thanks classic.

I don't get this post! Is corned beef considered a bad food in the USA? It's pretty common in Australia.

Of course I'm not talking about the sort of corned beef you get in a can. I'm talking about the sort that is a large cut of beef, pickled for a number of days (the butcher usually does that here), and then you boil that with spices and stuff for an hour or two and it is FABULOUS with spuds, cabbage and a mustard sauce. Slices of it are nice in sangers, too.

I thought (as the image slowly unfurled - we're on a satellite connection here in the sticks) maybe the corned beef was coloured green for St Patricks Day. But no, it's the pinky tasty corned beef I know and love.

Please explain!

My wife made corned beef for dinner yesterday.
It looked almost exactly like the image above, and was delicious.

In a small way, corned beef is something of a learned taste.
Maybe some people just don't learn, beyond steak and hamburgers.

In the French military, it's called a Can of Monkey (literal translation).

We call it heartburn.

Food snob much?

I love the corned beef. If I make it though I get the good stuff.

Corned beef is what you're supposed to eat on St. Patrick's Day.

I learned from Man Vs Food that your corned beef don't look nuttin' like ours.
I love our version of corned beef. White bread sandwich, unsalted butter, Branston Pickle. Yes please.

What is a Branston pickle?
