It's corned beef and cabbage time

[Bubba]

I guess I'm not shocked it's an American thing, but I am shocked that it isn't as well-known as I thought xD

Hey, tradition is tradition. Whether it's Irish or not, you can't argue with that

Please feel free to enjoy your questionable meat product and poorly chosen vegetable!

EDIT: I've just discovered that once again, American corned beef is different to English corned beef. Ours is a horrible minced corned beef mixed with gelatin and comes in a tin. The American corned beef we know here as salt beef which I've never heard of.

I'm sure the American version is nicer because to me... there is not much worse than an English corned beef sandwich.

Seriously, the corned beef we get here is disgusting and nobody should enjoy it. xD

Ah culture differences.

The kind in a tin is also a huge Filipino thing. My bf mentioned it and I was like "Wait. Hold up. Why the hell do you know what corned beef is!?"

& then he went on to say that it comes in a can... So I made him "real" corned beef and cabbage and he loves it.

It's just cured beef brisket.
