Corned Beef

MilesMorales1

You literally wouldn't pay me to eat corned beef again, or any food associated with it. Rather go hungry. Rather go vegetarian, its the foulest meat I can imagine.

It's very strong-tasting, and if you have too much of it, it makes your pee smell ... meaty. So it needs to be sliced thin, or "diluted" in a recipe such as corned beef hash.

Most people don't know what proper corned beef is. Corned beef is a salt-cured beef. The term comes from the treatment of the meat with large grained rock salt, also called "corns" of salt.

Somewhere along the way somebody thought it meant pressed meat with sweetcorn added and squeezed into a can.

Clearly not true. The vast majority of the posters here clearly know the difference between the three main types of Corned Beef, in fact I think it is you that is mistaken thinking there is corn in the tinned stuff. 100% beef in the canned stuff. Just cooked and processed differently. :rolleyes::rolleyes:


If anyone wants to try real Corned Beef, Nolans butchers in Kilcullen sell it sliced. Will never taste the same as when you cook it at home but at least it is the real deal.

Haven't seen this in years!!!!

Haven't corned beef in years either. I remember it being pretty horrible. Leaves a layer of fat on your pallet.

Sliced corned beef from the deli, a slice of mature cheddar in a white bread sandwich. Few crisps on the side. Snack of the Gods.

I have not eaten in a good few years but yes I must admit to enjoying it's trashiness - crisp and corned beef sandwich is indeed a it's so bad it's good winner.

Since were talking about Corned Beef, it may also have been the one of the first smuggled items into space.

Astronaut John Young who just died on January 5th (RIP) smuggled a ham sandwich into space before.

The Transcript is brilliant:

Grissom: What is it?
Young: Corn beef sandwich.
Grissom: Where did that come from?
Young: I brought it with me. Let’s see how it tastes. Smells, doesn’t it?
Grissom: Yes, it’s breaking up. I’m going to stick it in my pocket.
Young: Is it?
Young: It was a thought, anyway.
Grissom: Yep.
Young: Not a very good one.
Grissom: Pretty good, though, if it would just hold together.
Young: Want some chicken leg?
Grissom: No, you can handle that.

Some congressmen were so furious with the prank that NASA has to apologies and 'take' measures that this would never happen again.

But Corned Beef was on the menu by the time of the space shuttle missions (Which John Young also flew)

Well thank goodness no one smuggled a copy of Playboy onto the moon. Aliens confused by artefact assume all Earthings are the same sex and have long hair and big tits.

Super-Rush

Corned beef with chips or with salad.

Corned beef, even Buckingham Palace eats corned beef.

Why don't you try corned beef haaaash.

A quarter of Corned Beef/Luncheon roll and 20 Johnnie Blue

The staple diet of every dole scrounger the length and breadth of the country

And Brawn. It's like crack cocaine to dole heads

You haven't lived until you have had corned beef and cabbage in a tayto sandwich.

Was given corned beef sandwiches for years at school. Butter and corn beef on bread. Sometimes I would swap with one of the lads who travelled on on our bus - my sandwich for his caprisun. :pac:

Lorelli!

Not really into the sliced stuff but the cooked one you have with cabbage is nice. I wouldn't have a sauce with it.

My mam never really made that or ham because my dad and brother don't like them but my granny use to make it quite a bit. Didn't matter what she made though, her food was always nice

I've made it myself a few times for a change.

Makes a killer stew.

Real corned beef is vile. The tinned stuff is even viler. When I was a kid the real stuff was often made from brisket. When you consider how good a brisket barbecued for 12-14 hours is, throwing it into a big tub of brine before boiling the arse out of it is an awful travesty.

While I respect you as a Boards.ie Admin, thank (g)(G)od you're not in charge of what I eat ! :eek::p

Links below to just one of dozens of craft butchers in Ireland who are producing unique meat products using quality Irish beef, pork, lamb etc- all delicious

I agree with you in terms of the tinned stuff- but please, educate yourself on brisket beef and other cuts and what craft butchers are doing with them. It's not all bad- corned beef is eye of the round, cured and pickled. Spiced beef is also a revelation.

If you call it brisket every hipster wets their beards over it.

Eat it hot or cold on Sunday, or you can put it in a blender.
