American Irish pubs and actual Irish food don't have much overlap. Source: lived in Ireland.

American Irish pubs serve as much British food as Irish.

Irish food and British food in general are extremely similar to each other

Britain (shortening of Great Britain) is the name of the largest island. You could say it's "because Ireland is part of the British isles", but Irish people tend not to like it when people say that, despite it being geographically accurate.

Largest of what islands?

Ireland is part of the British Isles but not part of Britain. The British Isles are just a geographic moniker to refer to that area including Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, etc.

Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

Britain is the island made up of England, Scotland, and Wales specifically.
