive case.

No census was taken in 1921, because of theIrish War of Independence. However, many of the records were completely destroyed prior to 1922, by order of the British government, on grounds of confidentiality. The original census returns for 1861 and 1871 were destroyed shortly after they were taken. So how tf would you know? The church records don't account for all people. One of the only sources of Irish history we Irish have is church records. The very people who anglicized us and stole our homeland. Native Irish people are pre Christian. I must say tho lol...I have my doubts that's an Irish name also...but if you live in Ireland and self identify as Irish because this is so??? It almost certainly means you are not. We don't live in Ireland anymore;)🍀🍁🍀. English people do:(

Shane Gallagher CHAIM HERZOG was an Irishman, a lawyer, a soldier, a diplomat, a businessman, a politician and a statesman who was twice President of Israel. "Native Irish " and "Irish". There is a difference;)

Well said. The truth is the corned beef thing started in NY because of the price of bacon/pork and proximity to the Jewish community in the Lower East Side. So it's a NY/Irish thing yes. Nice to see someone knows the back story.

St.Patricks day wasnt a parade we dont see it as a parade we see it as a Holy roman saints feast day every year it was a procession. Everyone would walk through the streets celebrating it. Then its been changed as a parade.

The Guinness family were no friends to Ireland. Look up their history

@TheDarkSide Why are you getting so worked up about it? I'm from Ireland and lived here most of my life but I don't get this attitude. These people are trying to honor their roots which originates from this country, obviously it's from a different perspective cause they grew up in another environment but I don't get this aggressive attidude you give back when they are being respectful in their interpretation.

@The Dark Side, define American?

Your right, boiled cabbage and bacon, and stew, that was our diet growing up.

Yeah, English corned-beef and cabbage.

Invented by Irish immigrants in America due to the fact that was the cheapest cut of meat, and some Irish neighborhoods bordering Jewish ones. So it stuck with new Irish arrivals and the Irish immigrants families, hence why it was passed down to us.

@@Ruggbywinger Yes but in America we either have Corned beef cabbage and potatoes or Fresh ham cabbage and potatoes. We usually don’t mix the meats together.

@@Ruggbywinger Um more so celebrating Ireland and the culture and customs we brought with us but also the “experience” of our ancestors being immigrants in a new land “America”

@@user-mt5cm5xp2o never heard of that before, its Jewish if anything.

In Birmingham we have it

Funnily enough, it isn't. Ireland even though it's a small country has regional cuisine. In Dublin it's "coddle" (a type of stew with bacon & pork sausages) and in Kerry "crubeens" (pigs feet) and in Cork City it's "tripe & drisheen" (Cow's stomach and cow's blood) also in Cork we have corned beef and cabbage. It's very popular and on lots of menu's, a few places are regionally famous for it. We also have corned pork ribs called "bodice" and corned offal. We've been throwing meat in salt for centuries. The meat takes about a week to 10days to cure. ☘️🇮🇪💚🇺🇸☘️

The Irish and Scottish settled in the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains regions of the US pre 19th century and passed on their traditional dances .In America it's called clog dancing. Blacks had no influence on that

Corned beef isn't Jewish.They learned and stole that from places in Europe they migrated to like they do everything else

@@noamfinnegan8663 who the fuck goes to Cork and asks for that though

They were trying to emulate Cabbage and boiled bacon and spuds with a parsley sauce. That was a staple in Ireland.

@Alex Winterborn Nope, a misrepresentation of culture does not become true because many people misrepresent it. They can call it something else, but it isn't what they're claiming. Strange that you think this is about "... no more of a right... ", since it isn't a competition - it's about preserving culture over Disneyfication. Chief.

Depends if it has the same ingredients but an added bit if cinnamon, it’s still a cake though ?

Oh aye. Lots of Irish died during the famine then lots tried to immigrate via coffin shops to the States which meant a lot of them died before they even touched American soil on the ships. I don't see the Irish complaining about getting reparations from the US or even the British for that matter.

