How exactly do they make corned beef?
In the U.S. and Canada, corned beef has two meanings. One refers to a cut of beef (usually brisket, but sometimes round or silverside) cured or pickled in a seasoned brine. The other use of the term refers to a tinned product generally found with canned goods on supermarket shelves The “corn” in “corned beef” refers to the “corns” or grains of coarse salts used to cure it. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the usage of “corn”, meaning “small hard particle, a grain, as of sand or salt.” The term “corned beef” can denote different styles of brine-cured beef, depending on the region.
