Ho una moglie americana, che prova a cucinare come mia madre, che è irlandese. Fa un ottimo lavoro, mia madre le ha insegnato tantissime cose, il cibo non è mai perfetto ma comunque molto buono. Non sono sicuro che nessun figlio irlandese penserà mai che qualcuno possa cucinare come la propria madre :).
Allora, mia moglie prepara un buon bacon e cavolo, lo mangeremo oggi, è ed è sempre stata la mia cena preferita, anche se l’agnello è la mia carne preferita.
Ma una settimana o due fa ha detto che avrebbe preparato pancetta e cavolo per la cena della domenica. Mi sono subito fermato e ho detto "no, non posso mangiare pancetta e cavolo di domenica". Mi ha chiesto perché e non ho potuto rispondere. Ha appena detto che non puoi farlo e lei ha detto: "ok, è strano".
Da allora ha chiesto a mia zia e a mia sorella separatamente ed entrambe hanno detto la stessa cosa, ma nessuno ha una vera ragione.
È una cosa comune? C’è un motivo, religioso o culturale? La nostra famiglia è l’unica così, siamo noi quelli strani? Mia moglie semplicemente non capisce perché no, per lei non ha senso e non abbiamo una risposta per lei.
Per tua informazione, sono cresciuto nell’Irlanda occidentale se entrano in gioco le differenze regionali

Your wife is right, of course you can have bacon and cabbage for dinner on a Sunday if you want. You can have a cheese toastie for Sunday dinner if you want.
That’s sounds like a good example of the story of the 5 monkeys.
“We’ve always done it like this”
“Why?”
“Errr… ehm… I don’t know really”
I guess it’s because Bacon and Cabbage is week day dinner and for Sunday dinner you splash out on a roast of something.
It’s just culture rather than religion. It’s a traditional farmers dinner.
I’d have turnips and brown sauce with my Bacon and Cabbage.
Handy Tip for your wife: Cook the veg in the bacon water.
You’re right. Certain dinners are banned from eating on a Sunday.
Sunday food is either full on roast dinner or dirt from a take away if dying.
Nothing else is permitted.
It makes no sense as to why you couldn’t have bacon and cabbage for dinner on a Sunday, it’s a day of the week like any other.
Tuesday food on a Sunday?
What the fuck is wrong with some people???
Wow, I had never thought about this as a rule. But thinking back to all the times my Ma has cooked bacon and cabbage, she never cooked it on a Sunday. And when I am visiting back home and am asked what I would like to eat, it’s always bacon and cabbage on a weekday, except for Friday. Friday my request is smoked cod.
>P.S. The picture is just a stock image I grabbed off the internet.
Thank fk for that. Was going to ask where is the bacon and whats that weird looking stuff at the top.
As a Level IV Vegan I want to know if you used free range, cruelty free cabbage? Also, did the bacon have an insurance policy? Think of the piglets.
You can have it on Sunday.so good
Boiled meat, fml I hated this shit when I was a kid
I’d feel the same way. It is just the way it is. Same with with white stew, can’t be having that on a Sunday either. I grew up with very traditional food in the west aswell.
Guess what?
You can have any food on any given day.
Duh.

Mad countryside behaviour this
People build up walls in their mind without even knowing it or understanding why.
And using stock images pulled from the internet is absolutely cheating and should not be allowed for posts like this.
Called my dad, he is 80. Never a thing in his house that he can remember but beef was more expensive so only had on Sundays
Notions. Spud, meat and veg is a good dinner in any house and shame on someone for turning their nose up.at good food for nothing more than notions.
I can hear my late mammy screaming at me in my head right now:
There’s children starvin’ in Africa!
It’s a midweek meal, I feel like minus the bacon it’s a bit of a struggle meal, thus you wouldn’t serve it for a Sunday family meal where you would pull out all the stops
I love hour traditional food worldwide is really just
This is the crap we used to eat when we were poorer
Where is the brown sauce?
I should hope that’s just a photo and not the bacon and cabbage your wife actually serves up. There’s barely a forkful of bacon in that whole photo, for fucks sake.
I’m sorry and I’m sure it’s lovely but that just reminds me of eating in the 3rd Battalion cookhouse. Especially if the bacon is a bit bristley 🤢
Love it, pint of Guinness with it ??
Dinner, ye can afford dinner, ye lucky, lucky bastards.