@@tomyt2083 A Balanced Perspective on British-Irish Historical Interactions The history between Ireland and Britain is complex and multifaceted, often marked by periods of conflict, cooperation, and cultural exchange. Common narratives, especially among Irish Americans, can sometimes oversimplify these interactions, portraying the British solely as oppressors and the Irish solely as victims. To engage in a more nuanced and informed discussion, it's essential to address several key points that highlight the intricacies of their shared history, focusing on events from the 5th century to modern times. The Great Irish Famine: Beyond Blame The Great Famine (1845-1852) was a catastrophic event primarily caused by the potato blight (Phytophthora infestans), which decimated the staple crop for much of Ireland's population. While the British government's response was inadequate and often harmful, this narrative is not complete without recognizing the efforts made to provide relief. The laissez-faire economic policies and continued export of food from Ireland exacerbated the crisis. However, significant charitable efforts from individuals and organizations in Britain, including a personal donation from Queen Victoria amounting to approximately £300,000 in today's money, highlight that the British response was not uniformly neglectful. Early Medieval Raiding: Irish and Norse Activities From the 5th to the 7th centuries, Irish raiders frequently targeted coastal areas of Britain, including modern-day England, Wales, and Scotland. These raids often involved taking captives and plundering settlements. A notable example is St. Patrick, who was kidnapped from Roman Britain around 405 AD and brought to Ireland as a slave before later returning as a missionary. During the Viking Age (late 8th to 10th centuries), Norse settlers and raiders significantly impacted both Ireland and the British Isles. The Irish were both victims and collaborators with the Norse. In 825 AD, Viking raids on Irish monasteries began, and some Irish lords allied with Norse settlers, conducting raids on parts of Britain and other regions. These activities were part of the broader maritime conflicts of the time and were not unique to the Irish. High Kings and the Norman Invasion The 11th century saw efforts by Irish kings like Brian Boru to unify the country and exert control over Viking settlers. Brian Boru's reign culminated in the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 AD, where his forces defeated a coalition of Norse-Gaels and Irish rebels. This event underscored the complex relationships between the Irish and Norse settlers. The late 12th century marked the beginning of significant English involvement in Ireland with the Norman invasion. Richard de Clare, known as Strongbow, led the initial invasion in 1169 AD, followed by King Henry II of England asserting control in 1171 AD. This period initiated a long history of English dominance in Ireland, characterized by both conflict and administrative integration. World War II: Neutrality and Covert Support During World War II, Ireland maintained a policy of neutrality under Taoiseach Éamon de Valera. This stance was controversial, particularly due to de Valera's diplomatic gesture of offering condolences at the German embassy upon Hitler's death in 1945. However, Ireland's neutrality was primarily aimed at maintaining sovereignty and avoiding the devastation of war. Despite official neutrality, Ireland provided covert support to the Allies, including sharing critical weather reports and intelligence. Tens of thousands of Irish citizens volunteered to serve in the British armed forces, significantly contributing to the Allied war effort. While some IRA members sought Nazi support to further their aims against British rule in Northern Ireland, these efforts were limited and did not reflect the stance of the Irish government or the broader population. Economic and Cultural Contributions British investments in infrastructure, such as railways and ports, contributed to economic development in Ireland, though these projects often primarily benefited British interests. The British Empire also played a significant role in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, driven by figures like William Wilberforce. Culturally, the histories of Ireland and Britain are deeply interconnected, with significant exchanges and shared heritage. Irish scholars, writers, and artists have made substantial contributions to British and European culture. The Gaelic Revival in the late 19th and early 20th centuries saw a resurgence of Irish language, literature, and cultural identity, influencing both Irish and British societies. Modern Reconciliation and Cooperation The 1998 Good Friday Agreement marked a significant step towards peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland, fostering cooperation between Ireland and the UK and reducing violence. This agreement established devolved government in Northern Ireland and created mechanisms for cross-border cooperation. Contemporary efforts continue to address historical grievances and build a shared future through cultural exchange, economic cooperation, and political dialogue. Conclusion The interactions between Ireland and Britain throughout history are complex and multifaceted, involving periods of conflict, cooperation, and cultural exchange. Simplified narratives that portray the British solely as oppressors and the Irish solely as victims do not capture the full scope of their shared history. By acknowledging the natural disaster of the Great Famine, the maritime conflicts of the medieval period, the nuanced stance during World War II, and the ongoing efforts towards reconciliation, we can foster a more balanced and informed understanding of British-Irish relations. This approach challenges oversimplified narratives and encourages a deeper appreciation of the intricate and intertwined histories of these nations.

