I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'

Today's holiday's explanation is linked through 'the main word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
Corned Beef & Cabbage is the dish that--beside having its own holiday--is a "staple" of St. Patrick's Day dinners (which may be the reason it has its own holiday---see the site hyperlinked in bold). 
The Salt-Preserved Meat is called "Corned Beef" because it's |Cow-Muscle that's Cured in 'Corns' (Large Grains) of Salt.
The word #Corn is built on ancient words that mean either Grain or Horn, Head (the 'Corns' one develops in |Calluses on ones Feet, for instance).

The word #Beef is built on ancient words that mean |Ox, Bull, |Cow (the '|Complaint or Annoyance'-sense probably comes from back when Soldiers frequently complained about Military Meat-|Rations). 
The word #Cabbage is built on ancient words that mean Head (as the Plant's Edible Leaves grow in a Head-Shaped Cluster ... leading to the word's use as slang for a |Nitwit, |Blockhead). #CabbageButterfly
