Corned was simply a way of preserving meat. That made it cheaper than fresh meat. People all over the world probably did it. It isn’t some kind of specifically Nationally recognized dish in Ireland. I’ve heard Irish in Ireland actually ask WHY corned beef is associated in the American mind with the Irish.

Big export by Ireland. English gave it the name.

That’s the problem with it. It’s made to be preserved, not taste good.
