September 27th

National Corned Beef Day

(Be still my heart... how I LOVE this dish!!)

Corning refers to curing or pickling the meat in a seasoned brine. The word refers to the "corns" or grains of kosher (or other coarse) salt that is mixed with water to make a brine. Typically, brisket is used to make corned beef. The dish has many regional variations and seasonings. Historical note: Irish immigrants adapted corned beef from their Jewish neighbors on New York's Lower East Side as a cheaper alternative to Irish bacon, precipitating the now-traditional Irish-American dish, corned beef and cabbage. Smoking corned beef and adding extra spices produces pastrami!
