Big export by Ireland. English gave it the name.“
Never heard that. Maybe it’s true. Again, people in Ireland today are mystified by the Ireland/corned beef connection in America. It wasn’t and isn’t any kind of national dish that the Irish as a people revere. They ate it in America because it was relatively cheap. That’s the same reason the army bought it for the troops. And if it was some big export in Ireland then I’d doubt that the Irish were behind it. I’d guess the British were.
the British are culinary giants! /s
Thanks, I’ll definitely give them a try soon. I used to joke with friends that I drove all the way to Las Vegas just to get a sandwich at Carnegie’s in the Mirage.
George: what can you eat anymore? everything will kill you... my 100 year old grandparents are eating huge brisket sandwiches...
That’s the problem with it. It’s made to be preserved, not taste good.“””
Yeah, it’s more of a “hearty” sort of flavor. As a kid I wondered WHY such a rough meal would be held as some kind of national dish by anyone . It seemed idiotic. However beck in the 70s I marched in the nyc st Patrick’s day parade. It was cold and rainy all day. We went 10or 12 hrs without eating. Arriving back at the Hibernian hall all the way back in Babylon, drenched and freezing, they placed a steaming plate of corned beef cabbage and boiled potatoes in front of me and I wolfed it down in a minute or two. Oddly I remember that meal as the best tasting and most appreciated of my life. I hadn’t thought very much of it before that day but I enjoy the hell out of it now because of that day.
Whenever I read posts on FR that are short, sharp and seem a bit rude, I read them with a NY/Brooklyn accent, and they just seem normal.
Yep. I bet it tasted great.
Good food memories and associations are probably strong and long lasting.
“Gotta try that. We’ve done it boiled, with cabbage, in Guinness for St. Patty’s Day.”
Haven’t tried that. My wife adds beef broth to cover in the Instapot.
1668
Ireland produced a significant amount of the corned beef in the Atlantic trade from local cattle and salt imported from the Iberian Peninsula and southwestern France. Coastal cities, such as Dublin, Belfast and Cork, created vast beef curing and packing industries, with Cork producing half of Ireland’s annual beef exports in 1668.
Although the production and trade of corned beef as a commodity was a source of great wealth for the nations of Europe, in the colonies the product was looked upon with disdain due to its consumption by the poor and slaves.

I can’t have the Guinness anymore, so we’ll have to try it with the beef broth.
Boars Head is run by lefties!
Life is too short to eat crappy meat over something as silly as politics.
WRONG. I don’t want the country run by lefties but I also know it’s a two way street. Sure the top dog might be a lefty but what about the people that work for him? My boss at work is a die hard lib, I’m a conservative, so should you boycott the company because of him or support it because of me? My answer is we make a good product so if you’re in our marketplace you should buy on quality and forget the politics. Boar’s Head makes good food, which is what I’m looking for when I’m buying food.

purists... Feh...
don’t get any on ya while you have the war.
I make my own pastrami from brisket. Once it’s cured, it’s corned beef. Then spice, smoke and steam to get pastrami. I love pastrami Rueben’s.
yessir
Hint: 3/18 all corned beef gets marked down 50-75%
I freezes you can smoke it..
but it cheap, stack it deep..
slather with mustard
