The only corned beef you ever see here in Ireland comes in a can. It's... not great. It's minced and has a weird texture and aftertaste. Think SPAM only made with beef.

I've seen pictures of the stuff you get at deli counters in the US. It actually looks quite good.

Apparently in America the Irish Immigrants turned to the kosher butchers and it eventually became what it is in America.

I only found that out recently. It was a couple of years ago when I was arguing with someone else in a similar thread that bacon, cabbage and potato was the traditional Irish meal. Then I learned from Max Miller that history goes further back than what my mom told me.

Here's a couple of videos. Highly recommended.

I have a can of it my cupboard right now. It's next to the canned carrots, peas, peaches and strawberries. And the canned steak and kidney pie (:barf:). I can't remember where I got most of that stuff from, likely xmas food hampers from a charity I worked at years ago.

I don't throw food out but I'm only going to eat those if there's an emergency or something. Like a zombie apocalypse.
