[edit] Comic strip connection

Corned beef and cabbage was the favourite meal of Jiggs, the central character in the popular, long-run comic strip, Bringing Up Father by George McManus. As "Jigg's dinner," the apostrophe is incorrectly placed in reference to the McManus strip character. Google results reveal a far wider use of "Jiggs dinner" than "Jigg's dinner".

[edit] Ingredients

The meal typically consists of a combination of pickled salt beef (or salt riblets), boiled potatoes, carrots, cabbage, turnip, turnip greens and pease pudding. Condiments sometimes include mustard pickles, pickled beets and butter.^[1]