My family left Ireland during the potato famine but didn’t go very far. Quick trip to the Isle of Man 🇮🇲. We’re still here too. Loads of us now..!!

We had cousins visit 2yrs ago, from arizona, God what an embarrassment they were, all the locals did was humour them we had a good laugh at the yanks when they left the good old emmarald Isle.

This isn't a compliment, this is mockery.

@Fíonán Murphy wtf are you talking about? The Irish in America flourished after leaving their homeland in search of a better life. They helped build this country and gained alot of influence that they could not have in Ireland ,always under the thumb of Britain. One became a president ,numerous framers of the Declaration big Independence were Irish born or of Irish ancestry. Same as the writers of the Constitution. They became merchants , governors of states ,writers of laws . Whoever fed you that no blacks no dogs line is an ignorant anti American shit. They did face some prejudice in the early going but they persevered and made a great nation

As some one that lives in ireland I'm going to let you in on a little secret.. to us, you're American. End of. Stop claiming our culture we laugh when you do. To us you're not Irish and never will be

The process of dragging the old Gaelic surnames into English was messy and surprisingly long drawn out. As late as the 19th century, some parish registers still provide a time-lapse record of the changes happening. In west Cork, children baptised as “Fowlow” (Ó Foghlú, from foghlaí, “a robber”) in the 1820s become “Fowly” in the 1830s and finally “Foley” in the 1840s. In Leitrim, members of the same family are first “Breheny” (from Mac an Bhreitheamhan, “son of the judge”), then “Judge” and finally, God help us, “Abraham”, mangled out of “McAbrahan”. These two examples illustrate the most common ways surnames were anglicised, phonetic transcription and translation, both almost always treating the O or Mc prefix as irrelevant. The results could be rough and ready, approximate versions of what a record-keeper thought he heard or imagined he understood. The stretch from Ó Murchú (“grandson of the sea-hound”) to “Murphy” has always seemed a phoneme too far to me. Because any Anglophone record-keepers who knew Irish had only a smattering, mistranslation was the rule, not the exception. Mac Conraoi(west Galway), Mac Fhearadhaigh (Oriel), Ó Maol Conaire (Roscommon), and Ó Conraoi(east Galway) all ended up as “King” in English, simply because they contain elements that to an untutored ear sound like rí, “king”. But the ultimate insult to the old surnames was transposition. A lazy or exasperated record-keeper would give up any pretence of translation or phonetic transcription and just pick an English surname that bore some resemblance to the Irish original. The resemblance was often remote: “Bradley” for Ó Brolacháin; “Harrington” for Ó hIongardáil; “Holland” for Ó Maol Challann; “Davenport” for Ó Donnuartaigh. The three centuries before independence saw a great influx of English and Scottish families, among them, no doubt, plenty of actual Bradleys, Harringtons, Hollands and Davenports. This is why you think you're Irish. You are not Irish!🍀. But I am;) "Native Irish" and I live in Canada🍁

Lil Ginger May I ask your surname? The Irish name Tracey is derived from the native Irish O'Treasaigh Septs. The name is taken from the Irish word "treasach" meaning "war-like" or "fighter". It is also translated as "higher", "more powerful" or "superior". It may also be derived from the Irish word for three, with an association to the Tuatha Dé Danann. 🍀
