MMMMMMMmmmmmm!

Corned beef with cabbage, onion, and carrots, and limeade and green jello.

A family tradition, and darn delicious!

I bet St. Patrick ate it all the time as a "Druid repellant"..........Must've worked, as I don't see any Druids in my garden; the odd Leprechaun or two, but no Druids.

I like corned beef hash for a special brunch. A tad salty, but with a good cuppa it all goes down good!

Since my mother died, earlier this year, we have my Dad over for dinner a lot.

Let's just say I should have boiled TWO slabs o' corned beef, so I could have had leftovers.

You all made me wish I had planned to cook some this year...then I was saved by receiving a nice plate of corned beef and cabbage as part payment for playing at a local bar for St. Patrick's Day. Came with a horseradish sauce--love the stuff so I took a big bite of it and thought my eyelids were melting. Yeeha!

I had corn beef with cabbage and rashers on the seventeenth. They were very good. There's a pic in the gallery, at least for a while. You can see me tasting a rasher

Usually by this time of the St. Patrick's "season", I've had about my body weight in corned beef, and don't even want to look at it for months. But I didn't march this year, so I finally got around to stopping at a Kosher deli (only because everyone knows they have the best corned beef and pastrami) for lunch, and having a corned beef sandwich there. It was good.

Apropos of nothing, but I figured, what the heck, it's a corned beef thread.

You bring to mind the home brewer who lamented that he would probably never learn how long it took his beer to mature because it was always still improving when he drank the last bottle.

OK - I have to ask - what is this corned beef of which you speak?

We (in England) get cans of corned beef - but it isn't anything you'd go misty eyed over.
